I am on the Pro Plan, so why are my meetings still limited to 40 minutes?

According to Zoom, I'm on the Pro Plan:

                  2023-06-06_15-19-25.jpg

It doesn't prevent me from scheduling a meeting that's several hours long.

 

However, when a meeting I've scheduled is actually in progress, it gets timed out after 40 minutes.


The Zoom support page (here) says:

There is no limit to how many meetings a Basic user can host; however, if you prefer to avoid a meeting timeout at 40 minutes, upgrade to a Pro account 

 

Well, I *have* a Pro account, so what else do I need to do?

 

TIA
Josh

Gravei um vídeo com o Zoom e ficou como um ficheiro em vídeo na pasta gerada por este em "Documentos". Abri o ficheiro em vídeo e funcionava. Entretanto coloquei o ficheiro em vídeo numa outra pasta para poder realizar uma transferência em formato ZIP para enviar por uma plataforma de envio. Depois de transferir para esta nova pasta, ainda antes de realizar o processo para conversão em formato ZIP o ficheiro em vídeo deixou de funcionar. Aparece a seguinte mensagem: "O Windows Media Player encontrou um problema ao reproduzir o ficheiro." Alguém me consegue elucidar o que se possa estar a passar, o problema e como poderei solucionar esta questão? Muito obrigado pela atenção

Intermittent Bluetooth Connections to hearing aids

I have bluetooth enabled hearing aids; to connect to my Windows 11 laptop, they use an intermediate device. The hearing aids are Signia Pure C&G 3AX with their most recent software updates.  The intermediate device is the Signia Connect Link 1.1 adapter.    Neither my iPhone nor my iPad require this clunky arrangement - both devices connect directly to the hearing devices.   I am now on my third Connect Link adapter, since I began experiencing some sort of intermittent connections in early October.  The newest devices haven't resolved the issue - i keep getting drops.    After looking at a number of items in the community knowledge base, it seems that bluetooth issues are prevalent.   Any suggestions?  More importantly, any solutions?

Canceling a meeting that no longer appears in my list of meetings

I used to own a meeting Zoom link when I worked in a different part of my organization. It is still being used by people in my old unit and it is old enough that it has dropped off my list of previous meetings. I keep getting notifications whenever my old unit starts using it; is there any way to delete the link so they can't use it any longer?

How best to structure a weekly 'drop in' meeting

I organise a weekly Zoom meeting for people all around the world to practise different languages, at the moment I just post the same repeating Zoom link (and passcode) on all our social media channels and that's how people join, however I think this a) leaves me a bit open to bad actors joining the meetings and causing havoc; b) if I ever wanted to make this a paid meeting, or send out recurring emails, I don't have anyone's contact details to get in contact.

 

I'm just interested to hear any ideas on how better to structure this in terms of a) safety and control; and b) going forward being able to encourage donations or offering other services to people who attend.

 

Should I for example set up registration on Zoom first for people to participate?

Poor virtual background filtered

I'm experiencing an issue when setting up a virtual background on my laptop. My appearance becomes very poor, as if half of me is transparent and filled with the virtual background. This wasn't the case on my previous laptop. On my previous laptop's Zoom, my appearance and the background were very neat, with no parts of me being cut off by the virtual background filter.

I've checked and found that there's an option to select the color to be filtered for the virtual background, but the results are still poor, forcing me to use a green screen to achieve a good filter cut.

For your information, I use the latest zoom version, there is not update waiting, and my previous laptop had an Intel Core i5 8th gen, while my current laptop has an Intel Core 3 100u (not the core i3). In terms of specifications, the newer laptop is not a low-end one, so why is the result so different? Also, there's a message stating that my device (laptop) is not compatible with the virtual background. Please assist me, thank you.

Hiya so I'm having a problem during online music classes where I am unable to hear the teacher playing music due to the background noises being suppressed however I am the only one in the meeting who cannot hear the music! Other members in the meeting can, and the teacher has the original audio for musicians setting on. It's like my computer is the only one that doesn't know this setting has been changed. Struggling to find a fix for this as everywhere is just suggesting to make sure they have original audio on which they do! And I can hear the music when joining on my phone just not on my laptop. What can I do?

Otter.AI - How to block from joining meetings?

For our account, we have native Recording and Transcription disabled, unless pre-authorized, due to our very strict security and legal policies.

 

We just learned that an Otter.AI bot, used by an external user, auto joined a call (Hosted by us) as 'user_otterpilot'. Once the meeting was over, the full transcript of the meeting was emailed to all users on the invitation - based on integration with the external users calendar. 

 

When the Otterpilot AI is recording/transcribing, the Host and all attendees are unaware that this meeting is being recorded. 

 

Does anyone know how we can block these bots from joining our internal calls?  All IP's are different and I can't find out what domain the account is using to attempt blocking that way. 

 

Thanks!

Instructions say to check what version zoom you have go to your profile picture and click help and then about to get to that option.

When I go to my profile picture there is no option for help.  Any suggestions welcome. Trying to determine what is the latest version and download it if I don't have it.  When I go to the download center nothing happens when I try to download 5.9.
