I have multiple problems with screen sharing on Zoom which started yesterday. 

 

1. When I try to share a window, it shows Zoom call participants and Zoom buttons as black boxes for the other person in the call. Moreover, if I temporarily open another window that I'm not sharing (e.g. to check my notes), my entire screen will turn black on the screen share. 

 

2. When I share my entire screen things work more properly but still cannot get rid of Zoom buttons and items being displayed as black boxes for others.

Eventbrite Participants cannot access without password

I run writing workshops via Zoom, which participants book and pay for through Eventbrite. In the past I had no trouble with participants accessing the Zoom meeting through the link they were sent once they had purchased their tickets on Eventbrite. A couple of weeks ago, I paused my Zoom subscription for a few weeks, and since I have started it up again, participants cannot access the Zoom meetings with the links that they receive in Eventbrite. It asks them for a password. The only way they can access a meeting is if I send them the meeting info link from within an already active meeting. As you can imagine, this causes complete chaos for me, with multiple emails to and fro whilst I am trying to host the space. Any ideas would be SO welcome!

Downgraded to Basic - will previously scheduled meetings have a time limit?

My institution downgraded my account to Basic. I previously scheduled multiple 1-3 hour meetings with many attendees and sent out a Zoom link for the meetings. They are still listed in my account with the correct time length (I cannot schedule any additional future meetings that are longer than 40 minutes). Will the existing meeting links for these future meetings work for the correct length, or time out at 40 minutes? 

 

If the answer is that they will time out at 40 minutes, can I make a user with a Pro account a co-host once the meeting begins, and circumvent this time limit?

Meeting duration false advertising

I'm trying to figure out if I can host an hour-long appointment with one other person, and according to the plan sales page online, I should be able to because when you hover over Meeting Duration on the plan page, the pop-up window says, "The maximum duration allowed per group meeting (3 or more participants)." But in my personal experience, and that of other users, all meetings cut off at forty minutes, even if I'm in there alone. Up to two people should be able to stay in there well past an hour.

 

Zoom is misrepresenting its services. Companies have been sued for such false advertising. I'd upload a picture for proof, but the forum doesn't allow me, but all anyone has to do is go to the Plans & Pricing page and over over Meeting Duration info icon to see what I'm talking about. https://zoom.us/pricing

 

So, either change the product page to reflect what the service actually is or give back the unlimited room time for two and under participants.

My meeting links have vanished and AI has switched itself back on?

I have regular zooms with friends as well as using zoom for large meetings. This means I have a number of "anytime" meetings, which normally appear on my zoom window. They used to appear in a list on the left hand side of the window, then the anytime meetings were moved to a dropdown at the bottom of the window - and now they've vanished entirely. i had to log onto the website to find my meetings, which are all still there.

 

As I deal with a lot of elderly people who are alarmed by AI I disabled the AI companion, which has just returned and switched itself on. What's going on? How do I restore my links to regular meetings on my zoom window to avoid having to log onto the website every time i have a meeting?
