Hi Zoom Community,

Is it possible for additional meeting features to be added to Zoom Breakout Rooms for the host and co-host only?

1. Consent to Enter:

   Require participants to “knock” or request access before entering a breakout room. Someone already in the room (e.g., a co-host) can then approve or deny entry.

   Just like in a physical office—you knock before walking into a room, especially if a private or sensitive conversation is happening.

2. Consent to Move:

   Do not allow hosts or co-hosts to move a participant from one breakout room to another without the participant’s consent. A prompt should appear asking the participant to accept or decline the move.

What do you think?

Has anyone else run into situations where these features would have been useful?

Thanks, Zoom Team, for all the amazing work—and Zoom Community for your insights! @ZoomMeeting 

The main issue is: For the last 4-5 times I have used Zoom on my Dell laptop, in lessons where they split people in breakout rooms, I have trouble to get back to main room after the time is gone. Zoom freezes up and I can't do anything. This time it took very long time for it to even announce that "Zoom is in trouble. What do you want to do? close or wait". Or something like that. After I press "Close" it still is hanging in position and only after a while it started closing with a popped up window asking to report on the issue. I wrote it. 

Later on when it was closed already, it asked again for reporting on the issue, but I didn't have time to waste anymore at all. I tried to open again that zoom session and this time it was not opening - for the first time ever. Before at least I could get back into the meeting.

Then there is another thing - always together with zoom meeting window I get message with yes/no from Zoom Workplace "CptHost.exe is using ocsCSP.dll from an unknown publisher. Are you sure you want to run this software?". This message comes since very long time ago, also in time when i had no problem exiting from breakout rooms. Message doesn't visibly interrupt the meeting and I don't know if it is related with the main issue.

Does anyone have any idea what is the cause and how to solve it please? I am missing out parts of my lessons.

Thank you for any help in advance,

Agnese

For the sake of practicality and ease of use for teachers, I would like to request the possibility of consolidating the screen sharing options into a single location within Zoom.

Currently, when a teacher wants to share their main screen, they simply press Alt + S and begin sharing monitor 1. However, when they need to share the whiteboard (which uses the second camera), the process becomes more complicated: they have to click “Share Screen,” navigate to the “Advanced” tab, select “Second Camera,” and then click “Share.”

This sequence of steps is not intuitive and increases the likelihood of errors, especially in an educational setting. Therefore, having an interface or direct access that unifies these options in a more streamlined and accessible way would be greatly beneficial for instructors.

Currently, Gesture Recognition ("I physically raise my hand and Zoom detects and posts a reaction that I am raising my hand.") is a function available in Zoom meetings through the Zoom Desktop app. 

Is there a way to have this working in a Zoom Rooms evironment? 

• If so, how do you even go about turning it on

Does this need to be a feature request?

• I did not see any mention of this in upcomming notes but I may have missed it.

I am having an issue with Zoom audio recordings on Mac. (MacOS v.15.0.1, Zoom version: 6.3.11 (50104)

When I listen back to my side's recording, it sounds as if there's a slight distortion—almost an echo. (Other person's audio is fine) If I didn't know any better, I would think the audio track is misaligned, as if sounds like there are two audio tracks playing in quick succession, creating a noticeable echo effect. (I have good room acoustics, and have narrowed down the issue to Zoom)

Here's what I've tried to troubleshoot this:

- Tried multiple USB mics in Zoom, they all reproduced the issue in Zoom.
- I tried recording audio in QuickTime Player to see if it was a microphone issue. (The audio was great, no issues)

- I tried restarting my Mac, zoom issue persisted.

- I tried uninstalling/reinstalling Zoom, issue persisted.

Not sure if this is helpful, but I've narrowed down the issue start date to somewhere in between (10/24/24 and 11/08/24) by listening to old recordings. Looks like Zoom has a small update on 10/28/24.

I'm really stuck on this one, and would appreciate any help!
