Hi!!

I just tried to share my video but the Optimize for Viedeo sharing button is deaktivated that I cannot turn it on.; 

I have tried also in another Meeting from another account, and this button was activated... What is just happening with my account? 

And is there anyone who can solve this problem?

A few weeks ago, I decided to host a virtual dinner party with some close friends. We planned everything—everyone cooked their favorite dish, we set up our cameras at just the right angles, and we even tried to sync our meals to feel like we were in the same room. Everything was going smoothly until… Zoom started acting up.

First, my audio kept cutting out. Then, half the guests couldn’t see my video, and someone’s screen froze right when they were about to show their homemade sushi. It felt like a scene from a comedy movie—except we were all hungry and frustrated.

I couldn’t help but wonder, is there a better way to optimize Zoom for smoother video calls, especially when multiple people are streaming at once? Have any of you faced similar tech hiccups during virtual gatherings? Would love to hear tips on making these online meetups seamless!

I have had the experience many times when someone was screen sharing (say a Youtube video) and dark grey boxes block the picture.  I believe one box was the gallery of participants on the side, I have no idea what the other grey box was...  how do you get rid of these boxes so that the screen share picture is unimpaired?

I love the "new" multi-speaker view in typical Q&A type meeting. Except for the fact that the speaker lingers on screen long after they're done and they're often unaware that they are still on screen.

It would be great if Zoom had a "remove" person from multi-view feature that Hosts and co-hosts could use to remove them rather than waiting on the Zoom timeout ...

I have a profile picture for my Zoom account which previously showed up when I joined a meeting (before I turned on Video) or when I turned Video off during a meeting.

Recently my profile picture stopped appearing when I was signed in with the

video off. This has happened in several different meetings.

I have a Zoom account, and if I start a meeting my profile picture does appear when I have Video off.

How can I fix this?

I have set the setting Host and Participant Video to be off, in the personal room setting under Meeting Setting.

However, when someone join my zoom room, especially those join through the invite link, their video were turn on automatically when they join my zoom room.

And after that, I checked my setting again, it seems they override my setting and both video for Host and Participant are turn to "on" automatically.

Because I may have some new people joining my zoom room via link, and how can I keep them that their video is off when they join my zoom?
