I found the setting options to let Zoom automatically update .. However it seems that Zoom always decides to update when I am in the middle of a meeting ?  Then my screen freezes , I have to leave meeting, then come back later ..   //    If i turn off automatic updates, then will I get  any updates ?  I would like a way to instruct Zoom to update , or search for updates, on my command, in my timing..     Is there a set of menu options to achieve that ?

Hi

 

I tried to log into a meeting today through a link and then clicking on launch meeting but it would not let me join. It was no problem to join through the phone though and eventually it worked through "join from your browser".

 

I then tried to set up a meeting to test whether I could join. I set up a meeting on the webbrowser but every time a windows opens with "Start new meeting? You will have to leave this meeting to start the new meeting" although I do not have any  meeting open. If I want to start the meeting through the Zoom client the start button for the meeting is greyed out. 

 

I checked all plugins and extensions. Also downloaded last version. 

 

Anyone got an idea how to remedy this problem?

I recently received a link and a phone number to join a Zoom Meeting. I opened the Zoom app and logged in but couldn't find a/the desktop phone app to call in and join the rest of my co-workers in the meeting. Can anyone tell me how to access the/a phone on my laptop? I have now missed 2 meetings and I posted this question  2 wseeks ago and the only response I got was from Andrew2 saying he didn't understand my question. I would appreciate  anyone telling me  because Jobs are hard to find and if I miss another meeting you can be sure I won't have a job. Thank you very much and have a wonderful day

I have a strange problem with my camera. I reformatted my computer and reinstalled Windows 10. I reinstalled the zoom app. When I use my camera on zoom, the picture appears not to be pointing at me and the image is too big and the resolution is poor. I can use the camera properly with every other programme and app on my computer - in face I took a picture using it for my Windows 10 profile. Oddly, if I use the same camera on my backup computer it wotks fine in zoom. I have reinstalled Zoom twice and checked that no other apps are sharing the camera. Any thoughts?

telephone dial-ins being blocked from meetings

In 2020 and 2021, telephone dialins from participants in Hawaii,  to my zoom meetings had no problem getting into the meeting waiting room so I could admit them to the meeting.  Beginning in Jan this year, participants who previous had not had any problem, have been greeted with the following after they call the zoom access number provided in the meeting invite (such as Tacoma and Denver):  “The number you are calling from is not allowed due to geographic restrictions required by the meeting host.” 

Since I am in Washington State, and the persons dialing in are in Hawaii, there can be no geographic restrictions, unless Zoom and forgotten that Hawaii is a state of the United States.  

So what's causing this problem and what do I have to do to get it fixed?

Hi !

 

Does anyone know this?

 

I have enabled the breakout room option using the web portal.

Then I clicked Schedule a meeting.

But there is no other button for me about creating breakout rooms, hence no way for me to upload a CSV file at all.

 

Why is it so?

Is it due to the license ?

Thank you!

Hi all

 

Does anyone know how early can I set my breakout rooms?

I have about 200 users and 15 rooms, all prepared in a csv required for upload to zoom.

Today is 3 March. My meeting is 18 March.

I read somewhere I should only set them up within 24 hours of actual meeting.

 

If so, can I schedule a meeting first without uploading the csv, 

obtain the meeting ID and password first,

then do up the breakout rooms in the web portal later?

 

thank you!

Any suggestions????

Host's Zoom Connection Stopped

I am hosting a meeting and sharing my screen and videos.  Almost two hours into the meeting the sharing stops and I am no longer the host but a participant with no controls.  I can unmute myself and talk to others but I am disconnected as the host and have to log back in.  This has happened twice using the same device in about the same amount of time.  The first time there was a dialog box hidden behind other open windows that some one else had logged in using my id.  But I was the only one logged in.  I restarted my laptop and logged back in to get reconnected.  I logged into a different device and did not have this problem.  What could be causing the issue?  Any ideas?

Hello!

I'm speaking at a conference and set up my recordings per the specs from the brand hosting the conference. 

 

My Zoom recorded my screen share with audio separate from my talking head (they want both side-by-side). 

 

Is there any way to easily combine them?
