I have an Accessibility question -- is there a setting that would keep all participant boxes in a static location on screen, rather than having the participant move to the upper left each time a hand is raised, in Gallery view? 

For some people with visual processing issues, it's extremely difficult and jarring when everything shifts on screen, every time a person raises their hand.   Of course, it's not only a single box moving to upper left, but every other person shifting location as well.  

In a smaller group, say 10 on screen, it's especially jarring and breaks the flow of a small group conversation.  And at the same time, it isn't really needed - we can still easily see the person speaking.

From what I understand, even people without visual processing issues might prefer to keep everyone in one spot in smaller meetings.

We do want to keep Gallery view, as it helps to maintain a sense of the group as a whole.  

And I know about 'click and drag' to put the boxes into whatever order you prefer, but still, each time a hand is raised, everything moves.

The host prefers to keep using the hand raise emoji, vs have people just raise their 'real' hand on screen, since it's not always as easy to catch that.

Any suggestions would be so appreciated!  

Hello,

We are looking for a solution to an uninvited user constantly coming in and doxing our members in the chat.  This person is relentless and no matter how many times we close the chat, they return.  It is affecting our meeting as a whole and the safety of our members.  We can remove/report however this person uses a VPN and different devices.

I can't give specifics as to devices as several people that run this meeting use all different kinds of devices.  I have tried using the "Chat Policy" to stop this user from posting the same thing over and over, however it only blocks the keywords for MY account and not the other members in MY meeting.  I have contacted Zoom with a ticket and they don't seem to have any answer for this.

Hi,

using a monitor with 1920x1200 resolution, the gallery view takes up over 1/4 of the vertical space of the screen and there is no way to shrink it.

I think it would be great if the gallery view could be resized so that it takes up less screen space?

edit 25/8/24 – more info. The reason I want to do this is because I want to share as much of a pdf file as possible  while still being able to see the other people.

What do you think?

OS: Windows 10.

Thanks,  😃

Hello,

I recently recorded a meeting on my MacBook Air and the recording didn't save.  I am running Zoom Workplace version 6.0.11.

I've successfully recorded meetings in the past and am familiar with where they typically land at Documents/Zoom.

The variables I can think of that may have affected this are:

- I was not signed into my Zoom account

- The host had to give permission to record

- The recording ended when the host ended the meeting; I did not stop the recording first

Despite the above, I still think that the meeting should have recorded and saved successfully.

Does anyone have any ideas what may have happened and if there's any chance I can recover this recording?  I tremendously appreciate any help you can provide.

Thank you so much!

- C.

I think it is unbelievably lame that every time you want to share high quality music in stereo you have to pull down that almost invisible carat and switch from mono to stereo, even though all the settings on my client are preset to stereo and hifi.  Very hard to remember this additional step, and in my organization we have a lot of non technical people leading events with music who keep missing this step.  I'm a tech and I keep missing it myself! Come on, Zoom, what are you thinking?  Default should obviously be stereo if you've already set up client for stereo hifi!

Greetings all,

What do you guys think of the original post (see below)? I can see part of the appeal, but wondered what the arguments would be against having this feature.

I have 3 different people who use iPads connecting to our religious meetings who all have had a black screen on speaker view. Two of these seem to have cleared up for some reason, one is still having the issue.  No idea why.  He sees himself in the corner, like normal.  If he switches to Gallery View he sees the active speaker, but switching back to Speaker View yields a black screen.  It does show the name of the expected speaker in the corner. All 3 of these people have different iPad models, they're all up to date.  Our meetings typically have about 60+ participants. We use a Waiting Room to start. We don't Spotlight speakers.  Anybody had this issue and figure out a solution?
