I teach an exercise class via music Sharing Music. Recently, we tried to hold the class in a gym with additional live folks. We needed an external speaker for the folks in the gym to hear. But, whether we plugged it in or used Bluetooth, the Zoomers could no  hear well. I think the music may not have been Shared when we plugged in the speaker. How can I use the music over Zoom and with a Mic?

Hello. A school I work with has an Issue with their Acer Chromeboxes where during meetings after initially joining computer audio it will say "Your browser is preventing access to your microphone." However I have gone in and turned on microphone allowed on in chrome settings and the issue still occurs. I have updated the devices to the newest version and have even factory reset on to troubleshoot with no success. These Chromeboxes are plugged into TV's with a webcam so there is no microphone to begin with. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. This is on the browser version of Zoom since there is no desktop version for chrome.

Hi, I have a Zoom One Pro account. I would like to set up two general links for use at any time. From the forum, I already know that I need to do this through 'recurring meetings.' But I wonder if such links will not block my ability to use the account for other meetings?If I set up two such general links, and if the meetings happen at the same time, will they not block each other? How many meetings can occur simultaneously?

 

Thank you for your help,

Clips: Screen share and video - how do I appear ON the shared screen/presentation - not beside?

Hello, I am desperate looking for settings where I can change the design of Clips recordings. I want to record my shared screen (powerpoint slides) and have the video of me talking on top of the presentation - not beside the presentation slides! Is it the only way to record in Clips - having your video beside the presentation? Problem is that the presentation will then get too small for the students to watch? I think that I somewhere could chose how the video/webcam of me would appear on the screen, but I have looked everywhere, cant find any settings. Please help! I need urgent help with this. Thanks.

No sound from videos on Chrome when Sharing Screen

I'm having a (new??) issue specifically with the mobile version of Chrome browser and Zoom's Shared Screen. When playing a video on the mobile Chrome Browser while Sharing Screen, the other meeting participants cannot hear the video sound. Yes, Share Audio is selected on the tablet. 

  • I was able to replicate the problem on mobile Chrome apps on both a Galaxy S6 Lite tablet and Galaxy A725G phone
  • It seems to only be the mobile version of Chrome - not the desktop Chrome. 
  • I'm unsure if it's a new problem - but I'm sure I've used Chrome during Share Screen before w/o issue. So I'm going to say it's new.
  • I have made sure to click the "share audio" button that shows up when Sharing Screen from a mobile device.

About my Set-up:
I usually have my Surface Pro computer with Windows 11 as the main host in meetings and cast video/audio to a  TV.   I join meetings with my tablet as a co-host and use it ONLY to share screen to play videos and do whiteboards during the meeting.

 

When watching videos played during the meeting, I watch my computer or TV so that I see and hear the video as my students do. I am teaching things that require split second timing. There is a 1-3 second delay in the video for participants as it goes through Zoom and to their computers/devices. By watching the video on a second device, I see it exactly at the same timing as my students. 

I often use a cut-off headphone jack on my tablet during meetings to avoid microphone/speaker feedback between the two devices & the TV.  This is easier than remembering the specific settings on the various devices to avoid it. Pulling out the headphone jack however did not correct the issue described above. And does not cause a problem when Sharing videos via mobile Firefox. 


Troubleshooting Process I have taken:
  1. Tablet has sound when:
    1. Playing videos via VLC, MediaMonkey, etc.
    2. Watching a Google Classroom or YouTube video on mobile Chrome and Firefox. 

  2. When the tablet is connected to Zoom (but not sharing screen)
    1. Watching a Google Classroom or YouTube video on mobile Chrome --> tablet has sound.

  3. When the tablet is connected to Zoom and Sharing Screen 
    1. A video played with VLC or Media Monkey --> tablet has sound and sound is heard by participants.
    2.  A Classroom or YouTube Video played on mobile Chrome --> tablet has sound, but not heard by participants (yes, "Share Audio" is ON)
    3. A Classroom or YouTube Video played on mobile Firefox --> tablet has sound and sound is heard by participants.   

Other troubleshooting steps I've taken: 

  1. I attempted to uninstall & reinstall the Chrome browser on my tablet and deleted the cache. There was no change. 

  2. I replicated the same problem with mobile Chrome when Sharing Screen on my phone. 

  3. When I try to reverse the process, and use my computer to Share Screen, and watch a Classroom or YouTube video on the desktop version of Chrome -- the participants CAN hear sound. So it seems to only be the mobile version of Chrome.

I have a single monitor (PC). I am sharing PowerPoint in presenter view, with viewer seeing full screen and presenter seeing presenter view with notes. I have links to external videos and websites within my presentation, and the viewer follows when I move to those, but when I return to PowerPoint presentation, the audience starts seeing my presenter view with notes. Any suggestions for how I can return to them seeing full screen while only presenter sees notes please?

Video Resolution

Is there any way to scale up the resolution of the video being sent/received?

I understand there is a resolution limit imposed for group meetings, but if my hardware allows, could we broadcast at a higher resolution?

Hosting meetings through organization Zoom account

Hi there,I'm having a similar problem to (this issue)[https://community.zoom.com/t5/Meetings/Allowing-anyone-in-organization-to-start-meeting-be-assigned-as/m-p/91368#M50986], though it looks like it was never resolved.I manage a small nonprofit orga... Show more

Hi there,
I'm having a similar problem to (this issue)[https://community.zoom.com/t5/Meetings/Allowing-anyone-in-organization-to-start-meeting-be-assigned-as/m-p/91368#M50986], though it looks like it was never resolved.

I manage a small nonprofit organization. We have a Gmail account with the format [organization name] @ gmail.com, and then we have a Zoom account associated with that Gmail account so that we can host meetings from a Zoom associated with the organization name (rather than having individual people host meetings).

However, we need to be able to grant host access to the meetings to anyone who might be hosting. Similar to what the poster described in the link above, we sometimes need to switch hosts at the last minute, e.g. if someone is a no-show or if someone's availability changes. The event must go on!

Our plan is to use Gmail delegate access to allow several users to have access to the associated gmail account, so that they can log into the organization's Zoom and host the meeting if need be. But Gmail limits the number of delegates to 10, and we have on the order of 20 people who might need to host an event. So this solution won't be workable for us in the long term.

What is your procedure for allowing Zoom meetings to be scheduled and hosted by an organization, as opposed to by an individual, with any number of people allowed to start the meeting?

Recording file download

Now you can only download the cloud recording file of one meeting at a time. It takes a long time to download the recording files of 200 meetings. How can I download the recording files in batches?

I have scheduling privileges for three very busy colleagues. I used to have Zoom reminders set to remind me 10 mins before my meetings. Problem is, I now get reminders for my meetings as well as the meetings of the three people who have given me scheduling privileges. I had to turn reminders off because there were so many and now I miss being reminded for the meetings on my schedule.

The same goes for my status in the Zoom client. My status is "In calendar event" all day every day because of the others' schedules.

Am I missing something? Is there some way to set the reminders and status to work only with my meetings and ignore those of anyone who has given me scheduling privileges?

Thanks!!
