All the directions for "Assigning an Alternative Host" say to look for Advanced Options - there is nothing I can find called that when I am editing a Meeting. There is an "Advanced" column on the left-side menu, but it's only about other features, none of which is connected to adding an alternative host. 

Advanced

• App Marketplace
• Branding
• Security
• Single Sign-On

  But there is an "Options" list, but it doesn't allow me to save the email I put in for someone else I want to host. Why not? It says it cannot find whatever email I put in.

  • Integration

     

     

     

  I cannot send direct messages to the meeting host.  I am getting an 'error' message when trying to send a (private) "direct message" to the meeting host. It disallows sending my message and says, "[host user name] is restricted from receiving direct messages".   But the host has not disabled anything.

  I have been using Zoom since March 2020 as a host, cohost, and participant.  I have co/hosted hundreds of meetings since then, so I know my way around most of the more common settings, including the account holder universal settings.  I have used Zoom on various iterations of Windows, Mac, Chrome, iPhone, iPad, Android tablets, etc.  The problem is currently being experienced on an iPhone 13ProMax. 

  I am presently in a meeting as a participant with 10-15 people and a single host on an enterprise account for a college. (The host is in TX, and the participants are in CA.)  On more than one recent occasion, I have been receiving this 'error' message when trying to send a direct message to the host.  I can send a direct message to 'Everyone', and the host can send a direct message to me. But I cannot send one to the host.  Other participants, including me simultaneously joined from another device, are able to send direct messages to the host. Direct messages between participants have been disabled. (I.e., direct messages can only be sent to the host and to 'everyone', but not to each other.)

  Neither the host nor I know anything about this 'error' and cannot see how to disable/enable this.  The host has not intentionally blocked anyone.  In fact, the host has not made any changes to the chat settings. The host is in the main room with all participants (has not joined a breakout room).

  Something else:  I was able to send a test direct message to "Everyone".  After that, I was also able to send a direct message to the host.  Neither of us knows why I am suddenly able to send a message to the host.  Coincidence?

  We would very much appreciate any information regarding how to re-enable (or even how to enable/disable) direct messages between a participant and a host.  Is this a host thing, a user thing, a universal thing?  Is there a setting for this? Or is this a mysterious bug?  Thank you in advance.

I have installed Calendly and tested it and it worked fine.  However, when I integrated with Zoom it set up the meeting an hour earlier.  My Zoom is set up as GMT and so is Calendly.  I have even checked the setting on my PC and they are also set up for the correct time zone.  Any suggestions?

I Recently got a new laptop, and started utilizing Zoom for school, i have been consistently experiencing glitches and problems with my display every time there is a screen share, on zoom, I have tried seeing if this was just a problem with my computer, but I have never experienced anything with any other app that is related to this problem. I added some images so people could understand what im working with...Appreciate the help!

Hello.  I am currently using Zoom Pro for my organization's meeting.  I would like to record an annotated transcript to aid in producing meeting minutes.  By annotated I mean a transcript in which the current speaker is identified.

As I understand the licensing, I can't test the transcript option unless I upgrade to a Business license but I dont want to do this until I can confirm that the transcript recording will contain speaker identification.

I have found conflicting reports in other posts that are not current and haven't found a good example anywhere.

Can anyone point to an example of a transcript of a meeting that has been produced with the current version of Zoom?

(I know Otter supposedly does speaker ID, but it must be trained for each speakers voice (AFIK).  Speaker info is in the live stream and should be able to be retrieved real time with high confidence. )

Thanks for your help,

Dan
