slides as virtual background

[DanielPaulus]

Since I updated the Zoom today I cant use the Advanced sharing option Slides as background. There is a triangle with exclamation mark with text " You can now share slides as background with presenter layouts." Did you disabled this option? What can I do to access it again? Daniel Paulus

I am facing the same problem as David. How to get the older version back? What version the older one is? How to get it back?

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @Mark_C_TH! We're glad to have you here. If you wish to use the older version you can download it through this link. We would also advise sending a feedback regarding the functionality that you like/need.

I have sent feedback and so have several others. I don't see the functionality reinstated.  The problem with your LINK is that it is an older version and it is a pkg. file. I have no idea how to open it to override the current zoom application.  Directions?

As far as using an older version, the college sends an email to instructors if they are using an outdated version. I am also kicked out of seminars with my students several times when I don't update the version prior to the seminar.  So, is this link going to cause all of that to happen?  This is not a solution!  You need to reinstate the functionality of using PPT as a background and eliminate that triangle warning that takes you to information that does not help! Before techs change things, they need to think about the different uses for ZOOM.  I have already been discussing the issues with two of the colleges and other instructors are not happy as well.  I HIGHLY recommend that ZOOM reinstate the PPT background ability to ensure they retain current clients. Again, not everyone uses zoom for meetings. Not everyone has a moderator to monitor the chat and participant lists while they are presenting. Having to continually click on the chat box to open it to see if students are typing is RIDICULOUS! The cc and the participant videos takes up enough of the screen.  HOW DO YOU PRESENT with all of that non-essential information taking up space on the screen?  Insert "x" to remove from the screen... this is another nuisance!   IN addition, if you are going to provide a feedback link, it should actually take you to a screen where you can send feedback like most organizations have on the website.  Fill in the blank template for feedback makes more sense!  Get with the program.

So, when are you going to fix the problem and bring back the functionality so we can use updated versions of ZOOM instead of using a previous version that may not be as secure?  THINK THAT ONE THROUGH!

Would you consider bringing back the "Use Slide as Background" function? T he sharing layout works well for many situations, but for those of us who present with slideshows, it is a real challenge.  Having PowerPoint in presentation mode while trying to manage Zoom panels on top just isn't the same.
