Resolved! Fade to grey / slow dissolve at end of meetings

I've been wondering if it would be possible to end Zoom meetings a little less abruptly. I find it quite disconcerting when the host ends a meeting, and suddenly you are left with a blank screen or your desktop. Especially for more arts based sessions, where people are very immersed in the experience.

 

True for any meeting, business or pleasure, but especially in the field I work in - arts activities for people who may be coping with mental health issues - people may be emotionally very engaged, you might even say spiritually engaged, and the sudden loss communication may be upsetting. I certainly find it a jolt.

 

It's like being engrossed in a movie, but instead of a fade out with some suitable music to round things off, and then the credits sequence to let you ease out of it, you are just suddenly dumped in the real world, with no time to reflect, or defuse, or 'come down', you might say.

 

So I am wondering if it would be technically possible to say, freeze frame the participants' screens, and gradually fade them out to grey, or do a dissolve slowly to an end screen - maybe with a message, something like 'thank you for using Zoom, see you next time' - or some such.

 

I think an option like this would really enhance the experience.

Hi,

I want to set up my own personalised virtual background for myself as a meeting host. The problem is that the system doesn't allow me to upload a custom photo. I try to do it in Personal > Settings > Virtual background and the option to upload a photo is locked.

The same happens on a Zoom desktop app. When I go to Video > Background & effects > Virtual bacgrounds and I click on +, the message says 'You cannot upload images or videos due to restrictions placed by your admin'. But I am an admin and I don't know what to do.


I am on a Zoom Workplace Pro plan.

Thanks for any help.

When I start a session and want to use my own pic, I click on the plus to add and then get a message.

The message is displayed in the attached pic.

 

Not had this before, so would love to get this resolved.  I am the owner.  How do I make myself admin, or, give myself permissions to add?

 

Thank you

I have set my laptop as a Zoom Host

My guest has a Zoom invite on their laptop which they can access and they see my video just fine.

However, they cannot hear my audio even though the mic and speaker settings on both laptops are correct.

I am considering upgrading my Zoom account but am unwilling to do this if the audio cannot work.

Could someone please help?

Hello everyone,

Thank you for the help. First time user.

So I scheduled a meeting and we could see each other. But we could not hear each other.

Do I need to do something? Any advice, please. 

We both had earphones. 

I was on a desktop and he was on phone. I don't know if that makes a difference.

thanks

I’ve had pretty good success recording presentations using PowerPoint share with presenter in a window. It can be a little challenging fumbling with the keyboard though and I’d like to try something a little different. I was hoping to just video tape my oral presentation by itself, and then use video software to switch back and forth between the full screen video of me presenting and pictures of my slideshow with my video presentation in an embedded window similar to zoom share (was hoping to make the window a little larger than the default size in zoom). Just wondering if anyone could suggest software options for doing this?

A few weeks ago I started getting "low system resources" error messages from Zoom every time I log into a meeting.  I am using the same 2020 laptop as I have been for two years.  I never got these messages before, and now even when I close all other applications, I get stuttering and freezing.  Can you tell me what steps to go through to try and fix this? I see many of the same question posted, but no answers.
