Is there a way to get some webinar-like results using the most economical meeting plan?

We are an HOA association and we are contemplating using Zoom Meetings for our Trustee meetings in a way that the residents can observe and remain muted.

Ideally, I would like two invitation links… one that forces muting for the residents and one for the Trustees that does not.   However, it looks like a meeting can be setup in a way that everyone or noone get the extra permission-to-unmute question popup upon entering the meeting.  Am I interpreting that correctly?     

 I would like that the Trustee host doesn't have to specifically unmute the other trustees.    I would also like that the audience members joining the meetings do not distract from the meeting. 

Oh, and the Trustees will sometimes be in a conference room.  We can dedicate one laptop to the "room".   

p.s. newbie… have only used Zoom as an attendee.

This is for the Zoom 5.13.11 app on Windows 10 Enterprise, when using the "Schedule Meeting" feature.

I need to add a long list of invitee emails. Through trial and error I was able to figure out I could only enter 1 bare email address at a time, then hit space to convert it into an object, limited to no more than 64 characters per email address. There is no pop-up suggestion to guide the user on adding even the first email address, and I did not find any guidance in the docs nor here (so far).

The field does not accept email standard list entries like "User Name <email address>", nor does it accept a comma-separated recipient list that might be copied from the recipients of an email application, which would seem like a sensible option.

The one workaround I found was that I could paste a list of semi-colon-separated email addresses so long as no single pasted block exceeded 64 characters. Thankfully in vim I can quickly convert commas to semi-colons and break up the list into lines shorter than 64 characters total. I'm lucky to know how to do this, and patient enough to figure out what should be documented.

How do I suggest a feature for this field that would support pasting a standard list of email addresses copied from, say, Gmail or Outlook? The parsing should be easy enough to do with either commas or semi-colons, and would make inviting a longer list of users less tedious. Almost any SDK offers code for handling such input.

Yes, I know the workaround is to simply add the meeting info to a calendar invite, but you have added this field to your "Schedule Meeting" feature, and you want to continue to position Zoom as an enterprise-ready product, so this field needs to step up to that aspiration.

Further, you need at least a floating pop-up to suggest how to add email addresses, plus add the info to your "Schedule Meeting" docs and videos, add a ? icon to the Schedule Meeting page, and maybe join the rest of the desktop-app world and enable capturing the F1 key to open help (or whatever equivalent is default in MacOS).

Please consider these suggestions. Thank you.

Hello,
I’ve recently noticed that Zoom has been running much slower than usual.
Could you please help identify the possible causes and suggest any ways to resolve this issue?

One recent change on my end is that I switched from an annual subscription to a monthly subscription this October.
I would appreciate it if you could also check whether this change might have affected the performance.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
