Can't log into my own personal meeting room

I am using my personal meeting room link to schedule meetings. I attach the link to a meeting in my calendar, but when I click on the link in my calendar, while logged into my zoom account, I get put into the waiting room, waiting for the host to start the meeting. But I AM the host. 

 

The only thing I have found that could possibly be the issue is that my calendar is a different email address than my zoom account? Is it because I'm clicking on the link from my email that it doesn't recognize me in zoom? But i'm already logged into the zoom account on my computer. So it doesn't seem right.

 

HELP!

Breakout Rooms

For the past few days, we've had quite a few participants being randomly kicked out of breakout rooms. Does anyone know if there is an issue or have suggestions on how to stop this?

OS: Ubuntu 24.04.2

Zoom: Version 6.6.0

Logged in through work account.

 

A watermark of my email address was showing on my video and shared screens on my zoom client.  The host did not have watermarks enabled in settings and nobody else in the meeting had watermarks.  This is the first time I have seen them.

 

Last time I used this client (two days ago) with the same host and same account there were no watermarks.

 

Why were they there and how can I stop them from appearing?  

 

Thanks

Good day,

 

We have a licensed Zoom account and regularly assign two alternative hosts for our meetings. Recently, we changed our email domain, and since then, we’ve encountered an issue when assigning these hosts using their new email addresses.

Whenever we try to assign them as alternative hosts, we receive the following error:

 

“Unable to assign [new email] as an alternative host because the user cannot be selected at this time.”

However, assigning them using their old email addresses still works without issue.

 

Could you please advise how we can assign them as alternative hosts using their new email domain? We want to ensure our Zoom setup reflects our updated contact information.

 

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi there!

I've recently started using Zoom for my online classes. I would like to "screen share" a shared Google doc during our call, so we can both type in it. I know I can screenshare a tab in my browser, but then I won't see my student's face while working on it. Does anyone know a solution for this? 

 

Many thanks!

On a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 with AirPod Pros Gen 2. Issue started when I opened up Zoom (6.6.6.) this morning and was greeted with a "Failed to detect your speaker. Please make sure your speaker is property connected." Sometimes it's "Failed to detect your microphone. Please make sure your microphone is properly connected." 

 

Since then, I have done the following recommended fixes: 

  • Updated my Windows (11). 
  • Updated my audio, Bluetooth, and system drivers using Lenovo Vantage. 
  • Updated my Zoom. 
  • Uninstalled/reinstalled Zoom Workplace. 
  • Disconnected/reconnected my AirPods. 
  • Disconnected AirPods from all devices.
  • Factory reset my AirPods. 
  • Reset my laptop at least five times throughout all of this. 
  • Ensured AirPods are selected as both microphone and speaker in Zoom, trying both "same as system" and "headphones" (they work as both outside of zoom).
  • Ensured my laptop is giving access to Zoom to use my AirPods as a speaker/microphone (via system settings, Vantage, and Zoom). 
  • Turned off the setting that manually adjusts microphone volume in Zoom. 
  • Turned off the system setting that allows app exclusive control over the audio. 

 

Not sure if this is a Lenovo/ThinkPad or Zoom issue or a combination of the both. Sometimes when I test the audio in Zoom it works sometimes it doesn't. However, outside of Zoom (for example, if I test the audio through the system settings) I hear it no problem.  

 

I just opened my Macbook and my AirPods flawlessly connected and worked on Zoom.

Why Recording File so big?

why are some recording files 3 to 5 times larger than others?

we have several user accounts that record one-hour videos.

one account generates one-hour video files that are 150MB.

Another account's one-hour video would be 700MB. Why?
