How do I remove this hint pop-up message on my shared application screens?

There is a kind of "hint" message that displays along the upper corner of the application window, which is impeding upon my ability to work.  the message displayed, "Drag to desktop 2 to share" is obstructing my view.

 

I have a 4-monitor screen set-up, and (while hosting) I'm sharing all windows from a particular application.  The application I've chose to share has multiple windows across all four monitor screens.   I understand to "Share all windows from an application" means I'm required to determine which one of my four monitors will be used to share any windows associated with this app.  I've chose to use "Desktop 2." 

 

Although Zoom doesn't allow me to share multiple monitor screens at once (which I would certainly prefer over sharing multiple app windows in a single screen, since squeezing my 4-monitor workflow into a single monitor is not conducive for displaying my productivity "live" so to speak), I do still appreciate that Zoom allows me some freedom in choosing-at-will the app windows I want to share.  With that said, I don't need the hint to remain displayed.  How do we hide it?  In my case, I'd like to simply prevent it from appearing at all, since I'm already aware of the functionality for sharing app windows.

 

I've provided a screenshot of the instance, here.  Thank you!

Help!  During our AA meetings we allow emojis in the reactions, and it's mildly distracting but fine.  Now they float up the screen, and the only answer is to turn off reactions.  This would piss people off.  

 

It appears that you can limit reactions in webinars.  I suspect Zoom did this on purpose to force people to upgrade.  But our meering ID numbers is years old, and I don't know if making it a webinar would look different. 

 

My concern is unmuting.  Once the meeting is going, we allow people to unmute themselves.  Is that true if we upgrade to webinar?  Can we retain our meeting ID number?  

 

Help PLEASE!

My friend tried with their work account and it is doing the same thing.  Only saves as 640x360.

 

This used to be much higher resolution.  What happened?

Hi!

 

I have an opportunity to try a older USB headset device, the Plantronics Blackwire C720-M. For example, in meetings at Zoom.

 

I use a laptop with Windows 10.

 

In the article ”Supported USB HID devices for the Zoom desktop client”, under Poly, there is a list of supported HID devices made by Poly where, among others, the “Blackwire 7225” is listed.

The Plantronics Blackwire C720-M, which is from 2013, when the company was named Plantronics & Polycom, is not listed.

 

On the other hand, in the article, under “Limitations”, it also says: “Supported USB audio devices on Windows are not limited to this list. Generally, the Zoom desktop client on Windows supports buttons for devices made by these manufacturers: AVer, Crestron, Jabra, Logitech, Plantronics, Polycom, Shure, Yamaha, and Yealink.”.

 

Taking the above into account (for example the mentioning under “Limitations” of both Plantronics and Polycom) it makes me a bit uncertain when it comes to the Plantronics Blackwire C720-M, and older advice in general.

 

Two questions:

 

  1. Does this list, or list in general regarding supported HID devices, have a limit of age under which devices older than a certain year of manufacture will not be included (with specific models listed in particular)? If so, what is that limit (in years)?

  2. Regarding the Blackwire C720-M headset, used with Windows 10: Is there any information if it will have, more or less limited, support at Zoom?

 

Kind regards

Hello

Any time I create an event in google calendar using the zoom add-on to add a zoom meeting 

the attendees will get the initial invitation and then immediately an updated invitation. 

 

It says:

This event has been updated
Changed: conferencing, description

 

Also when I create events for someone else's calendar the invitation comes from them the update comes from me

 

Is there a way to stop the updated invitation from being sent? I would like to avoid generating duplicate emails for one event.

 

None of these are practical as a long-term solution:

If I create the event in zoom it does not happen

If I create the event first in google calendar with the zoom meeting and then separately add participants it does not happen( this does not work  when creating the event on another's calendar)

No camera video while screensharing on recording - bug?

Hi,

 

I ran into the following problem yesterday.

 

Despite having the options toggled (Settings -> Recording -> (x) Record video during screen sharing -> (x) Place video next to the shared screen in the recording), my recordings did not have the camera view.

 

Trying to understand what happened, I have found that Zoom adds the camera view to recording only under certain conditions:

If I select RECORD, then SHARE, then Screen 1 (Entire Screen), it does not add the camera view on the recordings.

If I select RECORD, then SHARE, then Powerpoint (Application windows), it does add the camera view on the recordings.

I am able to reproduce this behaviour consistently.

 

Thus it appears that the reason why the camera view is missing on the recordings from yesterday was because I shared my entire screen and not the Powerpoint application. 

Why is this the case? The inconsistency of this behaviour does not make any sense to me.

Unless I have missed something and the issue is on my side, I would advise to fix this inconsistent behaviour because this appears to be a problem on Zoom's software side.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read my post

How to Extend Meeting Time on Zoom Basic Plus

I recently downgraded my Zoom plan from Zoom Pro to Zoom Basic Plus and had a frustrating experience when my meeting abruptly ended after 40 minutes. I couldn't find any clear instructions on Zoom’s website, there was no way to contact support, and I couldn't locate any helpful posts on the topic. Today, while hosting a meeting, I figured out how to extend the meeting time on my own and would like to share the method.

 

1. There is a common misconception that the extension button appears as soon as the meeting starts. This is incorrect. In my case, the button only became active about 20 minutes into the meeting.
2. The extension button appears at the top right corner of the Zoom meeting window. It is located just to the left of the buttons used to maximize or close the window.
3. The extension button is not visible unless you move your mouse to that location.


I hope this information is helpful to other Zoom Basic Plus users. For reference, I am using Microsoft Windows on a desktop computer.

Basic plus plan extensions

on the basic plus plan, can you use 2 extensions in the same meeting
 
For example, if you want a same meeting to go 100 minutes, 40 minutes +  40 min extension + another 40 min extension can be used?

We have the automated translated captions add-on and it works pretty well.  Even on the recording, you can choose from a long list of languages for translation of the recording.  Now I'd like to grab transcripts of a few different languages but I only can see the original language (Spanish).  If I watch the recording, I can see the transcript being played in any language along with the recording, but how can I download the transcript in a language other than the original?
