Hello,

I am just wondering if anyone could help me with where I could get more information about the algorithms used in Zoom that prioritize certain speakers when in “Speaker View” when several people are talking at the same time?

Also are there any documentation on how the platform chooses who gets in the top window of profiles when a screen is being shared? How does the platform choose who gets to be on the top of the screen and why are the other participants of the call left out?

Any directions on where I could find this information would be extremely appreciated.

Thank you very much for your time and help.

We've hosted a few virtual conferences now, some lasting multiple days and involve different tracks/breakout sessions people can attend. I'm curious what tips and tricks any of you have picked up along the way for those who have done similar things.  Some stuff we've learned:

• The Concurrent Meeting addon is useful if you want to schedule all the links yourself and not use someone else's license/log in to support multiple sessions
  • However you still cannot host a Webinar and a meeting at the same time, regardless of this license or not.
• While we've looked at some online event platforms, we've never found the cost worth it, as most of them basically just organize your Zoom links in a more user/app-friendly manner.  I've just encouraged everyone so far to keep their links organized, and then distribute them as hyperlinks in emails or PDFs for attendees.  So far it's worked well.

I'd love to hear what else others have picked up from doing similar events!

We are trying to get list of participants for past meetings. However when we started with Zoom it was a free subscription, not a paid one. Can we still get that list even though we had those meetings as free users?

(We also want to do a batch select and grab lists over multiple meetings but that is my secondary question)

The professors my team support all use Polls. Only one uses the poll reports and we are trying to become more familiar with them. Has any one used the Poll Reports a lot? Does the meeting need to have registration enabled or have the authenticated user setting checked to see the names on the poll reports?
