I am the host of the meetings, and with some of my students it happens that their camera is functioning in the main room, but as soon they enter the Breakout room their camera switches off and only a black screen is show. Back in the main room their camera is on again (but sometimes not even).
And it happens sometimes the other way around: the camera works in the breakout room, but when being back in the main room the camera is off/black. 

Anyone an idea what is going wrong and how to solve this?

Zoom keeps shutting down and reloading in the middle of my call

Hello, my Zoom keeps shutting down and reloading on its own in the middle of my calls. It will close and immediately reopen and rejoin the call. It does this about 2-4 times per call. 

I hate that I have to click the system tray icon to close Zoom

Why can't we just close Zoom with one click, like 90% of the other Windows applications?Why do I have to click a bunch of tiny icons a bunch of extra times to exit Zoom for real?What benefit does this give to the user? And no, checking the option to ... Show more

Why can't we just close Zoom with one click, like 90% of the other Windows applications?

Why do I have to click a bunch of tiny icons a bunch of extra times to exit Zoom for real?

What benefit does this give to the user?

 

And no, checking the option to not minimize when exiting doesn't work.  Some product manager at Zoom decided they need to make everyone leave their app open as long as possible, as often as possible.  It's disgusting

Hello everyone, sorry for my English but I use the translator. I hope to explain myself better.
I wanted to understand something technical. If multiple attendees open their microphones and clap their hands during a meeting, how many of those claps will they actually hear?

I thank you in advance.

Hello all zoomers, 

 

I am writing this with deep and utter profound sadness that the video filters have seemingly been removed without prior notice and provocation. It makes me just visibly frustrated at the lack of forethought on behalf of the tech support that they would do such a thing to the community. What am I missing? I am not as upset as my satirical message may have lead one to believe, but I am filled with snark today because the Zoom Support (and I use the term support loosely in this case) isn't as foretelling and forthcoming as one might have expected.

Resolved! No remote control icon in attendee's Zoom menu

I host meetings from the Zoom desktop app for Windows. I have the latest version 5.10.4. My settings are set that an attendee is unable to join via browser meaning they must join the meeting with the Zoom app (which I know is required for remote control).  My attendee was sharing her screen but when I asked her if I could have remote control, she said she didn't have a remote control icon in her Zoom menu? When I clicked on the drop - down next to 'view options' on my computer, there was no 'request remote control' option for me there either - which there usually is.

 

This Zoom support article at https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/208072316-Using-Remote-support-session says that one of the pre-requisites is that the Remote support feature is enabled on the meeting host's account. It is definitely enabled in my settings.

Any ideas what is causing this?

I am experiencing an issue with audio during Zoom meetings

While other participants can hear each other, I am unable to hear any sound.

 

This issue persists despite trying the following troubleshooting steps:

- Ensuring my audio is not muted.
- Testing my speaker in the Zoom settings.
- Verifying that my device's audio works with other applications.
- Restarting both Zoom and my device.

 

Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?

Thank you for your support.

I have Logitech, Inc. C920 HD Pro Webcam which was working fine with Zoom and Linux Mint 21. After upgrading to Linux Mint 22 my microphone started acting up. The sound is garbled so bad that you can't understand what I am talking. The webcam works just fine with Skype for Linux and some other apps that are using it. 

I tried troubleshooting the issue myself - uninstalling Zoom, installing the latest version, and trying it again. Nothing helped so far. Does anyone have an idea how can I fix the issue? Thanks!

Here's some additional info:

$ uname -a
Linux xxx 6.8.0-51-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Dec 5 13:09:44 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ dpkg -l | grep zoom

BTW, it is not helping that:
1. Zoom doesn't have much info about Linux in their troubleshooting guides

2. The Zoom app on Linux doesn't have the option to test the microphone

Hi all,

I've had multiple different laptops (all on Windows 11), with different manufacturers, and zoom crashes on all of them. Windows freeze, it shuts itself down & reopens again about once every 20 minutes...

I have a friend who has a desktop (gaming orientated), who experiences the same issues, so it's not laptop-specific.

Machines are rock-stable on everything else, so it's just a Zoom-centric issue. Is there a known issue with machines using NVIDIA drivers?
