I'm techno challenged and very basic.  I teach quilting and occasionally do zoom classes.  Previously, I used my laptop with document camera for one area, but then I had to join from my iPhone camera which was positioned over my sewing machine in another part of the room.  It worked fine.  Recently, I was doing a class, and when I went to sign in from the iPhone camera, I was knocked out of the meeting and couldn't get back in on my computer, and had to try to finish the class holding the iPhone in my hand while trying to sew.  I guess something has changed.  I did look up and follow the instructions in the settings - changing to allowing up to 3 devices, but it says of the same type.  I need a computer for my dox camera and then my phone for over the sewing machine at the same time.  I do not have a young person available to help me.

Can someone please help me - in plain, old people language??  LOL. It's probably something super simple that I don't understand.

I will be sharing a Zoom link via Outlook calendar.  Several parties will join the meeting.  It is important that for one of them their email address is not visible either in the calendar invite or during the meeting.  Does this happen automatically?  As owner and scheduler of the meeting, am I the only person who can see others' email addresses?

I hosted a meeting last week and I remember saying to myself, "Oh I need to record this" but then I looked at the top right corner and it had the red circle and said "Recording". Of course now I can't find the recording, in the cloud recordings or locally. I checked all over my Zoom account for it - deleted files, etc. No sign of it. Is there anywhere else this could be? I asked the other presenters but they don't have it. What happened?

I have a virtual class when classmates are signed on and enter the meeting we are all displayed in a grid formation.  The teacher is always top upper left, (on my screen) I am always situated next to him.  I never move down into the grid, switch rows, move further left or right etc.  other classmates seem to bounce around in their placement.  But I always occupy the position next to the teacher.  What are the dynamics going on here?  Do others see a similar placement on their screens?  Does what I see and static placement have to do with my settings?  Is the teacher controlling this?  

I have encountered about 2 black boxes appearing in my presentation during screen sharing since Jan 2022. One blackbox appeared near the top and the other at the bottom. My laptop uses Windows 10 and I have updated the latest software. I have done all the hacks recommended in the Zoom web page, including changing the NVIDIA settings, video settings and screen sharing settings. Yet, I still have the same problem with the black boxes. Please help to resolve this problem. Thank you!
