Pin screen even if on mute

On a conference call, we have people working in the office and at home. In the office, we usually connect one of the computers to a speaker. This prevents Zoom from recognizing the person speaking and pin him or her automatically. I would suggest to continue "listening" and pin even if the person is muted.

The Zoom Debian Linux package is requiring ibus. But ibus is part of GNOME desktop.

So installing zoom_amd64.deb under KDE Plasma breaks keyboard support due to ibus and related dependencies which do not work under KDE.

 

Thus hereby a request to please remove ibus from required dependencies in zoom_amd64.deb.

Zoom video recording sped up

Hello,

 

I recently recorded a 3 hour zoom meeting to my local PC, and the recording converted normally. 

When I check the converted file, it's only 30 minutes long... it turns out that the first 8 minutes of the meeting were recorded normally, and the remainder duration was compressed and sped up very, very fast, to result in such a short recording.

 

I have looked at older discussions reporting a similar issue, but there doesn't seem to be a fix. I also tried the "Double click" to convert it a second time, but it again produced a 30 minute recording with the same issue, which leads me to believe the file was corrupted.

 

Is there a way to prevent this from happening again? Thank you for any insight.

I am trying to stream to a Facebook Group and since the 22nd April, 24 removal of third-party apps to do this I have to use a Zoom to do this. I turned on the ability via the switch on the desktop zoom account to allow integrations and apps. I did try to do a custom setup and it had an error so I removed it - and now the custom section is greyed out - I am beyond trying to work out what zoom setting needs changing. I have turned on and off the switch - reset the app - still nothing - any thoughts... Kind of desperate.

Hi,

as of lately I find that each time that I start zoom by putting the link of a zoom room in the browser, it takes ages before the zoom dialog saying that the host will let me in soon appears....is it possible that this happens because I need to install a new version of the zoom client?
I am also trying to install again the zoom client but each time it gets stuck at 0% without progressing (on Windows 10)

What happens is that the spearker test is not working, I can't hear any sound coming out. Mic is okay. I can't hear the notification sounds such as when a participant asks to join, or actually joins the meeting etc. It's funny that I can hear and talk with the participants normally, though. I've tried many things, nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Stop Zoom window minimizing when sharing

Hi guys,  

 

I run lectures from home, I have 3 monitors, I set up Zoom and Chrome Browser on half a screen each on my left, I have Power Point presenter view in the middle and the presentation on the right.  In the Zoom window I have it set up to see the participants list and Chat window.

 

I click Screen share and share the right screen (the powerpoint presentation) and instantly Zoom minimizes to the silly little floating window and I lose the chat window. I have to manually reopen the window every time I change shares to keep seeing the chat.  Is there a setting (in windows version) to disable this auto minimize on sharing?  Seached and can not find anything!

 

Cheers, Dave.

Hi, Can someone confirm if Workplace Pro only comes with one licence? We have this account and need at least two people to be able to host meetings (longer than 40mins) independently. We thought this account meant we could do this but currently only one person has the licence and the other is a basic user on the acccount.

Do we really need to buy another full licence? Thank you

Maybe a month ago or so, my colleague and I discovered a setting in Zoom that allowed us to customize the appearance of the app. There were a number of background images to choose from, and I selected a delightful vector-style illustration with leaves and such. Today I noticed my app is back to "normal" and the only customization options I can find are just the three different colours (Bloom, Agave, Rose) and Classic. 

 

Was I hallucinating about those additional customizations? Is this something that perhaps the IT administrators at my company have turned off? Or is there some other explanation?

Local recording too long and audio too slow

We saved a recorded meeting of 1.5 hrs locally, and resulting video file is 4 hrs, and audio is delayed and waaay too slow. What happened and can the files be fixed? Thanks!
