Zoom randomly shares my computer sound even when I'm not sharing audio

I have an odd issue that has only happened a couple of times and is seemingly random (first time was in August last year, second time was today).

 

Basically, I'll be in a Zoom meeting, not sharing sound or screen, and I'll watch a video on my computer (eg. on YouTube or Twitter). Even though I'm not sharing anything from my computer, other people in the meeting will hear the video audio.

 

It's not through the computer mic as I have earphones in and the friends in the Zoom also said that it was definitely coming directly from the computer (not as indirect/background sound being picked up through mic). It seems intermittent as well, as the first time I watched a Twitter video today, others in the Zoom heard it, but when I played another Twitter video a few minutes later to test if they could hear it, they said they couldn't hear anything.

 

Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? Operating system is Windows 10 if that makes a difference.

HATE the latest website updated

I saw that Zoom recently revised the page for creating new meetings - page has always had a nice look & feel, but recent (unneeded, I'd guess) changes, at least 1 which seems like it was make "just because we could" have made my meeting setups a bit harder.

I setup regular meetings for 12-step groups, and until recently, it's been a breeze.  The meeting title, like almost all text boxes on web pages, "remembers" the last few entries, I select one that's close and just change the date - good to go!  Then, I'd just scroll down and select "allow participants to join anytime", since sometimes members would sign on before the host.

NOW - The text box for meeting title no longer remembers latest entries (my guess is they either made their own control , which doesn't support history, or they deliberately disabled history... why???).  Now I have to keep a .txt file with the subjects so I can copy n' paste/edit, rather than re-type it every time (it's important that the title follow a consistent style)

THEN - scroll down to the bottom, and .... the "allow participants...." option is GONE!  ... wait - there's a "show" / "hide" option - now I have to click that to see what I've always seen before.  Now, this is actually a good option to have - when you need it - generally if the options are long and it make the rest of the page harder to get to since you have to scroll past it - NEITHER of which applies here - there's only FOUR options, and they're at the BOTTOM of the page - why do we need to hide them???  One extra click seems petty, but I work on public facing websites, and this is website 101 rules being ignored, and the MOST common complaint I get from users of my websites is, "now I HAVE to make this extra click to do what I wanted to do" - remember - what the designer/programmer/managers all feel is INVALID if the users find the results to detract from the UX (user experience).

I looks like times I've seen web programmers "improving" a site based on their own ideas ("hey look, I could put a 'hide/show' option here!" - [whether it needs it or not]l), rather than the feedback from the community.

Obviously, I could be wrong about all of this, however I'd like to see the comments calling for removing text box history and imposing a 'hide/show' option for 4 options at the bottom of the screen - ???

My video background is stuck on Blur

I have been stuck on Blur (not the normal blur either, just a lesser version of blur) for over a month now and can not just go back to 'None' and a clear live background. This is happening on my Samsung Galaxy 23+ phone, have uninstalled and re-installed the Zoom app multiple times to no avail. Works fine on my desktop Zoom app. I am a paying Pro customer and not receiving much support. Anyone know what is going on here?

I schedule meetings for someone else & am his delegate.  He's asked for audio only meetings so tried doing One Tap Mobile.  However when he dials into the meeting he gets the message that the host passcode is incorrect.  Participants hear that the meeting has not yet started.  I've triple confirmed the passcode is the same as in the meeting invite.  This works for me when I send from my own account, but not as his delegate.  Wondering how to get the host passcode for his meetings to work.

I have been experiencing issues with Zoom meetings for the last few weeks. 

 

My Audio/Speakers work fine. 

When i go into a Zoom meeting the Speakers stop working. 

- The other people on the call can hear me but i cant hear them. 

- The speakers work fine when i test them before entering the meeting. 

- The speakers work fine for everything else. 

- When in the meeting i can go to Sound>Playback> Disable and Re Enable my Speakers and the sound will come through in the call. 

It seems as though Zoom is blocking my speakers when i join a meeting. 

I have reinstalled drivers, windows updates, Installed the newest version of Zoom. 

 

 

Has anyone else experienced this?

Im using an HP Probook 440 G9 ( issue is the same on a 430 G6)

Any ideas how to fix it?

My audio level fluctuates widely

I'm setting up a new laptop and I've been told by other call participants that, when using Zoom, the level of the first couple of seconds of my speech is often barely audible, then usually kicks in much higher. For example, if I count to ten "1, 2, 3" is faint, "4 etc." perfectly audible. There's no such problem on my old laptop (both Dells, though different models), and I've tried to match the audio settings but without resolving the issue. I haven't encountered this problem on the new laptop if using other video calling apps, such as Teams or Whereby. I've now listened to a call from someone else using my problematic laptop and the level will suddenly drop or suddenly come back to normal with no discernible pattern. This can happen close to or far away from the computer. I updated the version earlier today. Any ideas?

I clicked onto the link and it took me to the launch page. When I clicked to launch a meeting it did nothing. I can't join meetings.

Tried AI but it is completely useless and apparently Zoom doesn't have any agents to assist. 

I have missed this morning's meetings and will likely miss all my business meetings this week because zoom AI doesn't register the existence of this kind of problem. I have not access to Zoom meetings until this is resolved. 

I hope that someone out there has the answer because Zoom doesn't. 

Thanks for your help.

Hi Zoom Community,

 

I’ve been facing an issue during Zoom meetings where my audio intermittently cuts out, making it difficult to communicate. It happens randomly, whether I’m speaking or listening, and doesn’t seem to be tied to my internet connection as my video remains stable.

 

I’ve tried troubleshooting by restarting Zoom, checking my microphone settings, and updating the app, but the problem continues.

 

Has anyone else experienced this issue, or does anyone have suggestions on how to fix it? I’d appreciate any help!

Thanks in advance!
