Hi, is it possible for me to host meetings with zoom with a simple link that I always use for all my clients, and just send it to whoever I want without specifying a time anywhere and I just let in people from the waiting area as they arrive?

I thought this was what I was doing but it often doesn't always work.

*Sometimes the participants tell me there is a time on the meeting (that I don't know how to delete)?

*Or they see a message saying 'waiting for the host to start the meeting' despite me already being there.

*Othertimes I get an email saying he participant is waiting for me to join, despite me being in the zoom meeting alone already.  Then I log out and use the link in the email which seems to work eventually but is unprofessional.

Can anyone help keep this extremely simple for me?  Jen

I am new to Zoom. When inviting guests, is their an easier way to invite besides crying invitation and eating it to an email? What if you do not have an email for individuals and only phone numbers? Does the guest have to download the Zoom app or can they just click on the link? 

I have done some research on both the Zoom support site, the main Zoom.us site, and the Zoom learning center and I haven't been able to find a guide or best practices document to share with registrants of upcoming Zoom meetings.

Some of the things I was looking for the document to highlight are listed below.

• Steps for optimizing your Zoom experience ( ie. disconnect from VPNs or firewalls before joining a Zoom meeting, using a hard-wired internet connection, recommended audio connection, joining zoom test meeting etc. ) 
• More specific technical requirements that may be needed (bandwidth requirements, speed requirements, etc) 
• Recommended browsers
• Audio suggestions 
• The do's and don't's  of setting a user up for success within the Zoom virtual platform 

I wasn't sure if something like this existed? 

Hi. I bought a laptop, and have an issue. Recording the desktop, the webcam window is positioned outside the desktop, in a vertical black bar just in the top corner. On the other laptop, I didn't suffer that bug. The Operating System is Debian 11 x64 up to date, and intel i3 10th gen with Intel UHD graphics. That Linux distro always has the latest intel graphic stack, Is the hardware too new and the drivers not supporting  Zoom yet? I've been using the device since December 22nd. I would appreciate a suggestion to fix the problem or set zoom right. In windows 10 I have similar problems.
UPDATE: Hi. I set something wrong; placed the camera window next to the desktop record. Changed it and now both are well combined. But the zoom control bar place is black, ruining the desktop.  I suppose is a graphic glitch or Desktop Environment conflict. I have the cinnamon desktop. Is there something I can do?

By the way, in Windows 10 I changed the setting, and now looks fine.

We are Using Zoom for live church. We have original Sound turned on, high fidelity music mode. All the normal things that are supposed to stop zoom from compressing the sound but it still continues to do so. We are using a Magwell capture card to bring in the video and audio. We do not share our screen but spotlight the Magwell Capture card which acts like a webcam. When we play music it is being compressed still and gets choppy but the singers sound fine. I have been dealing with this for months trying every little trick I find on the internet and nothing is working. Anyone have an answer to this issue.

Thanks
