Will a USB-C external webcam solve the iPad Pro 2021 camera orientation problem during calls?

Hi all, good day.

 

I have an iPad Pro 2021. Its front-facing camera is on a short edge (ie top edge in portrait mode), making it impossible to attend Zoom calls without being tilted 90 degrees from the others on the call. This is a known problem, which most tablets have now solved by placing their front-facing cameras on a long edge (ie top edge in landscape mode).

 

My question is whether an external USB-C webcam like the Logitech Brio—which says certified for Zoom—can solve this problem so I don’t have to buy another tablet just for Zoom. In the past, users were able to solve the problem for other video calling apps, but never for Zoom. Anyone trying this in 2025?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

We are trying to disable live captioning for a particular meeting. We would like to disable the feature and disallow any participant from requesting live captioning.

 

How do we go about doing this? The host is able to turn off the captioning and disallow requests once the meeting starts. But this affects the ongoing meeting only and participants are again able to request captioning in the next meeting.

 

We would like to permanently disable and disallow live captioning requests for all subsequent meetings. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Its happened three times already that when I add or delete someone from an event, it replaces my event text. I get the message "The event description will be replaced with the Zoom default invitation." This has been really frustrating as a I have to quickly edit it back to what I originally wrote and it resends to everyone. 

 

I've been making the changes through outlook/the zoom plugin. Anyone have any solutions? Can't seem to find any.

When I receive a Zoom link with Meeting ID and Password, is there a way to add it to the Zoom app ahead of time? I don't see any way to do this. I only know how to join the meeting or schedule my own meeting but can't see a way of adding a meeting that someone created to my upcoming schedule.

 

I'd like to be able to join the meeting directly from the Zoom app without having to look for the link or meeting ID and password. If I join in advance, it doesn't get added to upcoming meetings when I leave.

As a Zoom presenter who is live-streaming to Youtube is there a way that I can change the font size on my closed captioning? I understand that the end user can increase the font size through accessibility on Zoom yet because the font size coming from us is so small it makes it unreadable on Youtube where it cannot be changed.
I am wondering if I can adjust the size from my end to make it better for my audience. Thank you!

Using recycling expired Meeting IDs - block joining from old link

When a Meeting ID has expired, deleted, and then released to the pool of available Meeting IDs there is the risk to inadvertently join someone else's meeting if the old link is mistakenly clicked and the new meeting owner has not protected it with a ... Show more

When a Meeting ID has expired, deleted, and then released to the pool of available Meeting IDs there is the risk to inadvertently join someone else's meeting if the old link is mistakenly clicked and the new meeting owner has not protected it with a password.

Currently, the only 'flag' presented to the user joining the meeting is that they are [joining an External Meeting]. 

Expectation would be that, since the old link is pointing to a specific domain not associated to where the Meeting ID lives anymore, that the user attempting to join the meeting is presented with a notification to note the [Link is invalid].

 

Alternatively, it would be great to have a way to either keep users in our account from inadvertently joining meetings that are not password protected or to 'Accept' that they are joining a non-password protected meeting.

Zoom Locks Up When Entering a Meeting, Says it Failed to Detect Microphone and Speakers

About a week ago, Zoom starting having microphone issues. In the first meeting, I restarted and it was fine. In the next meeting, as I attempted to join, the app locked up. I restarted the computer and had the same issue. My speaker works fine with Youtube, etc., so that's not the issue. It appears to be the microphone, as when I try to test it in the app, I get nothing. All drivers are up to date.

  I used Zoom's test meeting and it comes up with a dialog box saying Failed to detect your microphone and speakers. Please make sure your devices are properly connected.

  I have a Dell Inspiron 3521 and new drivers have been installed in the past few weeks, so that may be the source of the issue. I'm using the computer's microphone and speakers.
