Zoom doesn't exit when you press the X icon

This application DOES NOT close when pressing the X icon in the upper right. You can't exit from the taskbar using the right click menu to close window. Even alt-f4 can't close it. Instead this application is set to automatically disappear into the user's "notification area" so it LOOKS like it's closed, but it stays active in the background. 

The "notification area" is the hidden icon tray. Windows users can find this in the lower right hand side of their screen by clicking the ^ icon near the clock.

You have to either sign out from the user menu and then exit OR right click the icon in the "notification area" or hidden icon tray to exit. 

This program is predatory to people who don't know their program does not close when the X icon is pressed. It should NEVER automatically hide itself and still run in the background. The process to close the program is unintuitive, not user-friendly, and purposely obfuscates how to close the program. I had to google around to find out there is no solution.


You'll need to go to https://zoom.us/feed to submit feedback since this hasn't been addressed since 2022.

Your admin staff needs to make sure the links they provide users are correct. The feedback links on the original post from @RN are invalid.

Cambié de otro servicio para cambiarme por ZOOM antes de la pandemia, porque tenía más funcionalidades.  Sin embargo, desde hace un año regresé al viejo servicio😔 porque el audio no me funciona para mis clases de música, se cancela el sonido, los agudos para las clases de flauta, no se escuchan. Me encantaría regresar a ZOOM si ese problema se solucionara, es lo único por lo que estoy con otro servicio.  Actualmente, estoy en la conferencia de Álvaro Luque y no tengo sonido, he seguido todos los tutoriales, me salí y volví a entrar y sigo sin audio.😠

Zoom crashes Laptop when starting external camera

Our environment is Lenovo laptops running Windows 11 Enterprise 23H2. Connected to a docking station with 2 monitors and external Lenovo webcam. 

 

Ever since the release of version 6.4.0, ever time we start the video using the external camera, the laptop crashes or freezes. It doesn't happen when using the built-in camera. We ruled out that it's not the dock station since we have different models of docks and we've also plugged the external camera directly to the laptop. It has happened to over 50 users in our company. The other workaround is perform the following in Zoom. It's a workaround, not a fix. Is Zoom going to address this issue?

 
1.      Select your profile picture in the top-right.
2.      Click Settings.
3.      On the left-hand menu, select Video.
4.      Click Advanced.
5.      Beneath Use hardware acceleration for, uncheck all the options.
 
1.      Launch Zoom Client.
2.      Open its Settings and select Video from the left side.
3.      Click Advanced and then select Direct3D9 in the Video Rendering Method drop-down menu.
4.      Leave other options to Auto.
5.      Restart Zoom

Zoom picks up both external mic and laptop mic?!

When we host a large gathering, we have a separate speaker and microphone. Windows picks up both via Bluetooth, zoom only shows the speaker in the audio controls. On to when we're hosting, it's a large gathering and we have it on zoom for those that cannot be there. We also record the meeting. The people on zoom say they can hear the people controlling the laptop as well as the person on the external mic. How do we silence the laptop users? (they need to speak at times). We tried switching off the audio in windows 11 settings but it switched all the mics off.  Went to Best Buy and they told me it was a zoom problem!

I can't sign in with the zoom app it just redirects me to the browser to sign in which I do and the app still isn't signed in. I can't join zoom meetings either with error 5003. I have uninstalled and reinstalled zoom to no avail. My firewall is disabled and it still happens. I have to join from the browser which works but is a pain to use.

I'm having issues with Zoom when I'm recording, the sound and audio switch from my rodecaster pro to my MacBook throughout my recording, especially if there is a small break in sound. It goes back and forth between the rodecaster and the MacBook when it comes to the mic and speaker. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?

Videos of meetings recorded on MacOS with Screen Sharing do not match the view during meeting

Hello,

 

I've been working as a legal videographer recording depositions remotely over zoom.

 

For purposes of the deposition video, I have the witness pinned for the duration of the meeting. According to other people that I work with, on their systems (generally Windows) when one of the lawyers initiates a screen share, they adjust slider to make the witness take up about 1/3rd of the screen. Their recorded videos generally reflect what was on screen during the meeting.

 

I am using a MacBook Pro and a Mac mini - both systems when the screen sharing starts I drag the slider to about midway through the screen. When I view the recorded file, the witness starts out as a VERY small thumbnail and no matter how far I drag the slider their video in the recording takes up about 1/5th of the screen. I would really like to figure out a way to make the final video look like my screen during the meeting without having to use 3rd party software to record the window.

 

Any help greatly appreciated.
