Using recycling expired Meeting IDs - block joining from old link

When a Meeting ID has expired, deleted, and then released to the pool of available Meeting IDs there is the risk to inadvertently join someone else's meeting if the old link is mistakenly clicked and the new meeting owner has not protected it with a password.

Currently, the only 'flag' presented to the user joining the meeting is that they are [joining an External Meeting]. 

Expectation would be that, since the old link is pointing to a specific domain not associated to where the Meeting ID lives anymore, that the user attempting to join the meeting is presented with a notification to note the [Link is invalid].

 

Alternatively, it would be great to have a way to either keep users in our account from inadvertently joining meetings that are not password protected or to 'Accept' that they are joining a non-password protected meeting.

Zoom Locks Up When Entering a Meeting, Says it Failed to Detect Microphone and Speakers

About a week ago, Zoom starting having microphone issues. In the first meeting, I restarted and it was fine. In the next meeting, as I attempted to join, the app locked up. I restarted the computer and had the same issue. My speaker works fine with Youtube, etc., so that's not the issue. It appears to be the microphone, as when I try to test it in the app, I get nothing. All drivers are up to date.

  I used Zoom's test meeting and it comes up with a dialog box saying Failed to detect your microphone and speakers. Please make sure your devices are properly connected.

  I have a Dell Inspiron 3521 and new drivers have been installed in the past few weeks, so that may be the source of the issue. I'm using the computer's microphone and speakers.

Need a _personal_ notification sound when someone enters a meeting

Before you answer "just turn on notifications when someone enters a meeting" that is NOT what I'm asking for. I don't own the meeting, I can't turn it on. Also, I don't want everyone to be notified. What I want is personal. I want to be able to enter... Show more

Before you answer "just turn on notifications when someone enters a meeting" that is NOT what I'm asking for. I don't own the meeting, I can't turn it on. Also, I don't want everyone to be notified.

 

What I want is personal. I want to be able to enter a meeting, and go about working on other things while I wait for people to arrive. The meeting window will be covered by other windows I'm working in, so what I want is a little bing so I know when someone else shows up.

 

Seems like a simple and obvious feature to me, and I'm surprised it isn't already implemented. Any ideas? Please, Zoom, can you add this simple feature?

I cannot hear a specific person while other members can. I can hear anyone else in the meeting.

I cannot hear a specific person in the meeting, but other members can. I can also hear anyone else. Has anyone experienced this? If so, how did you resolve it? TYIA.

Internet connectivity problems

My internet service wanted me to buy an upgraded package. Anyone know what speed internet (upload and download) is needed for a zoom meeting?

I am unable to access my Zoom recordings in the cloud or on my laptop via the documents folder. I have only some of the recordings, some are very old recordings I no longer need. the recordings I record even with a smart assistant are not accessible both in the documents folder on my laptop and in the cloud via recordings and meetings. I sent a request to zoom to correct this a week ago and have not received a response.

Zoom Audio not picking up the music intrumemts sound even after enabling the original sound for musiciation. I am having this issue for the last six months, hoping Zoom would iron this out. However, it has been working previously.

 

I have tried all the zoom settings. No luck.

I have also checked Mac, as to whether it is dropping the input. But, Mac is taking the instructions sound.

I have tried with a professional audio card, and it is confirmed Zoom is dropping the music instrument sound. 

 

Zoom Team: I would appreciate it if you could address this issue. 

 

Note: I am not a paid user currently, but my tuition provider has the paid version. 

 

Zoom version: version 6.4.0 (51205)

OS: Moc OS (Apple Zip) - 15.3.2 (24D81)

Unwelcome error message

Hi,
Over and over again a black box with white text appears, saying that my microphone hasn´t been detected for a while and I should check the connection. This is most disturbing and it is also wrong. (How) can I get rid of it ?
