Essentially, I am not able to screen share my PowerPoint slides in full screen for my audience while seeing my notes for myself on a single screen Windows 11 laptop while using Presenter View.

 

In the past, sharing only the full screen slides would work and then you could personally switch to your notes without any problem by following these Zoom instructions for "Single-monitor setup with slide show in full screen". Video proof that this tricked used to work: https://youtu.be/yu7FIk7FFbc

 

Now I get the following message when switching from the fullscreen notes to : 

 

"Your screen sharing is paused during powerpoint presenter viewand people see my Presenter View with notes and tools instead of the fullscreen, or the slide they see freezes.

 

Single monitor, Windows 11. I have Zoom Workplace Version: 6.2.3 (47507)

 

When sharing the PPT first, then going into slide show, and then going to Presenter View: https://imgur.com/PEdXFNa

Zoom has become a cluster #### of functionality. It's really causing us a lot of problems with integrations, clarity on how our organisation communicates and manages information sharing. At this point in time, the only reason we're still using Zoom is the screen share resolution and annotation. Is there a way to get rid of the complexity of meeting settings, AI companion, whiteboard, team chats, etc. Our typical issues include, but are not limited to:

  • Zoom see's itself as the primary calendar so creating and then moving a meeting in Google Calendar or Spark ends up causing sync issues.
  • Waiting rooms suck
  • Having to reassign meetings if the host leaves is annoying and often results in the host accidentally ending the meeting for all
  • Continuous issues with getting logged out between devices (e.g. using desktop Zoom, but then receiving a normal voice call on a phone with Zoom, results in the desktop app being logged out)
  • Many clients have difficulty getting into a Zoom call, but we don't have the same issue with Google Meet or Teams
  • Rescheduling a Zoom meeting nearly always doesn't work cleanly and results in issues with Zoom links or differences in times and notifications being out of sync
  • I want to disable chats and channels so discussion remains in our other tools for those purposes

I just want video calls, I do not want Zoom to organise a schedule or be more of a task management or communication platform, as it's not good at it. It creates duplication and destroys our continuity of workflow

Zoom recording has super low pitch and speed of both speakers: help!

hi! This is the second time that it happens: we record the podcast with the usual mics and settings, normal speed etc and still the episode plays my voice as if it were a ghost's. So slow, un-natural and low pitch. I sound like a man.

I tried to play it a bit faster but then I sound like Mickey Mouse with a low voice. I tried to change it with Garage Band and no luck. I am using an iMac.

 

Is there any reason why Zoom does that?

I've been using it since 2018 every single day and we have not changed any settings. I am starting to think I need to move away from this platform as it's so unreliable.

 

Thanks!

I cannot see the screen shared by someone else

I just installed zoom on a new windows laptop. I now cannot see the shared screen from someone else. (I do know how to share screens. This is not the problem. I have been using Zoom since it started.) Any thoughts on what is wrong?

I have had  a personal Zoom account for more than three years and lately when I attempt to join a meeting or start meetings that I have scheduled I get the following message: "You must update to the latest version of Zoom to join this meeting. Contact your IT admin to update." I don't have an IT admin, so I attempted to do the update myself. When I scroll to the Downloads section on the bottom of the Zoom home screen and click to download the latest version, I am asked to sign in to my account. When I attempt to sign in to my account, I get the following message: "Your app version needs to be 5.12.2 or higher to sign in. Please contact your IT team to update your version of Zoom." So I can't join or run meetings unless I update the Zoom version, and I can't sign in to update the Zoom version unless I am on a later version. So I am stuck.

 

I did see some community entries here that suggested uninstalling and reinstalling Zoom. That sounds like a rather unprofessional option to updating to a newer version of the app. If that is indeed what I must do, then is there an option to save all my account settings, such as personal meeting ID and host code, as well as all the repeating meetings that I have scheduled? Or will I need to manually start over from scratch?

 

Please advise.

Thanks!

As a host, how to disable participants' use of filters?

I use Zoom to teach. My students know how to turn filters on. It's super distracting for them. How can I disable the use of their filters? Alternatively, how can their parents disable the use of Zoom filters?

Thank you.

Not a technical question. Boss wants the shared Zoom account that everyone has access to.

Hi All:

 

  Goes against everything but...  The boss wants an "ever green account" in Zoom where people have access to schedule meetings.  We had turn over/downsides.  I know I can manage turnover in the admin portal but that is not what is wanted.  All users already have licenses.  Maybe there is a shared calendar/meeting scheduler that I don't know.  

 

  Have others run into this want or provided such unique setups?

 

TIA
