Someone I know is now in Ghana, Africa. We'd like to video-conference together. Tried reading some of the stuff from Zoom, it ALL seemed to assume I have something called a "Zoom phone." I do not, but I have participated in MANY zoom "meetings" but they were all domestic. Tried chat, was denied because I don't have a paid plan.

Can I do this and how to go about it?

This problem has been annoying me for a while now.

I bought a new computer to work from home and it is has decent specs: Ryzen 5700U, 16 GB RAM 4266Mhz, Fast SSD, Wifi6.

My router is also Wifi6 and I have consistent 300Mb download/upload link.

I have not noticed the same problem on other conference solutions.

The problem is (and I am still trying to narrow down the scenario): whenever I am muted, in a zoom conference with more than 2 participants (not one-to-one), every 2 minutes or so I get a blank in audio for about 3 to 5 seconds. Then the audio returns, but that piece of the audio streaming is lost. It only happens to me, and only for audio. The video keeps working during the whole thing (that is why I do not think the problem is my network).

Curious thing: If I hit the space bar to temporally unmute myself for 0,5 sec, then the audio immediately returns. That is why I think it is a problem in Zoom other than in any other piece of my system.

I recently found out I am not alone: https://www.reddit.com/r/Zoom/comments/ijh2hs/zoom_audio_cuts_out_for_a_second_once_every/

But they do not provide a solution, just the space bar workaround.

Please, if someone has any clue on what the problem might be, please let me know. I am thinking about returning this good setup just because of this issue, since it is affecting my work.

Just for the sake of completeness, my setup has a Media Tek Wi-Fi 6 MT7921 card.

Thanks in advance for any reply.

Hi everyone,

We have many recurring meetings but now when I create polls for different meetings all the polls for every meeting shows up in the Poll feature when in the meeting which is a huge headache because I only want the poll that is relevant to that meeting. Does anyone have a solution for this?

I recorded a meeting locally in which I shared sound (just sound). There were 11 participants which I could see in gallery view as I was sharing the sound. However, in the recording I cannot see the participants at all. I could hear the sound that I was sharing, but not the participants. Can you please advise what I can do.
