You Cannot Authorize Apps Screenshot 2024-05-10 .png   UPDATE: NEVER MIND. I FIGURED OUT THAT APPS HAD TO BE INDIVIDUALLY AUTHORIZED BY THE ACCOUNT OWNER (WHICH IS GREAT FOR SECURITY). I ALSO REALIZED WE'D NEVER USED TIMER ON THIS PARTICULAR ACCOUNT.  I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DELETE THIS MESSAGE BUT I WILL IF I FIGURE IT OUT.

"You cannot authorize Timer" is the message I get.  I am host.  "Collaborate with Zoom apps" checked for participants.  On the website we allow meeting timers.  This is a sudden change. We need the Timer app and have used the Timer app on this account in the past.  I can find nothing on the web where this particular error message is discussed.

Problems with the Zoom update

Since the Zoom update I have had multiple issues, from meetings cutting out to my video switching on and off by itself. When will these issues be patched?

Firstly, does anyone from Zoom actually read these and address the issues raised?

 

In particular, for us people who are actually can't afford it who save up for a computer from WalMart for our meetings- job interviews, medical appointments, support activities.  Then this Chromebrook which was perfectly working now isn't working because of low connectivity and it's not on my end.  I believe it's some kind of upgrade from zoom.

 

FYI, I have worked all my life, and am now disabled.  I have been waiting on SSDI for over two years.  So this sucks.

 

Thanks, Zoom.  You've let a lot of us down.

Sound is distorted

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?

Australian based Zoom instance

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?
