"Sign in to Join this Webinar" when I'm already signed in

I was unable to join a meeting today despite entering the meeting ID and passcode from my own account page, getting a "Sign in to join this webinar" message every time I hit the join button.  

 

I have a Chromebook and use Google chrome as my browser. This is the first time I have ever encountered this issue despite using Zoom links from the same company twice a week, every week on the same device. 

 

I then noticed that despite having the "stay signed in" box ticked on my sign-in page, Zoom never keeps me signed in, so I was stuck in a loop of always getting the same message. The host sent me a direct link and I had the same issue:

 

"The host requires authentication on the commercial Zoom platform to join this meeting. Please sign in with a commercial Zoom account to join."  Previously, hitting the sign in hyperlink on this same message automatically signed me in and took me to the meetings no problem.  What's changed? Is there anything I can do in settings to stay signed in. 

 

I now need to use the phone app to access meetings, but this is a temporary measure not usually allowed at work.

😡 Zoom, Why is Your Mac App a Nightmare?

I click the meeting link, expecting to join smoothly. Instead… nothing. The Zoom app opens, but every option is blacked out. I try to quit—nothing happens. I attempt to force quit—no luck. I even try to uninstall it—impossible. 😨

Zoom Just Made Me Miss My Meeting!

For the past year, Zoom has been a disaster on my MacBook. The app often refuses to launch properly, and worse, it gets stuck in a limbo where I can't quit, force quit, or even uninstall it. The only fix? Restarting my Mac in Safe Mode to prevent Zoom from auto-launching so I can uninstall it, and reinstall.

I’ve uninstalling and reinstalling countless times to fix issues. But now, I can’t even uninstall it! As a business professional, I don’t have time to troubleshoot software every single time I need to join a call.

🚨 Enough is enough. I'm switching to Google Meet. 🚨

I need to be able to join a meeting within minutes, not spend 10+ minutes battling a broken app. Searching Mac forums for solutions—only to find hundreds of other frustrated users experiencing the same issue for years—makes me wonder: Why should I keep dealing with this?

Until Zoom fixes this, I’ll be pushing my company toward Google Meet. Maybe one day, Zoom will release a truly Mac-friendly app that meets the same standards as software in the Mac App Store.

Has anyone else had to jump through hoops just to get Zoom working?

Zoom Meeting Not Displaying Properly on WordPress Site

Hi everyone,

 

I'm trying to embed a Zoom meeting on my WordPress site using the Zoom Meeting Embed plugin, but it's not displaying properly. Every time I try to load the meeting, I get the following error:

 

"Error: Unable to display Zoom meeting. Please check your settings and try again."

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

 

  • Installed and configured the Zoom Meeting Embed plugin properly.
  • Verified my Zoom API Key and Secret in the plugin settings.
  • Cleared cache and tested in different browsers.
  • Checked for conflicts with other plugins by disabling them one by one.
  • Updated both WordPress and the Zoom plugin to the latest versions.

Has anyone faced a similar issue? Are there any specific settings or alternative methods to embed a Zoom meeting in WordPress?

Would appreciate any insights!

Thanks in advance.

(P.S. Here’s a link to my site where the issue occurs: https://solarpanelpricepakistan.com/

For some reason, meetings that I've record are not providing speaker attribution in the resulting transcript.
Any ideas?  I looked through previous recorded meetings and speaker attribution is there.  I don't know if this is a result of the recent client updates or what.  
I looked through various settings and I don't see anything that would toggle speaker attribution on/off.

I am currently using the desktop client Zoom Workplace, v6.1.11 (45505)

Is it possibly related to who the meeting organizer is?  E.g., it's not me, but I was granted authorization to record the meeting?

Dual Screen How to stop 'Zoom' Window Switching Monitors During Screen Share

I have an issue with a dual monitor setup, where when I share the entire desktop the zoom window jumps and takes over the other monitor, going on top of all the media controls we use, even with the zoom setting to share zoom windows selected.

Here is a rough breakdown of the setup we're using to give a better context:

Monitor 1, which is for the operator/ producer:
Zoom Meeting Window to view all participants
VLC Playlist Controls

Monitor 2, which is at the front of the room has:
Zoom, for showing remote participants as and when needed
VLC Media Window

As the screen share isn't needed the whole time, it is only needed when sharing media through VLC we can't leave the screen share running constantly.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Resolved! Local Recordings - "double_click_to_convert_01"

Usually the immediate after session, automatic recording conversion process creates three files: 1) "recording.conf" file type CONF; 2) "audio 1234567890" file type MPEG-4 Audio; and, 3) "video 1234567890" file type MP4.  But now the after session, automatic recording conversion process is creating es three files, like: 1) "zoomver.tag" file type TAG; 2) "double_click_to_convert_01" file type Zoom Recording File; and, 3) "double_click_to_convert_02" file type Zoom Recording File.  When I double click on the files the resulting conversion process creates TMP files, like: audio 1234567890.m4a.tmp and video 1234567890.mp4.tmp, neither of which are recognizable as media files.  This is a problem preventing me from sharing the session recording.  I tried the Zoom Support chat line and they ended up creating a ticket but so far I have not gotten a solution or explanation.

Hey there! I'm kinda new to zoom, started to use this platform just a while ago. So I've been thinking about security methods during calls... since I have my online sellvia store I often have to call my specialists or customers to discuss something and during these meeting we ofc talk about some private things or share file that no one else is allowed. How do I ensure total security? Do I just put the password on the meeting or there's something else I can do? Thanks

Poor playback quality

Hi!

 

I have recorded a short (~5 minute) clip a couple of times, and get the same issue on the playback which is skipping and an occasional spinning wheel.  Any suggestions of how to avoid this?
