Stop Hijacking Our Microphones: Fix Zoom’s Audio Control Problem

It is absolutely unacceptable that Zoom still causes persistent microphone lockouts across Windows 11 systems. This is not a rare edge case—it’s a widespread, repeatable issue where Zoom seizes exclusive control of the microphone and fails to release it, effectively breaking microphone functionality across all other applications. This includes critical tools like Discord, OBS, game chat, and even native system utilities. The root cause appears to be an outdated and frankly negligent approach to device handling that disregards modern Windows audio architecture.

This kind of behavior is not only disruptive—it’s a massive red flag for any software that claims to be enterprise-ready. Users are forced to manually restart services, disable system protections, or unplug hardware just to regain basic functionality after using your platform. That is an embarrassment in 2025. The complete lack of accountability and urgency from Zoom’s development team is staggering. If Zoom expects to remain competitive in a space where cross-application compatibility is essential, it must resolve this problem immediately. Otherwise, users—especially power users and professionals—will continue leaving in favor of platforms that take system integrity and user experience seriously.

I see how to schedule a meeting every other week, but I want to schedule a meeting for the first and third Thursdays of every month. For months with five weeks (Like September) the every other week option won't work. Can I schedule for the first and third of the month or do I need to set up two meetings, one for the first and one for the third? THANKS!!

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!

Zoom ignores Logitech / LogiTune camera settings

I recently upgraded to a new Macbook Pro with Monterey, and since then Zoom has been giving me problems with the webcam I use for my home office.

 

I use a Logitech c922 camera with the LogiTune software to crop the camera to focus only on a part of my home office background. However, every time Zoom grabs camera access (including starting a meeting, turning the camera on and off, or even going into video preferences), it treats it as if I am using the default camera settings, ignoring the LogiTune setup.

 

I can restore the settings by going back to the LogiTune setup process (at which point Zoom recognizes the settings I put in beforehand), but I don't want to be showing my full background for the first 10-15 seconds of each meeting I have.

 

This is also *only* a Zoom problem -- all other applications that use the camera accept the LogiTune settings without issue. This is also an issue with alternate Logitech software (G Hub) that again works with all other programs.

 

This issue might be related to another unsolved problem with Logitech cameras not working in HD on new Macs (https://community.zoom.com/t5/Chat/Anybody-else-having-problem-with-Logitech-webcam-with-the-new/m-p/22394#!) since the solutions seem to be similar.

 

But has anyone found settings in Zoom that can be changed to fix this issue, or any other workaround?

 

Thanks!

Participants are manually assigned to a breakout room, but there are instances when the participant is sent back to the main room. At this time, they are "grayed out" but still showing as a member of the room they were kicked out of. We are then unable to move them back into that group unless they rejoin the Zoom meeting. Any thoughts on what we can do to remedy this?

I've noticed with the most recent update that meeting invitations are no longer successfully copying. There is a "copy invitation" tab like before, but it fails to actually copy (I usually paste the copy into emails).

 

I can manually copy the meeting link, but that doesn't contain the meeting date & time details. Very annoying.

 

Does anyone who a fix? Thanks.

OS: Kubuntu (Linux), fully updated

 

Since I updated to Zoom version 6.4, it crashes when I try to launch it.  It takes 3 or 4 tried before it finally launches.

 

I clicked the notification to update it to  6.4.6, but my browser opens to a file on my system, and shows nothing but code.

 

Any idea what I can do about the crashing issue and/or getting Zoom updated?

Do I need to be a paying Zoom user to get scheduling privileges on my director's pro account?

My director wants to assign scheduling privileges and alternative host ability to me using her pro account. Do I need to be a paying user? I have a basic account.
