Resolved! Microphone works fine, then fails

I have a problem running a zoom meeting.  The meeting starts perfectly with the selected microphone and speakers all 100% functional.  I am using a Windows 10 (now 11) desktop with 32GB RAM 3TB SSD and ethernet link to my WLAN-Router.  During the meeting at intermittent frequencies, my microphone becomes unavailable within Zoom.  Nothing has changed, no other app has been initiated, no other app is running in the background.  Zoom advises in a comment in the bottom left hand corner of my screen above the Audio section shown with a microphone image:

"Your microphone is not working. Please check your connection or use a different mic."

 

What I do to solve this problem is to click on the dropdown list of the Audio to the right of the microphone image, select the mic I was using and and then functionality is restored for a while, duration variable.

This happens whether I use the microphone on my Logitech Streamcam or a DUAL conference mic wired into the microphone slot at the back of my unit. This is definately a software problem, the microphones are all correctly plugged in and authorised to Zoom usage.

 

Please advise.  I am about to purchase a full licence for meetings with 3 or more people, and I don't know if it will be worth it!

My personal account does not have "Give Product Feedback" so I am submitting here.  

 

Currently you have "Stop Incoming Video" which stops ALL incoming video.  My suggestion is to add "Show Only Spotlight/Pinned Video".  While in a meeting, it would show only the video(s) of those who are currently spotlight or pinned. This would save bandwidth, while still allowing a person to see the current speaker.  It would also reduce distraction as you wouldn't see the bar of screens at the top.  Alternatively, you could provide a way to hide the bar of screens at the top to reduce distractions.  This is most useful for webinar or presentation type meetings.

Good morning,
I'm having a problem with zoom meetings. Every time I join a meeting the program stops responding (Windows 10). This happens before I even enter the audio of the call and without using the camera. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but the problem persists. What can I do?

Video Notes

Hi !  Curious, I participated on a video call. Some information was typed  in the chat. Is there a way to recover it if the video was recorded and i have a copy of it ?

How does a user turn off email notifications?

I conduct many zoom calls per day. I already get notifications from Slack and my laptop's OS and the emails telling me someone entered my zoom call are redundant and fill up my inbox. Is there a place I can turn those off? I've already scoured Zoom Workplace and my zoom account online. My search for this had no results here or in the Learning Center, and there is no search function in the Workplace or in my zoom account. Perhaps consider adding that in future as there are a ton of settings everywhere - it gets confusing to know where to look.

I use  Zoom Workplace 6.2.7.  I typically share documents and material from web pages via the Zoom session.  I would like to imbed a simple countdown timer for all attendees so we can move forward more quickly through the material.

The Zoom timer tool does not appear on participants' screens when I share either a web page or a static document.

I fear I've overlooked something trivial here but I can't find any relief online and would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I am running Zoom 6.3 on a desktop Mac with Sequoia 15.2, but I've had this problem for a year after an update a long while back. I have deleted and reinstalled the app  but that does not work. 

 

On my dashboard:

1. Schedule is greyed out and the button does not work

2. New Meeting looks fine but does nothing (the sub-button "start video" and "use my personal ID" are there) 

 

The menu items (Schedule and Start) are greyed out. I can only start or schedule a meeting by going to the Zoom.us browser page.

 

Join and Share Screen are fine. 

 

Any ideas?  Thanks, all!
