I would like a feature to be implemented that allows users to select the camera when using the screen share feature to share content from a second camera. Every time, when I share content from a second camera, I have to switch the camera to the last camera on my list of 4 cameras. I was able to remove 2 of the cameras but for others this may not be as convenient especially if they want to select a certain video source from a list of many. Please add this feature, as it would make it easier to find the target camera to share.

I made a recording in Zoom. This was not a meeting, but just a recording i did to show someone how to use the iPhone. I shared the iPhone screen, i saw it perfectly during the recording. When i played back the recording, the iPhone screen didn't show, only the Mac desktop and sound. Not the iPhone screen. Why is this?
Appreciate any help here!

I have been using Zoom weekly for Bible study meetings with 6 friends for 1-1/2 year. For the past 3 meetings I got error messages from Comcast (***********) that the invitations failed delivery to 3 people ("permanent error"). Today it delivery failed to 2 of those same people. I am using Microsoft Outlook 365 for the invitations. Two of the three friends who failed to receive the invitations use gmail, but one of those two did go through today. Why all of a sudden do meeting invitations fail to deliver after 1-1/2 yr?

Hola, soy usuario frecuente de Zoom cuento con PLAN PRO más Large Meeting1.000 participantes Quedo atento.
Usualmente damos conferencia con más de 200 Usuarios y suelo armar salas de grupos de hasta 5 participantes haciendo uso del máximo de sala permitidas que son 50. En los meses anteriores podía hacer las salas de grupos sin ningún inconveniente.
Pero durante esta semana se me hace imposible realizar 45 salas de grupos con 5 o 6 participantes, he intentado de mil maneras y al momento de pinchar el botón de INICIAR TODAS LAS SESIONES las mismas sesiones no se inician, y el error es constante he tenido, he armado 42 salas 43, y nunca es posible iniciar las sesiones siendo yo el anfitrión de dicha sala principal.
Tienen alguna solución para dicho problema? nos urge solucionar rápido ya que nos quedan el día de mañana viernes y el sábado aun como conferencia.

Hello,
In the Pro version, after recording to the cloud, the download file is either ...1920x1080.mp4 or ...3686x2304.mp4. Any suggestions on how format is selected and if it can be selected.
Hi everybody, my Screen share always worked normally. Now, for around one week, it's still works except when I switch a PowerPoint presentation to slideshow mode. At this moment my share screen freezes for guests: I see correctly the next slides on my computer screen but guests can only see the first one. Does anyone know how I can resolve this?

I have a 2015 DELL PC. Zoom has worked perfectly for me in the past, however, recently, the sound and audio has stopped. I can hear everyone but no one can hear me and when I host I cannot record. I've tried everything online, even, even installing a new driver and updating my web browser.

Hello, I realize that authorizing "unmute" sometimes requires the participant to confirm he authorized the host to "unmute", sometimes not. What is the rule ? Confirmation required the first time ? always ? Confirmation required then from time to time ? frequency ? or what is the condition leading to requesting confirmation again... Thank you for your help, kind regards, Michel

Hi,
I was wondering whether it was better for a mixed audience (where, for instance, half of them have a low-speed internet connection, and the other half have high-speed internet connection) to show 720p or it was better to send 480p videos.
So, my question is the following: When sharing the screen from my main workstation (Or only sharing the application window, maybe it's different but I guess the tech stack when sharing in both cases are the same) is the video feed in the client being automatically converted to a smaller size, given their network capabilities? Or do they suffer in any sense?
I was thinking about the low-end and low-network devices which connect to the Zoom meetings, and the idea of showing a video with a lower resolution was proposed (The video is sometimes shown through a given application, and sometimes the entire screen is shared).
Thanks
