Hi, recently some of our events that were set up to April changed the status of the registrants to no show but the events did not start yet. 

In some of the cases there was a practice by some of our reps but they did not start the event. 

 

How can we make sure it's not changing the status before the event starts?

Has anyone tried the new "Shared Content Only" view mode in Zoom Webinar? I was really looking forward to using this new feature and I congratulate Zoom for adding it.  It sounds like a very useful way to enable webinar hosts to force a shared screen on attendees while hiding all panelist video tiles, even for videos that are currently on.  However, I have discovered that this feature only works if attendees have upgraded to the most recent version of the Zoom client.  Which, in my opinion, makes this new feature completely useless! Why would a webinar host want to impose a specific view on only SOME of the attendees?  The whole point of the feature is to force the shared screen on ALL attendees. Until all attendees are required to upgrade to the latest version (which I think is currently 6.2.11), this feature is pointless. I can think of many uses for this feature, but now I'm just disappointed that it seems to have no practical use at all 😞

Hello All, 

 

I'm hosting a Zoom webinar shortly, but running into difficulties.

 

I have taken off the "practice session" and clicked on "start this webinar" button. The meeting runs with only me present, but it still appears as upcoming, even though the time has passed. Basically, I have no way to start the webinar. I cannot find the broadcast button at the top. After I click start or start this webinar button, the application boots up and it is automatically recorded. I end the session and it makes no difference. I have updated OS and Zoom to the latest. 

 

TIA

Adjusting size of presenter when viewing webinar

I'm posting from the POV of a webinar attendee, not as a host/planner. I am using Zoom Workplace version 6.4.0 on Mac Ventura. I swear there used to be a way for me, as an attendee, to adjust the size of the presenter's camera view while they are sha... Show more

I'm posting from the POV of a webinar attendee, not as a host/planner. I am using Zoom Workplace version 6.4.0 on Mac Ventura. I swear there used to be a way for me, as an attendee, to adjust the size of the presenter's camera view while they are sharing their screen.  For example, you could have the presenter and their PowerPoint side-by-side, and drag to adjust the size of the presenter  relative to the size of their PowerPoint slide. Now all I see is the option to switch between the slide and a camera view up top that is so tiny you can barely make out the presenter's face. If you switch, then the shared PowerPoint is way too small.

 

I realize that if you go full screen, you gain some control, but this is awkward compared to the side-by-side view, requiring multiple clicks rather than just dragging to adjust. I swear I looked through all of the view settings and can't see a way to switch to a view that makes the presentation engaging -- in other words, you can clearly see the slides, and their face, side by side, at the same time.

 

I don't see an option to share a screenshot, so here's a link to a (heavily-redacted) one:

New Spotlighting Behavior not Good for Webinars

When the webinar host spotlights a panelist, this now reflects on all of the panelists' screens too. It didn't used to work like this. This is not a good change. Panlists do not like this. Many panelists want to see their self-view at all times so that they can remain in camera frame. If the webinar host spotlights a panelist, then all of the other panelists lose their self view. Spotlighting should only affect attendees in a webinar, not the panelists. Zoom, please tell your product team to change this behavior back to how it used to work so that spotlighting doesn't change the panelist screen.

Setting up some videos in Zoom as only on-demand webinars

We are moving from a different webinar provider to Zoom. 

 

Is it possible for me to take the recordings from our earlier webinars, upload them to Zoom, and then set them up as an on-demand webinar?
