When it comes to adding a "Donate" button to your PMI meeting or pinning a chat message, there are a few options to consider:

  1. Integrating Third-Party Apps: Explore third-party apps or integrations that allow you to seamlessly add a "Donate" button to your Zoom PMI meeting. Platforms like PayPal, GoFundMe Charity, or other fundraising tools often offer Zoom integrations specifically designed for this purpose. These integrations typically provide easy-to-follow instructions on how to set up and customize the donation button within your meeting interface.

  2. Utilizing Zoom Chat Features: Alternatively, if you prefer not to use third-party apps, you can still make donation information visible to all participants by utilizing Zoom's chat features. At the start of your meeting, consider posting a message in the chat with details on how attendees can donate. This message can include links to donation pages, QR codes, or other relevant information. Once posted, you can pin the chat message to ensure it remains visible to all participants throughout the meeting.

Hi all! 

I've been really struggling with sound distortion during video calls for a while now. Every time I connect to my Airpods, both old gen 2 and brand new Airpod Pro, my mic works horribly. I have tested headphones through other apps - they work fine. Checked my mic test in Zoom, the only way I can get a normal sound is through my Macbook Pro mic, which is super annoying as I work from a co-working space.

 

Please someone help, I have tried everything I could possibly think of!

Thanks!

Admin logging on overrides the host

I am the regular host of Zoom meetings. Last meeting the account owner/admin logged on. This appeared to immediately remove my host access,  as suddenly I lost my tools and my video or audio options, and the toolbar on the shared screen vanished. I could not recover them.

I had to end the meeting for all and start the meeting again. Everything was then okay. Has anyone experienced this? 

If an admin or account owner logs on, can this override the host of that meeting?

Is there a personal setting an admin/account owner needs to make before joining a meeting to prevent this?

I would appreciate any thoughts or help anyone can give me.

I have a question regarding live transcription(closed caption) function, am using the latest zoom version on Windows.

Is the live transcription related data, e.g. audio signal for transcription, stored or "flowing through" zoom's server?

Or is it all done in the local client's side?

State government schools in my area typically cannot connect to my Zoom meetings because they advise Zoom is not authorised on their network.  The Chief Information Security Officer for the government advised that, "The department supports meetings hosted externally to the department, however, the host must be Australian-based and using the Australia Zoom cluster services, as a paid Zoom customer."

I am an Australian user paying for the Zoom service, however I'm unsure what is meant by "using the Australia Zoom cluster services".  What does that mean? How do I know if I'm using that service or not?

Thanks folks

Hi,

I'm trying to configure a specific recurrent meeting with a different setting for screen sharing from default setting of my account.

Is this possible?

I would like by default to allow only host to share screen. This is setting is set in my account meeting configuration. But in a concrete recurrent meeting, I want to allow that any user can share the screen, even If I am not inside the meeting to change this setting.

As far as I see, this is not possible, but maybe I'm missing some way to do it.

 

Thanks.

Hi, 

 

We use a group work email account to log into Zoom as it is used by various teams, however when our CEO uses it he wants to use the transcript facility but these notes would need to go to his individual email as it's not appropriate for anyone else to see, does any one know if that is possible?

 

Thanks

I’m trying to figure out why suddenly last week, out of the blue and randomly colorful balloons and one time confetti filled my screen. This has been very off-putting because it’s happening in the middle of my business meetings with clients. I have checked all settings and haven’t changed any that could seem relevant. I need to disable this function but don’t see how to especially since I don’t understand what’s causing it. Any advice?

The Host starts a Meeting: Guests enter an EMPTY Room WITH the Same Link!

Hi Everyone,

 

This doesn't happen every time, but it has happened 3 or 4 times where I start a meeting as the Host and the couple comes in and we are in different 'rooms'. I have only sent them one link for our scheduled meeting so they can join me.

I called the couple by phone, and they said it showed that I was involved in another meeting.... WHAT???? I am in their meeting.  So I exited the meeting and then went to their link (the one I emailed them) and entered the meeting that way.  This has happened in the past but not for a year or more.  Is this a program glitch?  I talked to a friend who uses zoom for her business as well and she has had the same experience.  I feel baffled by this.
