With dual monitor, sharing PPT slides in Presentation View, how do you see Gallery View of Students?

I'm trying to learn how to use dual monitors and share the Presentation View of PPT slides, which allows me to see the notes for each slide while sharing the other view without the notes. The problem is- I can't see the gallery view any more of the attendees, so if I want to interact with a specific student, I have no idea who is out there? 

Do I have to share the 'normal view' of PPT slides to be able to see the Gallery View of participants?

 

Also, a secondary issue, when I try to share the 'normal view' of PPT slides, sometimes the screen share 'auto-pauses'.  When I send students to 'Breakout Rooms' for a group task, usually, the previous screen share process has stopped, and it has to be restarted. The restarting process can throw fragments of screens around on the desktop views of the students, which is less than desirable.

 

Any thoughts on how to address this? Getting pretty frustrated here.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Unauthorised Webinar Invites and Lack of Unsubscribe Option

I am writing to express my frustration regarding unauthorised webinar invitations I have been receiving.

  1. Unsolicited Invitations: I am being invited to webinars and meetings I did not sign up for. These invitations come from users who have added my email address without my consent.
  2. No Unsubscribe Option: The invitations lack an unsubscribe link, preventing me from removing myself from their mailing list. This raises privacy concerns and violates standard data protection practices.

Steps I have already taken:

  • Verified that I did not sign up for these webinars.
  • Attempted to find an unsubscribe or opt-out option but found none.

What I need to happen immediately:

  • Remove me from this particular user's invitation list to ensure I no longer receive further communications from them.
  • Implement measures to prevent my email address from being added to any Zoom webinars, meetings, or invitations in the future without my explicit permission.

I have not included any personal or identifiable information in line with your community guidelines. I trust that Zoom will take privacy concerns seriously and address this issue promptly.

The only instructions I see to enable dual monitor mode is to go to my profile, click on settings/general.  Then check to box to enable dual monitor mode.  For the life of me, I can not find that option to check.

 

I have Zoom meetings with an office colleague and we share screens all the time.  When she shares her screen, out videos are shown at the top of the screen she is sharing - instead of on my second monitor.  I want to see our videos on one monitor and the shared screen on the other.

Zoom Meeting Spam

I frequently get meeting sign-up spam for both GoToWebinar and Zoom. The spam comes in saying that I've signed up for a meeting I've never heard of and have never signed up for. GoToWebinar has a link in their messages that says "Report Spam" which allows me to tell them the message is spam that I never signed up for. There is no such option in a Zoom message. It strikes me that Zoom should have a similar message in order to, if nothing else, track how the service is being (mis)used. My only choice is to either simply delete the message or cancel my registration for the meeting if I care to click through that link and suffer through another Zoom message saying the registration has been canceled. Please add a Report Spam option to your registration notices so, if nothing else, you can get an idea how your system is being misused. Thank you.

Filing complaint against Zoom client for "Zoom spam"

Hi,

I would like to file a complaint against a driving school that got a hold of my email address and keeps sending me unsolicited invitations to their advertising webinars which claim that I registered for their webinar. I have asked them to remove me from their webinar list, and they have not. This is deeply annoying, and I would guess they are doing it to other people. Is there any way to report someone for "zoom spam"?

I am a basic/free user so do not have access to customer support or web tickets.

Hello, 

I have a question about sharing a particular screen using hotkeys.

I use a stream deck in my Zoom meetings, and often, I use the notes section on my external iPad to draw something out for the other person on the call.

Using the stream deck, I can use the 'share screen' function (as a hotkey), but then I have to manually select (with my mouse) the 'advanced share' function to use my iPad notes section for the screen share.

Can I bypass the manual aspect to automatically share the 'advanced share screen'?

I have contacted Stream Deck support, and they have directed me to Zoom.

If there is a hotkey function on Zoom, I can get the streamdeck to use it.

I really appreciate any help you can provide. 

James

We receive many zoom meeting invites. One of our conference rooms a teams room and sometimes, we would like to have the meeting in that room. I have searched for how to add the teams room to the invite but it appears only the host can do that. We tried to forward the invite to the teams room but it just started a team meeting, not a zoom meeting. 

 

So, can an attendee add a teams room to a meeting and have the meeting show up in teams room as ZOOM?

Audio--Can't Hear Musical Instruments Anymore

Hello--I can no longer hear musical instruments on Zoom. The musician will have original sound for musicians turned on and others in the Zoom can hear them, but I can hear only voice, not the instrument.  I turned background noise to low in audio settings, but that didn't help. This problem cropped up a couple of months ago--I used to be able to hear them, but can't now.  However, I can hear instruments on other meeting apps, so I don't think this is a Windows issue and think it's a Zoom issue. Will appreciate any suggestions!  Thanks--

I have a problem that the Zoom suddenly changes to widescreen since the last two weeks.

 

Several other users, including myself, are experiencing the same issue.

 

Temporarily, to solve the problem, uncheck the HD option in the video settings to restore the original ratio, but suddenly this happens again.

 

The same problem has been reported previously.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Zoom/comments/hwgqht/zoom_suddenly_became_widescreen_cant_change_back/

 

Regarding this issue, I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to solve it.

Thanks.

Resolved! What happened to the Meetings tab in the Zoom Workspace upgrade?

Earlier this week Zoom upgraded my Windows 11 app to the Zoom Workspace app, then updated the upgrade. Currently running Version: 6.0.3 (37634).

 

Before all this, there was a tab or something I could use to see my upcoming meetings. I could go to a scheduled meeting, make a copy of the invitation, and distribute it. How do I do that now? I don't see a Meetings tab. I see a Calendar, but that links to my Google Calendar which shows all my appointments, most of which are not Zoom meetings.

 

Not ideal, but OK, I guess I can scroll until I find the meeting, and when I do that and open it up, there's an invitation there, but it doesn't include THE DATE AND TIME. You have to click on the hamburger menu and choose Copy Invite to get this info in the way that it took about 3 clicks to get it last week.

 

Is there still a way to see my upcoming meetings and easily copy the invite, or what am I missing?
