Since I updated the app on my iPad 10 on the 16th of December, every time I leave the main window to share a file through Google Drive, share a link from Safari or share my screen, my Zoom crashes and I have to sign back into the meeting I was hosting.  For about 15 seconds after, my account can be seen in two windows to my participants (one frozen from when my Zoom crashed and the other working regularly of when I signed back in).

 

There was an update on the 17th that had bug fixes, but it didn't solve the problem.

 

I tried restarting my iPad to no avail.  

 

Is anyone else having the same issue?

Regression: Zoom Workplace now limits sharing to 2 of 3 monitors

I am using Zoom Workplace version 6.6.6 on Windows 10 (22H2, x64) with three monitors.

Until a few days ago, I was able to share all three monitors simultaneously during meetings. Recently, this stopped working.

Now, Zoom only allows me to select any two of the three monitors. When two are selected, the third becomes grayed out and cannot be selected. This occurs consistently.

This is on the same computer, same account, and same monitor setup. I have tested this both as the meeting host and as a participant, with the same result.

The Share Screen settings referenced in older documentation no longer appear in the current Zoom Workplace UI.

I have screenshots available and am happy to provide them or demonstrate the issue if needed.

Solved.

The problem was that the graphics card driver provided by the computer manufacturer was outdated.

The problem was solved by applying the latest Intel driver.

Can't Find "All Screens Mode"

I'm running Zoom version 6.4.5 on Windows, and need to be able to view the screenshares of participants in my meetings without them being able to see each others' screens. All my googling leads me to a feature called "All Screens Mode," which is supposed to have a checkbox allowing me to turn on "Allow participants to view shares" - which seems to imply that the default behavior is that participants canNOT view shares.

 

Yet when I open my meetings, that "All Screens Mode" is nowhere to be found, nor is the checkbox, and the default behavior is that all participants can switch between all shared screens via the tabs at the top of the meetings.

 

Has this feature been removed? Is it limited to paid licenses? I meet all of the requirements listed on the support article here. . .

Audio breaks up in meetings

I have recently bought a new laptop for work, which I use exclusively for Zoom calls. The following problem had never occured before now. The new laptop is an Acer Extensa 215-55 with Windows 11 Pro. 

 

As soon as I start any meeting in Zoom on this laptop (even if I am alone and silent), any videos/audio recordings I play on the computer get audio distortions. Specifically, when I start the trek, the sound gets choppy, voices come through okay, but any additional sound in the background of the trek, such as laughter, clapping, etc. becomes barely audible, any music in the trek becomes completely inaudible. If I share the screen with the other people in the meeting, they can hear the same quality of audio I do, so barely anything. I need people on the other side of the call to hear these recordings in good quality, music and added sounds included, not to mention I need to hear it myself just as well. Some people I have calls with also don't speak very loudly, so in their case Zoom does not pick up their voices at all at times, which is an even bigger problem, as I can't hear them now.

 

This does not happen on any other call programme.

 

I have: 

- updated Zoom to the latest version;

- in Zoom settings put on 'original audio for music performers' (I also turn it on in every meeting after that);

- in advanced Zoom settings switched off any Windows sound correction;

- checked that my sound drivers are on the latest version as well. 

 

None of this has helped to improve the situation even slightly. 

At this point I feel like I have tried all the settings I could find in the system. 

I cannot use another programme, as my workplace uses Zoom for meetings exclusively. 

This is greately interfering with my work. 

 

On a side note: my old laptop was a Windows 10, and never had anything like this happen. However, I asked a colleague at work to reproduce this on their Windows 11 laptop, and they had no problems with audio like I do.

I would appreciate a concrete solution. 

Thank you in advance.

Zoom on Linux with Remote Support/Screen Share: Critical Issues

We have a large number of lecturers at our institute wanting to use Linux as their system (primarily, because they're teaching Linux directly or DevOps/develpment and it's nice to be on the same system you're teaching). 

 

Problem is, Zoom Meetings app is borderline unusable when combined with remote support or screen share. Greatest issues are:

 

1. When providing remote support to a student, lecturers are unable to type certain keys - such as 's', 'p' and several others. Capitalised versions are fine, however certain keys are interpreted by the remote system as shortcuts. For example, when I press 'p' on the Linux machine, the macOS remote client 'beeps' - same beep as when an invalid key is pressed. Similarly, for example, pressing 'z' on Linux causes Mission Control to appear! This means we can't type anything (such as fixing commands or code) for our students. 

 

2. When the remote support session is ended, choosing to "Stop remote support" doesn't actually do anything. The only workaround we've found is for the lecturer to start a share themselves just to stop sharing.

 

Then there's the minor issues such as:

 

3. Zoom doesn't respect light/dark mode and has no option to use dark mode. 

 

4. Lecturers have to re-login every time they launch Zoom.

 

Technical Details

- Lecturers are using the latest Zoom version 6.6.11 (2052). Students are also on the latest respective versions of their macOS/Windows clients.

- Lecturers are using Fedora Linux 43 (primarily). We have tried both the Flatpak and RPM versions of Zoom - both exhibit the same behaviour.  

 

It would be nice if Zoom started working properly on Linux. I understand the user base must be an insignificant proportion of the overall user base but, ironically, we're having better luck with Microsoft Teams! Come on Zoom... your backend infrastructure is almost entirely Linux - give some love to the client.

All I want for Christmas is for the Zoom Linux client to fix screen-sharing.

Zoom is becoming a busted, unworkable application on modern Linux desktops. 

 

Linux systems are quickly and aggressively moving to Wayland & Pipewire for graphical sessions because they are more secure than the outdated, fragmented x11 standards.  In fact, more and more Linux distributions are going Wayland-only, or at least Wayland by default. KDE and GNOME are both deprecating x11 support.

 

Zoom has not kept up.  The screen-sharing problems on the NVIDIA/Wayland/Pipewire/Zoom stack are well-known and well-documented.  You basically share a black screen that crashes your call when you stop sharing.  The settings menus are not helpful (and yes, I have tried all of them).  Screen-sharing just doesn't work well on the Linux client with very-common hardware and OS configurations, and the only workaround is to run it on an x11 session.  This is a notable defect, and the problem really appears to be contained to Zoom.
