Hi,

As an educator I want to suggest the following feature to be added to Zoom's polling / quizzes in order to enhance the user experience as well as the ability to check for understanding:

1) reordering sentences / words so that they are in the correct order (Microsoft forms has this function)

It would really help and avoid me having to create forms via other websites.

Hi everyone,

First-time poster here! I’ve been looking around the community but haven’t found anything quite addressing the scenario I’m working through, so I’m hoping to get some insights from others.

This isn’t about a technical problem rather, it’s about customer success and operational efficiency. I’m curious how other organizations handle a similar situation.

Context

I work for an IT consulting organization. We run client projects with teams that differ for each engagement. Zoom is our go-to VC tool, and we frequently use it for workshops, with meetings scheduled by project managers (PMs) via Google Calendar (with the Zoom extension).

Everything works fine for the basics, but we’re running into efficiency challenges:

Challenges

1. Host Dependency

   • The PM is automatically the host since they schedule the meeting, but they may not always attend. This limits what other team members can do during the call (e.g., starting recordings or managing participants).

2. AI Summary Emails

   • The AI summary is emailed only to the PM. While this is configurable at the account level, it applies universally to all meetings they schedule—not just the project meetings.

3. Recording Permissions

   • Participants cannot start cloud recordings unless the host enables this in their account settings. Again, this is a global setting, not meeting-specific.

4. Recording Notifications

   • Notifications about cloud recordings being ready are sent only to the meeting host, which means they’re also responsible for downloading and sharing recordings with clients.

5. File Sharing with Clients

   • Customers often request that recordings be uploaded to their preferred storage platform (e.g., Google Drive, SharePoint). This adds extra work for the PM, especially since settings cannot be streamlined for project-specific collaboration.

Attempted Solutions

While some of these issues can be addressed, most solutions come with trade-offs:

• Setting Alternative Hosts
  PMs can assign alternative hosts when scheduling meetings, but this requires knowing and manually entering email addresses—a tedious and error-prone process. Setting alternative hosts via zoom.us does auto-complete, but that then requires the PM to do multiple steps. 

• Sharing the Host Key
  Sharing the host key allows others to assume host control, but this feels equivalent to sharing a password, creating potential security concerns.

• Adjusting AI Summary & Recording Settings
  Preferences for summaries and recordings apply at the account level. This can lead to oversharing or mismanagement of sensitive information across unrelated meetings.

What I’m Looking For

I’d love to hear how other organizations handle these challenges, particularly for dynamic and fluid teams. Specifically:

• Have you encountered similar issues?
• How do you balance efficiency, privacy, and security with meeting management?
• Are there best practices or workflows that could help address these problems? I'm not a Zoom administrator, so appreciate I may be unaware of some configurations that could be applied. 

Idea for Improvement

One potential enhancement I thought of is creating team-based settings, similar to shared drives or platforms like Lucidchart. With this:

• Teams could define default meeting settings (e.g., host permissions, AI summaries, recording rules) that apply to meetings created within the team.
• This would reduce reliance on the scheduler (PM) and better align with modern SaaS digital workspace practices.

Does Zoom already offer something like this? Or does Zoom have an idea portal where I could submit this suggestion?

Conclusion

I’d really appreciate any insights, recommendations, or even confirmation that we’re not alone in facing these challenges. Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm experiencing an issue with screen sharing on Mac Safari Version 18.0.1 (20619.1.26.31.7). After clicking "Cancel" on the initial screen share permission dialog, all subsequent screen sharing attempts fail with the following error:
javascriptCopy{type: 'INVALID_OPERATION', reason: 'user deny screen share'}
Here are the relevant details:

Device type: Mac
Browser: Safari 18.0.1 (20619.1.26.31.7)
Error code: INVALID_OPERATION
Troubleshooting steps taken:

Attempted multiple screen share initiations
Verified the issue occurs consistently after initial denial

Below is the code snippet for the screen sharing implementation:
javascriptCopytoggleShare(isShare) {
if (isShare) {
if (mediaStream.isStartShareScreenWithVideoElement()) {
mediaStream.startShareScreen(document.querySelector('#chat-share-video')).then(() => {
$("#chat-shareVideoContainer").show();
$("#chat-shareCanvasContainer").removeClass("flex-align-items-center");
$("#chat-shareCanvasContainer").hide();
}).catch((error) => {
adapter.server.SendSysMessage(adapter.currentIceLink.conversationId, "resetShareScreen", (res) => {});
console.log('error =>', error)
})
} else {
mediaStream.startShareScreen(document.querySelector('#chat-share-canvas')).then(() => {
$("#chat-shareVideoContainer").hide();
$("#chat-shareCanvasContainer").addClass("flex-align-items-center");
$("#chat-shareCanvasContainer").show();
}).catch((error) => {
adapter.server.SendSysMessage(adapter.currentIceLink.conversationId, "resetShareScreen", (res) => {});
console.log('error =>', error)
})
}
} else {
mediaStream.stopShareScreen().then(() => {
adapter.server.SendSysMessage(adapter.currentIceLink.conversationId, "resetShareScreen", (res) => {});
$("#chat-shareVideoContainer").hide();
$("#chat-shareCanvasContainer").removeClass("flex-align-items-center");
$("#chat-shareCanvasContainer").hide();
}).catch((error) => {
console.log('error =>', error)
})
}
}

I've used Zoom for years.

I use the filter (the first one) every meeting, b/c it keeps me from having to mess with my settings on my camera.  That filter does most of what I would do.

But... about 2 months ago, it was just... Gone.  (The option for filters at all, was gone.)

I've updated to the newest version.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled

I've gone into settings to make sure they are turned on.

Nothing.

help.

Thanks

I just purchased a new iPad Pro, and even after deleting the Zoom app and reinstalling, ensuring that it has the most recent updates from Zoom. My zoom room has the prior interface with all the control functions at the top rather than at the bottom. I have sent in a zoom support report and I have contacted Apple support and have not found any resolution. Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions, please!

There is a weird split second delay where my audio and video are not in sync.  This is for both my laptop and my phone, so it's not an issue with a device.  It's a zoom issue.  Has anyone else experienced this issue?  If so, how did you resolve it?
