Made no changes to my Mac or app.  Suddenly for no apparent reason, can no longer share computer audio in meetings.  I do this to share background music.     I've uninstalled, and reinstalled, and ensured that screen recording, and nothing.    Normal audio is fine.   In fact, If I play music and "share computer audio", the music stops.  If I "stop sharing" then my music can be heard again in my speakers only.         Very frustrating, and have yet to find a solution.

I continue having a strange problem where zoom tells me the password is wrong when trying to join a meeting. The password is just 1 character long (not very secure, I know, but not my choice, and  it's a meeting open to the general public in my area anyways), so I'm not typing it in wrong. Additionally, if I open the meeting in the web browser (same computer, keyboard, etc) I can join, but only in the browswer, If I click to open the Zoom Client it doesn't work. Using the same account on my phone works too.

Interestingly, in the meeting history drop down, the meeting will initially show up as usual (ie  with the name "Weekly Information Meeting"). Then after choosing it, inputting the correct password, and being told the password is wrong, the name changes on the history drop down to the generic "Zoom Meeting".

 

I've tried the following:

-Restarting computer

-Logging out of zoom

-Clearing the meeting history

-Checking for updates (there were none)

-Having the meeting host check for updates (again, there were none)

-Clicking "don't connect to audio" (a suggestion from another user)

-Starting my own meeting, closing it, and trying again (another suggestion from others)

 

This seems to be related to the Client itself. Interestingly, it happens most often after I update Zoom. Also, after a time, maybe an hour, often I can connect successfully with all the same credentials.


Any thoughts?

Duplicate Meetings in Zoom App & Outlook Calendar

I've read through the previous posts on this and do not see a resolution.  When I create a zoom meeting, it creates 2 of the same meeting and then puts 2 outlook invites into my calendar.  How do I get rid of the duplication?

Ever since there was the forced new update late last week, there seems to be a few major issues with the new "Zoom Workplace" that's really causing delays and issues in collaboration.

 

FIRST ISSUE - FREEZING EVERY CALL START

 

For every call I now try to join in on - whether it's my call or someone elses - it now freezes when I try to join.

  • It gives me a time/waiting icon.
  • No buttons work.
  • If I try to click anything, the whole screen goes white and locks up.
  • If I click again, it gives me the failure drop screen where I click either "wait" or "close program".
  • It usually takes 2 to 5 minutes for this to resolve, or I have to restart it all.

I have to now plan extra time for all calls to make sure I can sit and struggle with this for a few minutes so I show up on time to the Zoom meeting. This is VERY INCONVENIENT.

 

SECOND ISSUE - DEVICE DETECTION NOT WORKING

 

Zoom can no longer detect my advanced plugged in podcast/call mic. It shows in my computer settings, so it's not a personal computer issues, but it won't show in the new Zoom Meeting room.

 

I've restarted the whole computer and it still won't connect. I'm forced to used my subpar and hard to hear computer mic which is both horrible for client calls and my podcast interviews.

 

Can some one address this bug in the new launched version?

Zoom is fully functional on my 2021 Macbook Air, but, when I connect to the Dell S2419H monitor, I have no microphone audio: class participants cannot hear me. I've reloaded Zoom, plugged and unplugged, rebooted, retested, and howled at the moon. Apple tech support couldn't resolve it, and my account doesn't qualify for Zoom tech support. Any suggestions anyone?

Hi dear community

I run Zoom classes with multiple participants.

In every class there is a part where I spotlight myself with another participant, so everybody can see only the two of us.

Unfortunately, on the recordings it looks different: Instead of seeing the 2 spotlighted speakers, which is the desired outcome for me, we see only the active speaker at any given moment.

Can this be configured?

Thanks

Admitting Participants to Zoom Meeting without a passcode

I scheduled an informational zoom meeting and found out that some people did not receive the passcode, they only received the link.  Is there a way to disable the passcode and let them in via the waiting room?

When I move a Zoom meeting in the Outlook Desktop app It does not update on the Zoom website. Even though the dates are not the same is the meeting invite code the same? I'm not sure if I need to change the date on the Zoom website, download the iCalendar file and resend it and cancel the previous one?

Since I've done a Zoom update, the other participants can't hear me anymore when I don't use my headphones. I have checked that is is set on "Macbook Air microphones", did the audio test, which worked and I have checked in System Settings that Zoom is allowed in "Privacy and Security".
