It used to be that when I paused a screen share, Zoom would just freeze the shared screen. Recently, that behaviour has changed. Now, I pause screen the participants see a message, "(hostname) has paused screen sharing." What changed? Is there a setting I need to fix? I am using Windows 11, Zoom Pro version 6.4.6.

Hi, I need to present via zoom, when I'm doing so, the presentation mode goes full screen and I cannot see my notes (I either have to use my phone and it's too small, or print them our, but it's long). Is there a way I can split screens and one part will be a shared presentation, and another my notes? When I just do the split screen (on MacBook pro), it works, but as soon as I start presenting via zoom, it goes full screen back. thanks in advance!

Screen sharing is broken again. Was just giving a black screen, repeated attempts to share eventually seemed to work. Can only share a app window, not a screen. I also get a error on the version of pipewire installed preventing sharing audio. I have downgraded to V 6.4.6 that previously worked. Will see if it still works.

I am the organizer of an event where children and teenagers receive awards for their achievements in artistic and calligraphy work within Japanese language schools.

This event is currently held in a hybrid format, that is, there is an in-person awards ceremony that takes place on a specific date, while those who cannot attend in person are invited to participate virtually on the day of the event.

The problem lies in the virtual format, because the idea is for them to interact in some way, so at the awards ceremony those who came virtually appear when we call their names. Of course, here part of the organization moves to use the spotlight to move the camera to the winners and make them appear. In practice, for operational reasons, many of the winners are children, and they enter via cell phone, which makes it impossible in many cases to get their attention due to any logistical setback, because the chat tab disappears on the cell phone, and sometimes the parents responsible are not paying due attention. We tried to organize through breakout rooms, which became a palliative solution, because we solved it by putting a kind of filter where we organized the winners by name and verified their identity (with the occasional child who couldn't use Zoom and we couldn't call them at the awards ceremony, unfortunately), but the experience is not satisfactory. The fluidity is still better in person, and the virtual one still suffers, either due to the timing or the still low engagement, which I think is unfair considering the existing potential, but maybe it's because we're having difficulty combining the in-person + virtual operation. I would like a suggestion on how we could improve, perhaps by using some onboard Zoom tool?

When I share my screen and play a video, I can neither hear the sound nor the other participants.

I usually test the video before, and the video is perfect, but when I share my screen, this problem happens. 

The "share sound" option is checked, speaker "same as system" is checked.

I also realised that when the other participant is not using earphones, they can hear the audio, and I can hear the audio through their microphone. But when they're using earphones, neither I can hear the sound nor can they hear it.

Never had this problem before, and I hadn't changed anything in the settings.

Hi there! I’m trying to record a Zoom meeting or webinar to my computer (not a live session — just a local recording), and I need help with the layout settings.

I’m using a layout where my silhouette (the cut-out of me without the background) is placed over my shared screen (I’m sharing Canva slides). I love this effect and want only that silhouette of me visible in the recording.

However, when I watch the recording, I see:

1. The silhouette of me (which is great)

2. Plus a second box in the top right corner showing my webcam video with a white background (which I don’t want).

Is there a way to only record the silhouette overlay and remove that extra video box from the final recording? Or do I have to crop it out myself?

I’m not sure what the official Zoom term is for this kind of layout — maybe it’s called "immersive view", “avatar,” or some kind of “overlay” feature — so I’d really appreciate any clarification on that too.

Thanks in advance!

Hi - I'm sharing a PowerPoint presentation. It's fine when I start sharing the screen. However, when I click to 'slide show' (i.e. just looking at the slide) the sharing stops with the  message ''screen sharing has stopped as the shared window is closed'. Any thoughts please?

Thanks

I recently removed fathom from zoom and now all of my virtual backgrounds are gone and I no longer have the advanced functionality to share screen and video - I would appreciate any assistance or guidance. And I can no longer logon unless I logon from the browser for workspace
