"Try new version" is now forced on us

In April a new version broke Outlook integration, as detailed at https://community.zoom.com/t5/Zoom-Meetings/quot-Use-an-external-calendar-quot-checkbox-setting-no-longer/m-p/175167 But we could unselect "Try new version" and the functionality was re... Show more

In April a new version broke Outlook integration, as detailed at https://community.zoom.com/t5/Zoom-Meetings/quot-Use-an-external-calendar-quot-checkbox-setting-no-longer/m-p/175167

 

But we could unselect "Try new version" and the functionality was restored (first image).  

 

With the most recent version, the "Try new version" control is gone (second image) and we are forced onto the new version, breaking Outlook integration.

 

Is there a fix for this?

Share Screen with Sound, Do Not Want To Hear Audio On Sharing Device - Using Mac

I have a scenario where 2 laptops are in the same space, one is hosting and the other is presenting a video with audio. The hosting laptop is connected to the room system, so any audio coming from the host computer will be amplified to the room. This includes any audio that the presenting laptop screen shares.

 

So to avoid an echo, it would be ideal for the presenting laptop (MacBook) to screen share with sound, but not output audio to the laptop. I want the laptop to only output audio to Zoom. But the volume of the screen shared audio seems to be tied with the laptop output volume. If I mute volume output on the MacBook, the screen shared audio is muted. In the Zoom meeting if I "Leave Computer Audio" the audio is still heard both through the laptop speakers and the screen share.

 

What I really need in Zoom is a "Select a speaker: None" option. The fix right now is to plug in headphones.

 

Is there a way to screen share with audio but not output audio to the computer (specifically a Mac)? Thanks!

Raised Hand notification blocks tiles in large meeting

Is there a way to turn off the various notifications when someone raises their hand and or joins the waiting room. It blocks the tiles and if we need to pin someone, the ellipsis is blovks.

 

Thanks in advance.

I extended the time period for a monthly meeting and when I copied the meeting invitation, the dates of future meetings did not appear. Support article says they are listed under Meetings/Upcoming. In the past, the dates were at the bottom of the meeting information. Where did they go and how do I get them back?

I went to record something with music and voice yesterday and all of a sudden the enable original sound toggle is gone when using my android to record. i read in the community people said with ipad they were having the same issue and to go to the gear icon. There is no gear icon on an android phone in a meeting. I checked on my desktop and i had that toggle enabled in settings but it needs to be there on my phone so people can hear music and voice. Why does zoom not let us know of these changes. So frustrating...and embarrasing!

Co host capabilites

Can't a designated co-host start the recording?  I have listed several different people, but each time they try to start the recording for me, it says only the host can do it?

What am I doing wrong?

I'm writing to report a recent change in the screen-sharing functionality within Zoom. Previously, I was able to seamlessly share my entire desktop screen during meetings, which greatly enhanced my productivity. However, for the past few months, this option has been limited to partial screen sharing. For example, if I'm sharing a Google Doc and then want to present something from my desktop, I have to stop sharing the Google Doc to switch to the other document.

This limitation is causing significant disruptions to my workflow as I'm constantly having to stop sharing my screen to access different documents or applications. I've noticed that several other users are experiencing the same issue.

I would like to inquire if there is a solution or workaround to restore the full-screen sharing capability. Is this a known bug or a deliberate change in the software?

Application icons no longer display on application windows when share screen

I recall in the past, when I go to share my screen, the application-specific windows used to have the icon of the application on the lower left or right corner.  That icon no longer displays.  Has anyone else noticed this?  Is this a known issue/design choice in some recent update?

 

That icon was really helpful in identifying the specific windows I want to share.

Is there any way to allow a meeting attendee to enter a zoom meeting I've setup without having to be put in a waiting room or without needing a passcode?  When I was using Working live my meeting attendees would be in the room immediately when they used the meeting zoom link and now they are forced by my settings to wait in a waiting room for me to let them in.  What setting needs to be changed for them to just enter the room with no restrictions?

Thanks
