I need to invest in a newer model laptop to optimize my Zoom Workplace for online tutoring. I looked in the article to see the system requirements to run virtual backgrounds without a green screen but I'm still confused. It says I need it have a intel processor i5-3000 or higher. I think that means 3rd generation, but none of the laptops I see in the store have any with that number. I see one that says it's 12th generation core i5 but the model number says 1235 which seems less than 3000, but the generation is higher. Will the  12th generation work or not?

How to create a shortcut to immediately initiate a meeting request with a zoom user?

Hi,
I'd like to know if there's a way to create a shortcut that will automatically start my zoom meeting and invite a user?
Perhaps someone in the community have solved this already.
Thanks for your help

Hello all,

 

I have the 6.1.11 version, my laptop system definitely meets the requirements, and I still don't see the avatar option. I have checked the web portals setting and do not see any avatar option, however, I see video filter option which is on.  I go into a meeting and there is still no avatar option. I have gotten rid of the application and redownloaded it multiple times and nothing. Why is it not populating at all?

Hi... I'm a therapist and at the end of my sessions I've been having an alarm bell chime to signal the end of our session but none of my clients can hear it. Is there a setting I can adjust that will allow them to hear the alarm bell that sits right next to my laptop on my desk?

 

Thank you in advance!

Automatic Background Update with MSI Installer without Launching Zoom App on Windows

Hello!
 
I work in IT, and we're a Microsoft shop. Many users rarely open Zoom, so Zoom doesn’t update unless users launch it for external Zoom meetings or training once in awhile and are stuck in an older version with vulnerabilities.
 
Currently, we don’t manage Zoom installations; users have installed it themselves. I just saw that Zoom 6.1.0's changelog says it can now update even when the app isn’t running -- for the .exe package.
 
If we deploy Zoom 6.1.0 and above using the MSI package, will it still handle auto-updates even when the app isn’t open? Also, if we set up the ADMX policies for auto-updates, do we still need to add the "ZoomAutoUpdate=1" flag during the MSI install?
 
I’ve seen task scheduler entries Zoom Update for manual installs with versions above 6.1.0, but I can't confirm if the same applies to MSI installs. Also, would the app need to be launched at least once for the task schedule to be created? If anyone has experience with this or can point me to relevant Zoom documentation about background automatic updates, I’d be very grateful!
 
If updates work on MSI, we plan to deploy it via Intune to all machines, as Zoom doesn’t auto-start by default and we don't mind having the app installed on all machines. But, we want to avoid manually managing minor versioning for MSI installers and stale unused apps as much as possible.
 

June 17, 2024 version 6.1.0 (41135)

Zoom app ability to update while application is not running
To provide a more seamless meeting experience, reducing disruptions and missed call minutes caused by forced updates before joining a meeting, the Zoom desktop app for Windows (.exe package) can push version upgrades while the app is not running for users with auto updates enabled.

Is there a way to enable realtime transcripts of meetings such that only those who opt-in see the transcript? I don't want everyone to see it (as that would be annoying to most people), but a colleague is hearing-impaired, and has asked if there's a way that he (and only he) could read what people are saying. Thoughts? Thanks so much!
