.conf file instead of video recording

Hi!  I recorded a Zoom meeting to my computer the day that the iCloud recording weren't working due to the AWS outage.  I did not receive an mp4 recording.  I received the audio and a .conf file.  How do I get the video?  Thanks so much!

I am using screenshare with "as-background" - so basically sharing a screen and putting myself from my webcam feed in front of it. I have recorder over a hundred videos with this without issues. Now since 3 days suddenly my webcam feed always gets lost during conversion and I am left with only the shared screen and the voice. I have not changed any settings. "Record video during screen sharing" is obviously enabled in the settings. Newest version of zoom. This is super frustrating. Sometimes it still works fine but only 1 out of 5 times.

Dear Zoom Team,

First of all, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the official Stream Deck plugin. It has significantly improved the way I interact with Zoom during meetings and webinars. The integration is smooth, intuitive, and adds real value to hosts and participants alike.

As a frequent host and co-host, I would like to suggest a few features that could further enhance the plugin’s functionality and usability:


🔊 Audio Control Enhancements

  • It would be extremely helpful to have the ability to mute the three Zoom audio sliders in the Windows Volume Mixer directly via Stream Deck.
  • Even better would be the option to set each slider to a specific percentage level, allowing for more granular control over Zoom’s audio output.

👥 Host/Co-Host Controls

  1. Pre-Meeting Mute Setup
    A function that allows the host to automatically mute all participants before the meeting starts, with the option to disable self-unmute.

  2. Reverse Functionality
    The ability to re-enable self-unmute for participants and send a general “Request to Unmute” to everyone.

  3. Smart Hand & Mic Control
    When a participant raises their hand and is granted microphone access, a Stream Deck button that:

    • Automatically lowers their hand
    • Mutes their microphone after their response
      (Logic: Hand is raised + Mic is unmuted → One-click action to reset both)
  4. Speaker View Window Management
    A button to move the speaker view window to a second monitor and maximize it, with the ability to return it to the main screen when needed.

  5. Focus on Active Speaker
    A button to spotlight the current speaker for all participants with one click.

  6. Toggle Participant List
    A simple toggle to show/hide the participant list via Stream Deck


    These points are of concern to me based on my years of live experience, which is why I acquired the Stream Deck. Unfortunately, for a long time, reliable control was not possible due to a lack of API access. Essential prerequisites always had to be met first. Even then, only workarounds were possible, which were never entirely effective. I am aware of and very grateful for the fact that the main program is constantly being improved. I am very much looking forward to seeing how the Stream Deck plugin will now also become an increasingly valuable assistant.

    Thank you again for the excellent work done so far.

    Best regards.

Resolved! MacOS Original Sound for Musicians still suppressing audio

I am using an M4 macbook pro running Tahoe (also happens on previous versions). I am in a meeting that primarily has a speaker at a podium (where the mic is), but we also have instruments. Everything sound fine at the podium, but when music is happening, even though the microphone picks it up perfectly (microphone is directly recorded, and recorded on the mac itself to verify), zoom intermittently (more often than not) suppresses the music as well.  This goes against what the settings suggest, which is that audio suppression should be 100% disabled. I have tried every option.  Windows zoom has more options and can completely disable the noise suppression, but the mac version doesn't seem to have this option. This is a huge problem, please make the app do what it says it does and is supposed to do when using this mode. That's why we choose it, to have unprocessed audio. 

Before people start offering useless suggestions, I am an audio engineer and a software engineer. I know how to troubleshoot my own computer and software and have gone through every step. please don't suggest something that could easily be googled. This is a zoom software code issue, not a software setting issue, hardware issue, or microphone issue. Suggestions like "make your music louder" is not helpful.

We are wanting to move to GPO to manage the update/config of Zoom Meeting going forward and right now we use SCCM and Patch My PC. After loading the latest ADMX files and configuring the GPO everything seems to work as expected except that when the auto update fires it prompts for admin rights which our users do not have. Cancelling the update allows you to access the client and the rest of the changes work as expected. Our clients are Windows 10 and 11 and the Zoom build is 3.6.5X.

 

Our goal is to have the clients auto-update without the need for admin rights. Do we need to use a different build, do we have some sort of registry problem/conflict, is this a bug, or did I miss something entirely?

So super weird issue that only has zoom as the common thread.

 

Issue: After being in a Zoom meeting for 20-30 minutes, the user's keyboard stops working. This is while in the zoom call and after leaving it. This is an ongoing issue and the user has updated zoom 3 times since the issue occurred and it's still present. User is completely up to date with all OS, app, and driver updates.

 

What I've tried:

• Restarting the computer

• Updating Windows 10

• Upgrading to Windows 11

• Updating all available drivers

• Updating Zoom

• Uninstalling/Reinstalling Zoom

• Removing and re-adding keyboard drivers

• Complete wipe of Windows and all personal information

• Assigning a brand new laptop

• Using an external keyboard

 

Whenever it does go away, regardless of what I do, it comes back once the user joins a Zoom meeting. No idea where to go next.

Viewing Auslan Interpreters in recording whilst screen sharing

Hello all

We are running a series of meetings that are being recorded TO THE CLOUD. We want these recordings to have the speaker and their slides/share screen but also have the Auslan interpreters visible at all times. To do this, we

 

1. Spotlighted the speaker & Auslan interpreter

2. Hit record to the cloud (so it uploads to Vimeo automatically

 

The recording has the Auslan interpreter viewable at all times EXCEPT when we screen share. During these times there is only the speaker in a small corner box. Ideally there are TWO "speakers" viewable, the actual speaker making noise, and the interpreter who is not. Again, both are spotlighted.

 

I'm not sure if it's a simple solution of changing my "speaker view when sharing" to have more than one person viewable, or if we need to record to the computer to allow more recording options. I would prefer not to have a separate Auslan interpreter link that creates its own recording. 

 

If we need to change the "speaker view when sharing" to allow more than one person to be viewed, will I need to ensure that the speakers who are sharing their screen to also allow more than one speaker to be viewable (not ideal)? 

 

many thanks

Local recording conversion failed

Hi everyone,I’m trying to convert my local recording files (double_click_to_convert_01.zoom, double_click_to_convert_02.zoom) on my Mac, but the conversion keeps failing with the message:“The application zoom.us can’t open this type of file.”I’ve alr... Show more

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to convert my local recording files (double_click_to_convert_01.zoom, double_click_to_convert_02.zoom) on my Mac, but the conversion keeps failing with the message:

“The application zoom.us can’t open this type of file.”

I’ve already confirmed the following:

  • The .zoom files exist and are around 2GB, so the data seems intact.

  • I was a co-host in the meeting, so I had local recording permission.

  • The files are stored under /Users/[username]/Documents/Zoom/... as usual.

Any official clarification or workaround from Zoom staff would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

I've been using Zoom consistently a few days per week for classes for the past 3 years. I used an iPhone 15 pro Max that's up to date but then switched to an android Z Fold 7 a month ago. 

The screen is completely rearranged with only a mic button in the center of the screen. No chat. No other buttons at all. I've done every check I can think if but I can not use any functions for classes bc there is nothing on the screen as far as controls. 

I switched back to the 15 pro Max to see if it was the phone, and yes, the iPhones Zoom screen is normal looking but every time I press the chat button on it, it completely cuts off the zoom and recycles logging back in. Everytime I press chat. So I'm hindered from using it also. 

This is super weird. 

I truly want someone to explain how to fix this issue. With both phones but particularly with the Z Fold 7 bc that's my main phone used for classes. 

Everything for zoom works fine on my MacBook. 

This is perplexing. 

Please help. 

Thanks.
