If you close a Zoom meeting without stopping the recording, do you lose it?

Hello. I recorded a Zoom meeting as a guest (with acceptance by the host). However, when he ended the call, I realized I didn't know how to find that video. I've searched my laptop documents and entire laptop, but and not finding the folder. So I'm wondering if it may be because the meeting was ended without ending the recording...? I.e., I never clicked to stop the recording b4 he ended the call. Thank You.

Problems with recordings.

Hello,

I schedule and start a meeting a couple of hours long. I set it to record in the cloud with screen sharing.

Around 15 or 20 minutes later it stops recording.

Is there a way to solve it?

Thank you! Laura

Do participants see the Zoom countdown clock?

When using the basic version of Zoom, do participants see when the countdown clock on their end (as it's approaching the 40 minute time limit)?

 

Thanks!

update to Workplace???

I just want to know about BASIC zoom. I don't want or need Zoom workplace. Why must I update this App if it already does everything I want and need?   I am afraid if I update, it will complicate things for me.  Can I somehow return to basic Zoom?

Microphone Continuously Disconnecting throughout Meetings

I am having an issue with zoom where my microphone keeps disconnecting constantly throughout meetings and calls. I have to "switch" my microphone between default option and the mic itself after it disconnects to get it to work again. The default mic and the mic I pick on the list are the same mic.

Zoom is the only talk/VoIP app that does this. My microphone works perfectly on Discord and in various game VoIPs. It is a very frustrating problem as I use zoom quite a bit and have done EVERY "fix" I could find both on the forums and in the tech support files and nothing is working. The error that pops up over my mic is "your microphone is not working. Please check your connection" (paraphrased). When I test my mic pre-meeting, it's showing as working, it is only while actively in meetings that it repeatedly disconnects.

Windows 10: All drivers including audio are up-to date. Zoom is also running on the most recent version.

Does anyone have any leads on how to fix this? It's driving me insane.

Hi - I have a user that I had add an alternative host to all her scheduled recurring meetings. I'm going to be removing the user's licenses soon. I just wasn't sure if I remove her licenses will the scheduled recurring meetings still be active, will the alternative host be able to host those with no issue?
