Desktop sharing quality
Hi,
I have noticed in the Zoom API that it reports the screen sharing quality as poor for a few calls where there was screen sharing involved. Curious to know what is the logic used to determine the quality as poor or good?

Hi,

Over a year ago we were seeing titles like "Zoom Linux App Now Supports Screensharing on Wayland" but as far as I can tell this is not true now and has never ever been true. There are some other posts here which point out the problem but they seem to have gone unnoticed by any people actually working for Zoom, so I will try to post another one and hopefully it will get some attention. Basically, for a long time screen sharing did not work at all, but finally Zoom made some fixes and now we can start up screen sharing. But in my experience and that of others reported in some threads here, once the screen sharing is started, it cannot be stopped. This really makes screen sharing unuseable. PLEASE FIX ZOOM SO WE CAN STOP SCREEN SHARING ONCE IT HAS STARTED. The problem is twofold. First, most significantly, the floating toolbar that allows one to stop screening (as well as alter it in other ways) DISAPPEARS after it has been shown for only about ten seconds. It seems impossible to get it back (no matter what settings one has in the settings dialog, contrary to what some people have suggested). Second, there is supposed to be a keybinding, Alt-S to stop screen sharing. But it also has no effect. It is possible that Zoom cannot figure out how to get the floating toolbar to keep showing under Wayland (people have reported both in various versions of Gnome and also KDE this happens). But surely in order to make their program USABLE at least, they can AT LEAST fix the keybinding so that it works to stop the screen sharing? This seems like a trivial thing to do, which will move Zoom from being unusable under Wayland to very usable, even without the bells and whistles of the invisible toolbar. Please! Thank you.

Salve a tutti, ho bisogno di aiuto. Uso Zoom per fare lezioni di fisarmonica... io sono l' alevo. Tutto andava bene fino a che ho dovuto cambiare notebook, ora non riesco più a sentire òa fisarmonica del maestro, sembra quasi che zoom la elimini, quasi come venisse recepita come un rumore di fondo, la stessa cosa con altri strumenti musicali, si sente solo la voce. Qualcuno può aiutarmi? Grazie. Francesco

During a meeting, when I share my screen, Zoom places my thumbnail at the top right corner. I can move it around while I record, BUT... it doesn't move at all on the recording itself. It is always in the top right corner on the recorded video, despite having moved it around during the recording process. Is there way to choose where I want the thumbnail to appear on the recording itself?

Problem: When I spotlight multiple people while recording the recording only shows a single person speaker view. I can record on the cloud and this still happens and I can record to my computer and it happens. If I am missing something please help me, I have not found a proper solve for this.
I have looked for this all over the Zoom forum and it seems no one has solved it. I am very surprised that Zoom has not solved this because it deeply effects a lot of the people who create courses, products, and host multiple meetings world wide with leaders that need to be seen by teams, podcast interviews etc.

Where can I change the topic once and for all My topic currently reads "[My Name]'s Personal Meeting Room." Can I change the meeting topic for all my meetings instead of manually adding the topic I want all my invitations to have the same topic i.e. «name of the company | Zoom invitation»

El día 21 de marzo realice una reunión de zoom con coanfitriones iniciando desde la web, por fallas del pc me retire de la reunión e ingrese por medio del teléfono, nuevamente se presentó un inconveniente con la red e ingrese desde el programa zoom instalado en otro pc con el mismo usuario. Se verificó que la reunión continuara y entre los cambios se evidenciaba que la grabación seguía en curso (informaba el audio recording in progress) Al verificar el audio en la nube no se encuentra completa solo la última parte. ¿Cómo puedo recuperar la grabación? Esta no se encuentra en eliminados. Gracias, es una respuesta urgente.

Hello I was contacted earlier by a company from Liverpool by phone. The company was called Unique Advertising but when I checked online, it said that the company was a possible scammer. I was expecting a call from Liverpool for another company. When I clicked on the link, it went to Zoom but then the host ended the call. Is it possible to confirm if it was a scammer? The link address was https://us05web.zoom.us/j/5450751922?pwd=WXEwNTlGU0RQa0RnNWlyZUxZYmNGdz09 Kind regards Andrew Jones

There is some problem with my audio in group calls, sometimes I can share my "computer sound" on advanced options without any problem, but other times the sound comes in and out, low volume, or doesn't come out at all. In the beginning, I thought it was an issue of a conflict with my external microphone, but even when I used a wireless headset (audio + mic) I had the same issue. I never know if it will work or not. This has been a real struggle, I giving classes to these people and sometimes I have to re-record the class because of the glitches with the music. My microphone works perfectly, the issue is when I try to share background music (Spotify via advanced sharing).
I have tried to change the speaker output both in Windows and in Zoom settings, but it doesn't solve it.
Note: neither I nor the participants can hear the music.
I already updated zoom and cleaned the cache.
