Zoom Automatically Rotates Meeting Interface on Android

Hi there,

I'm a Zoom user encountering an issue while using the Zoom app on my Android phone. I hope to either find a solution or learn if there are corresponding settings available.

Issue Description: Despite disabling auto-rotate on my Android device, Zoom automatically adjusts the orientation of the meeting interface when my phone rotates. This causes inconvenience during meetings. I prefer the Zoom meeting interface to remain fixed in orientation without automatically adjusting based on my phone's rotation.

Is there a setting within the Zoom Android app to address this issue? If not, are there alternative solutions or plans to include similar functionality in future updates?

Simple Way to Automate Zoom Meeting Scheduling Using Google Calendar + Scripts

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share something that helped our team save a ton of time.

We often schedule 10–15 Zoom meetings weekly, and copying meeting links into invites manually was getting tedious — especially when dealing with clients across time zones.

We set up a simple automation using:

  • Google Calendar

  • Google Apps Script

  • Zoom’s API

Now, whenever someone fills out a form or we drop a meeting into a shared calendar, the script automatically creates a Zoom meeting and adds the link to the event description. No more double entry, and fewer scheduling errors.

Happy to share the full steps if anyone’s interested, or I can drop the sample script here directly. It took a few tweaks to get the OAuth and Zoom integration right, so hopefully it’ll save someone else some time.

Let me know if you're trying to do something similar — I’m happy to help or compare notes.

Creating 5 unique zoom links for interview day WITHOUT host

Hello,

Yall help my poor brain. Will this work?

 

I need to create several Zoom links for candidate interviews. I am trying to avoid the need for meeting hosts for loads of reasons. Will the setup and settings work? I feel like I'm missing a big "this is why this will fail."

 

The big reason I want to do this is I will have 5 morning interview candidates, 5 afternoon interview candidates (total of 5 candidates/5 zoom links).

 

I will have 12 interview days (not consecutive days, they are scattered), so this is an effort to:

 

1. reuse the 5 links across all 12 interview days

2. set it up so there is no need for a host as i can't be host in that many meetings (and i want to avoid any of the 5 interviews from being host as they aren't very tech savvy).

 

Note: I cannot set this up as a single meeting and do breakout rooms.

 

Interview Structure

  • Number of Candidates: 5
  • Number of Interviewers: 5

 

  • Candidate will be provided with a single Zoom link.
  • Candidate will stay in that Zoom for duration
  • Every 30 minutes, Interviewers will rotate through 10 candidates by joining the candidate's zoom.
    • FYI - Jill, Sally, Mary, Frank, Jack = interviewer team. These are the folks who will jump from zoom to zoom every 30 minutes
 

9am - 9:30a

9:30a - 10a10a - 10:30a10:30a - 11a

Hi,

 

Somehow I have managed to get an image of Animal from the Muppets on my background and I can not remove it. I have done all the obvious like selecting a different background or even selecting 'none' as a background image. But the animal image overlays every image I select even a 'none' background and I have no idea how to remove it. I have been through all the possible settings but no joy?

I have even uninstalled on my Mac, and re installed it and nothing had changed.

 

This has caused me issues today as I was not allowed to join a government backed meeting because I could not remove it? (link to image attached)

 

I hope there is someone out there that can help me?

 

Thanks
