Resolved! What happens to Zoom recordings when my computer freezes

Hey there,

 

I've been using Zoom for recording podcast interviews, saved locally.

 

My main work computer, which I have been using for all my podcasting activity, freezes occasionally, usually right after I log in. It's a long story and not a huge problem - certainly not worth clearing my hard drive and reinstalling everything - but it does mean that it's possible that it freezes while I'm in the middle of recording an interview.

 

My question: What actually happens to my recording if the computer freezes? Is it gone forever? Is there anything I can do to back them up so I will have something to convert even if my computer freezes or crashes?

 

Grateful for any tips - thanks


Ian

Which data centers are opted-in by default on a paid account

Hi,

 

I have configured various accounts and found that one had almost all data centers opted-in, another was missing a few, and another had only two data centers opted-in. I don't know the reason for the difference, whether it was configured in the past, or because it was previously a free account. May I ask, assuming the user has never changed the setting, are all data centers opted-in by default on paid accounts? This is important because I have seen a user connected to a data center on the other side of the globe, which could have been the reason for two disconnections during an important meeting.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

I schedule several different types of meetings - some that we want participants to chat with everyone and some where we want participants to only chat with the host/co-host. It would be helpful to edit this setting for meetings as they're scheduled rather than the current options of a.) changing the global setting every time I need to schedule a meeting or b.) changing the setting after the meeting starts. Is there really no workaround for this?

Logitech Brio FoV/Zoom Resets Mid-Meeting on macOS 15.7.1 — Zoom 6.6.2

Dear Zoom Support Team/Community,I’m writing to report a persistent issue I’ve been experiencing with my Logitech Brio webcam when using Zoom on macOS 15.7.1 (Sonoma). My Zoom version is 6.6.2 (65462). During meetings, the field of view (FoV) and zoo... Show more

Dear Zoom Support Team/Community,

I’m writing to report a persistent issue I’ve been experiencing with my Logitech Brio webcam when using Zoom on macOS 15.7.1 (Sonoma). My Zoom version is 6.6.2 (65462).

 

During meetings, the field of view (FoV) and zoom settings reset to their default values mid-call, without any input from me. This happens intermittently but consistently enough to be disruptive. I use Logi Tune on my Mac to set and maintain the desired FoV/zoom, and the application remains open throughout the meeting. However, Zoom seems to override these settings unexpectedly, forcing me to manually re-adjust the camera mid-session.

Here are a few relevant details:

  • macOS Version: 15.7.1

  • Zoom Version: 6.6.2 (65462)

  • Camera: Logitech Brio

  • Logitech Software: Logi Tune (Mac) — no other Logitech software installed (e.g., Options+ or G Hub)

  • Issue: FoV/zoom settings revert mid-meeting, seemingly triggered by Zoom rather than macOS or Logi Tune.

I have already:

  • Disabled “HD” and “Adjust for low light” in Zoom’s video settings.

  • Launched Logi Tune before opening Zoom to lock in FoV.

  • Launched Logi Tune while in a Zoom meeting.
  • Ensured no other Logitech software or background agents are running.

  • Verified firmware is up to date.

Despite these steps, the issue persists. From user forums and Reddit discussions, it appears that Zoom may be sending camera control commands mid-meeting that override third-party webcam settings, particularly with Logitech Brio cameras on macOS.

Could your team please investigate whether Zoom is overriding webcam settings during active calls on macOS, and if so, provide guidance on how to prevent Zoom from resetting the FoV/zoom?

 

Thank you for your attention to this issue. It’s quite disruptive during professional meetings, and I’d love to find a stable solution.

Warm regards,

Simon

Issues with Juniper SRX and Zoom Meetings

Hey All,

 

I am experiencing a weird issue, and I can't for the life of me track down what is going on.  Some brief background:

 

  •  I have a Juniper SRX340 running JUNOS 23.4R2
  • I join my meeting via my Mac which is a 2023 M3 Pro with 36GB of RAM
  • From my Juniper SRX I connect to 2 Arista 7280's in an MLAG setup, which feeds my Arista 720 and Arista C330 AP's
  • I am joining all my meeting via Wifi - where my recent speed/bufferbloat test show nearly 1Gbps symetrical and A+ rating for no bufferbloat.

 

Symptoms:

 

During my Zoom meetings calls will typically start relatively normal.  At some point during the call, but always within the first 30 minutes, I will start to hear choppy audio and frozen video and I get the message "Your Internet Connection is Unstable".  Ultimately after a few minutes of really choppy audio, the call drops and reforms.  Sometimes this is the end of it, sometimes it isn't and this cycle can go on for 15-30 minutes.

 

On the network side of things, I look at my logs and I see my port-channel/AE has dropped due to LACP timeout.  This is odd, since there is no queue exhaustion, between the Juniper SRX and the Arista 7280's.  I escalated a case with Arista and it seems to be a Juniper issue.

 

That being said - Zoom is the only teleconferencing service that causes issues.  I can use Hangouts and Teams without any issues like with Zoom.  Some things I have noticed since trying to track this down:

 

  • Zoom client has created 4 flows for 1 Zoom call.  I don't think this is normal, and may be a side effect of the dropping issue

I don't have CPU grpahs, but I don't see any CPU warnings in the logs, etc...  Hoping someone has seen something like this before and can help out.

This morning, I recorded a very important conference, and while I was converting the file, AVAST blocked the process for suspected fraudulent activity from ZOOM on my computer.  So all I have now is the beginning of the file that was converted (about 115 Mo out of a total of 482) The strorage vas made on my computer Mac Book Air and I looked everywhere for the orignal recording before the aborted file conversion, including in the trash but I cannot find it anywhere. Any hints as to where it could be?   Does ZOOM keep a record of recordings somewhere for a limited time ?  This happened yesterday Tuesday at 2pm Atlantic time.  Thank you so much for your help.

Best regard to all

Hi everyone!

 

Well... The title pretty much explains everything!

 

Thing is, I'm aBasisc / Non-Paying Customer, and can't ask this to the bot thingy... 🤨🫤😶 

So... I'm looking for any HUMAN here to help... If you guys have been through the same problem.

 

In the cell/ tablet app: There's this collapsible tab on the lower left side where you can turn on the volume to share the sound when you're on the "Share Screen" option. That works just fine when I want to share stuff on YouTube. But if I want to share the audio while on any given page while on a browser, like Chrome, then that feature doesn't work.

 

If anyone has any ideas on that, I'd be eternally grateful! 

 

I've tried to explain this to the bot but it just kind of 'short circuit' (in a non-literal) way... 

And Basic Customers don't get to talk to humans if we need help... 🫤🥺😶 so... that's why I'm here...

 

Can anyone help, please?

The 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida is the nation's 3rd largest Judicial Circuit and it is currently using Zoom as its' platform of choice for Court hearings since the pandemic broke out. You all have been a great asset not just to the state of Florida but to its' citizens. I'm hoping this discussion sheds light and hopefully fixes a limitation we are experiencing with the interpretation system in zoom.

As you can imagine, here in South Florida we have heavy demand of language interpretation services from the courts. Currently, our staff have to instruct all attendees needing interpretation through a 4 button selection process in order to get them to the proper channel so they can hear the SpanishCreole language channel. This is highly disruptive to the court case and even if taken aside (breakout room) it is still requiring extra time and effort from court staff. It would be highly beneficial to the citizens of Florida if the court staff (Host, Co-Host and/or the Assigned Interpreter) could assign participants to a language channel. Similar to how the Host can now mute attendees/participants.

Thank you in advance.
