Just curious, is there a way to only share computer audio to a breakout room, or do I have to share screen and audio if there's something I want participants to hear?Don't really have a use case scenario, more for documentation purposes?Thanks! Show more

When trying to launch a zoom meeting, I am getting the error "Unable to launch video meeting. When possible, please restart your computer and try again." 

 

This started happening within the last week. I am using a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 with Windows 11 and the latest version of zoom. 

 

I've tried restarting, uninstalling/reinstalling with clean zoom, downgrading to a previous version, and made sure all the permissions are correct, but the error has persisted. Any advice is welcome.

How to change the layout of meeting controls toolbar

After a recent software update, I noticed the Record button on the bottom of the meeting window was no longer present, and was instead relocated into the "..." portion of the control bar. It (and others) were replaced by several buttons for features I never use. Having the record button in plain sight is very helpful to remind me to record the session. I spent over an hour trying to find a way to rectify this, but to no avail. Is there a way to reconfigure the layout of these buttons? It's a little clunky to have controls for unused functions prominently visible while common controls are hidden in a submenu.

I'm an Admin of a Pro account.

I have tried following the instructions in the Designate an Alternative Host page https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0067027 but there is no option for adding an alternative host at the bottom of the (old version) Advanced Options or (new version) More Options > Advanced, it just ends with the option for specific country restrictions.

 

In typing this up I've found it does work in Win/Chrome browser view, so I do have the appropriate permissions/account settings, but I'm not able to use the Windows app to do this.

Admin Account not recording to the cloud for Admin view

I have confirmed that I have a team member set up as an Admin Zoom Account and her calls are recording in her account, but it's not uploading to the cloud account for admin to be able to review for QA purposes. I have confirmed the Account settings are set to "Record to Cloud", she has confirmed that she sees the "Record" icon when meetings are starting, and I have confirmed her Calendly meetings are scheduling to her Zoom account. What am I missing that could be the reason for her meetings not recording to the cloud? I am able to see everyone else's cloud recordings on our team, but hers.

Zoom plugin not defaulting to calendar owner for delegate

I have a user who is delegate for 3 people. They have full Outlook calendar delegate status for all 3 and Zoom delegate status as well. The user is running on a Mac with the latest OS (14.5) and latest Outlook (16.86.3) installed as well as the lates... Show more

I have a user who is delegate for 3 people.  They have full Outlook calendar delegate status for all 3 and Zoom delegate status as well.  The user is running on a Mac with the latest OS (14.5)  and latest Outlook (16.86.3) installed as well as the latest Zoom client (6.1.1).  Two of the people they are a delegate for also use Macs.  The third person is using a Windows 11 computer.  

 

When the delegate creates a Zoom meeting on the calendar of either of the Mac users the meeting is created in the calendar owner's zoom account and shows up in their list of meetings.    For example "Mac user is inviting you to a meeting", not "Delegate is inviting you..."

 

When the delegate creates a Zoom meeting on the calendar of the Windows user it shows up as being created by the delegate, not the calendar owner.  If they click on Settings before they create the meeting and choose the PC user it works the same way as the Mac users. 

 

We've tried switching between "old" and "new" Outlook but get the same results.  Is there a change we can make so that Zoom meetings created on the PC users calendar by their delegate are created in their account without the additional steps of opening settings each time and selecting that user first?

I recorded a Zoom meeting, but when the prompt came "where do you want to save the converted file?" I clicked on the wrong location. The file could not be saved there. But I couldn't get a chance to pick something else. As far as I can tell, the recording vanished. Is it really gone? Is there any way I can get it back?

 

To be clear, I did not delete the file, and it is not in my recycle bin. I simply did not say where I wanted it saved.

Resolved! Upcoming Meeting Reminder Notification

I used to receive desktop notices, but recently they stopped showing up.  I've tried all the recommendations in the help and the feature is turned on in the settings.

 

Any suggestions?

I missed a meeting because I could not locate one of my many unscheduled recurring meeting.  I don't work well with calendars, I prefer my paper planner.  Anything that contributes to my anxiety must go.  I have been with Zoom for many years and now that I am being forced to have to see a stupid giant page that says add to calendar, and no longer see my big meeting names, I am forced to move on to a better platform.  I can't see a tiny link that says recurring meetings and it should be big because it's the most important.  The calendar feature should just be a clickable option.  This should not be a main userface, the meetings list should.  The calendar could have been a simple opt in clickable option for those who use calendars.  Please get rid of this and put the old friendly user face desktop back.  I don't like it.
