Default ON: original sound for musicians with Windows 11

Hi,
  I broadcast a Church Service via Zoom using a video camera plugged into a Windows 11 laptop (HDMI to USB).  All works sort of OK.  But a big problem is Original Sound.

The system used to remember to leave Original Sound in its previous (on) state.  But now it always defaults to the Original Sound=Off.  No problem, I hear you say, just switch it On every time.  I Do.  Until I don't.  Every once in a while I forget and the service is broadcast and recorded with unusable sound.  The spoken word is barely listenable and the singing is broken up and awful.  

Is there any way to force Original Sound=ON as the default please?

 

I have seen one comment elsewhere about a registry setting.  But the registry tree it talks about is not present on my machine.  So I'm guessing that must be windows 10.

 

Once I have that solved , I'll need to fix the very low resolution of the recording.  Nothing I do seems to address that.  As presenter, I always use HD mode for my image and can't control other people.

 

Thanks

Zoom background always blurred

I am using Samsung/Android and just today noticed I can't remove the blur from my Zoom background.  I have tested on different Zoom accounts and the "blur" is on all of them.    It is not quite as blurred as the "Blur" option in the "Background & Effects" but clearly out of focus even thoughts I tap "none" .

This seriously affects my work so would urgently need help.
Has anyone seen this behavior or know how to correct it?

I use Zoom for my yoga classes since many years without issues. Since about a month, I think since Zoom update to Workplace, I start my class sharing music from Spotify, as always, and using my Rode Wireless microphone. Suddenly, my mic disconnect and no more sounds are shared. When I try to unplug my mic or adjust the setting in Zoom, the whole app freezes and stop working. I have to start the meeting again and use my laptop microphone instead of my Rode microphone. Is there a solution to this issue??

Does anyone know if there is a way of retrieving a zoom call I made but didn't record.

I have a free account and don't see how to record my calls, which I would like to do going forwards.

But for now, this one I just made is very important and I would love to be able to retrieve it.

Thank you

Why is Zoom ruining everything?

In the past year or so, Zoom keeps making changes that make the entire experience terrible and more laborious. Commonly used features are being put behind multiple steps. At least give us the options to revert to how it was or to edit things? 1 - No ... Show more

In the past year or so, Zoom keeps making changes that make the entire experience terrible and more laborious. Commonly used features are being put behind multiple steps. At least give us the options to revert to how it was or to edit things?

 

1 - No "End Meeting" button anymore from Meeting Controls whilst screen sharing, you have to click on "Show Meeting" first (or end the screen share) in order to see the option 

 

2 - Screen sharing options now on 3rd "Advanced" tab

 

3 - Screen sharing via AirPlay no longer works. The "Zoom-device-name" item doesn't show up. I have "AirPlay Receiver" switched off as suggested by Zoom Support. I tried again after switching it back on to see if that worked but it didn't. 

 

Why is Zoom determined to make life harder and more complicated?

 

For issues 1 and 2, there's nothing I can do because Zoom have made the changes in their apps and I've scoured all possible settings but there's no option to move stuff around for those specific things. 

 

For issue number 3, I've tried: 

The Zoom app is up to date on my devices.

My devices have the latest firmware running. 

I've tried on multiple devices and instances of Zoom. 

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Zoom.

I've tried restoring my Macs and also my iPads from factory default.

I've been using the Rode WirelessGoII mics without issue for two years every Sunday morning. The last few weeks, the mic doesn't work despite it being plugged in securely, app updated, mic assured to be turned on, all the requirements.

iPad OS 17.3

Zoom version 5.17.5

Testing on a new meeting, it works fine. But when I try the old scheduled meeting, or new scheduled meetings, it won't work. Doesn't show as muted, but there's no sound.

I have updated software for Rode, Zoom and the iPad. Checked that the Mic settings in general/apps has allowed Zoom access. 

The only way the mic works is if I start do a New Meeting. 

Anyone having the same issue? Any fixes?

This has gone on for multiple years now. Our company schedules several Zoom Meetings to be held in the upcoming year, throughout the entire year. Inevitably, some of these Meetings will be deleted from Zoom without our knowing. We are not deleting them on our end and we do not receive notice that they are deleted. Of the several Meetings we schedule for the year, some will be deleted but not all.

 

After they are scheduled (always using Zoom desktop), we do not touch these meetings. All that happens is the link is put into an automated email for participants to use to access the Meeting.

 

Please advise!

Are late participants able to see chat?

If someone joins a Zoom meeting late, are they only able to see the chat messages after they log on; or are they able to see the discussion prior to their arrival?  And, is there a setting that controls this?
