There are plenty of devices in my home network - tablets, laptops, smartphones - all of them are able to connect to zoom without a problem. As expected.

But I have one device, and old iMac, that can't connect to zoom.us. The issue is with the zoom app, and with every browser I'm trying. The browser shows a timeout error.
I've tried to look of there's a firewall, a faulty hosts file on the computer, or even an issue with the router, but couldn't find anything.

I've tried uninstalling the zoom app, using the uninstall procedure, but that didn't help either.

I can't find any similar issues online.

I'm kinda lost for solutions here.

Can someone help me please?

I use Zoom to record interviews, and have set my settings so that when I open a meeting, the record function turns on automatically.  Recently however I have been finding that often doesn't happen, and when I try to turn on "Record" Zoom replies that I have to request permission from the host.  That makes no sense, as I am the host of the meeting.  How do I resolve this so that I can turn on "Record"?

Tonight I  held a meeting and found that "Virtual Background" is greyed out - cannot select any.

I am on Windows 10 and on the current version 5.10.7 and I can "add and image" but I cannot select any of the images as a Virtual Background.

I now have 4 options - Virtual Background, Video Filters, Avatars and then  BETA.

First time I have seen the BETA version which is not selectable,- same as the virtual background options.  

The "avatars" and "video filters" all operate fine and can be changed.

Prior to tonight I could select an  virtual background images.

Can anyone shed some light please.

Hi there

My students are requesting that there be some way to  give them an audio/verbal broadcast message. This is because the broadcast messages at the top of their screens are often not seen by the group. I was doing a great activity where the students have to move through a set of documents, with 5 minutes on each, but they were not seeing the prompts to move to the next. In addition, messages they do see often fade away too quickly.

I know we can share screens with the BOR but that limits the groups abilities, so to me, that is not a solution.

What can you do Zoom??
