Hi,

I've really tried everything, but it's still not working. I did the following steps—could you please check if I missed anything?

1. I’m using the Pro plan and I want to create a meeting via API where two other participants can join without me being present.
2. To achieve this, I disabled the Waiting Room in my Account Settings.
3. I understand that I must enable either a passcode, authentication, or a waiting room. So, I set up my API configuration as follows and wrote a Python function accordingly:
   
   
   def create_meeting(access_token, row😞

       url = f"https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/me/meetings"

   
   

       headers = {

           'Authorization': f'Bearer {access_token}',

           'Content-Type': 'application/json'

       }

   
   

       start_time = row['meeting_date']

       start_time_iso = start_time.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")  # ISO 8601 format

       alternative_hosts = ",".join([row["email1"], row["email2"]])

       data = {

           "topic": f"{row['type']} with {row['nick1']} and {row['nick2']}",

           "default_password" : True,

           "password" : "123456",

           "type": 2,  # reserved meeting

           "start_time": start_time_iso,

           "duration": int(row['time']),  #by minutes

           "scheduled_for": row["user1_email"],

           "settings": {

               "join_before_host": True,

               "jbh_time" : 0,

               "mute_upon_entry": True,

               "waiting_room": False,

               "auto_recording": "cloud",  

               "recording_audio_transcription": True,

               "allow_multiple_devices":True,

               #"alternative_hosts" : alternative_hosts,

               #"alternative_hosts_email_notification" : True,

               "authentication_exception" : [

                   {

                       "email" : "***********",

                       "name" : "myname"

                   }

               ],

           },

           "calendar_type" : 2

       }

          

       response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

       if response.status_code == 201:

           return response.json()  

       else:

           raise Exception(f"Failed to create meeting: {response.json()}")
   
   
   Anyone who can solve this??

Annotate icon was never present during my screen share meetings before.  Now that it is here, it is anchored in the bottom left and I cannot find a setting to disable it for the host(which is what I would like to do).  I host meetings where I display server logs, and all linux commands for navigating are typed at the bottom left of the screen - directly behind the annotate icon that now displays along with the green outline.  The green outline can be turned off, but annotate apparently not.  I can no longer see the text I am typing in the bottom left of a server log.   Why can I only disable annotate for attendees?  What if I don't want it at all?  Can I at least move it?

A guy wanted to information interview with me so I sent him a Zoom link. As he was entering, it showed his name with otter.ai after it then his login. We got talking about where the third person was for the meeting and then I forgot all about it. 

I later got an email from otter saying the "live recording" had been posted. WTF? I assumed the guy had recorded it without my permission (I'm in a two-consent state). He called me and said "I have no idea what you're talking about." 

So, I now know what otter.ai is and does - makes transcripts and recordings. All well and good. But how the heck did a plug-in (or whatever it is) run when neither of us have ever heard of it or triggered it? The only app I have (and don't even use) is Timer. And how do I prevent this in the future? 

I work with Android devices (Samsung s24 ultra, Samsung Tab 8+) and need an external usb microphone (wireless microphone with USB-C receiver) for video conferences. Although my external microphone works perfectly with other applications, this is unfortunately not the case with zoom. I haven't found a way to disable the built-in tablet microphone and use the external microphone. I am very much looking forward to a solution to this problem 🙂

When sharing a screen, the Zoom windows, such as video panel and floating meeting controls, appear as gray boxes. They are still visible in the screen share even if the Show Zoom Windows when Screen Sharing feature is turned OFF. A month ago they were "invisibe" to my students, this bug has started on the latest version 6.3.5 (54827).

Is there a way it can be fixed and become "invisible" again?

I have big issues in organizing my meetings.

Years ago I defined three meeting and selected "meeting anytime"
This three meetings appeared in the Zoom App at the bottom as "reccuring meetings"

Now it is no more possible to set up a meeting like this. Reccuring now means in a stuborn pattern like 10 o'clock ever 1,2,3,4, days, week or month.

But the worst is, that two of the three meetings are no longer displayed in the "reccuring meeting" section.

The Meeting Links and Codes have been widespread to my audience, therefore I can not set up another meeting with diffrent credentials.

Second the regularly planed meetings still apear in the Zoom App, but without the option to start the meeting, The links are missing.

In the screen shot, one can see the two section.
The first section with my meetings, not able to quick start from the zoom calendar
The recurring section, with the missing Meetings. Actualy the last one, the Awaken your SOUL Meeting is a reccuring meeting and it is now set to every month, but I need it to be set to "reccuring anytime"

When updates do worse than better...

I'm running Windows 11 64bit. Zoom version 6.3.6 (56144). PowerPoint - MS Office Home 2019. I want to share a ppt presentation with meeting participants. After launching the presentation and sharing with participants in presenter view, they see my slides and notes instead of just the slides. Also, when I advance the slides manually, their view is stuck on the first slide... I have tried several different settings in both Zoom and ppt. This problem started when I did the last Zoom update to the current version. Please help.  

Hello,

I hope one can answer my question. I worked for Company A and set a custom personal link to "mycustomlink". Now I work for Company B and would like to set my custom personal link here also to "mycustomlink". I can save it but there's a notification about this not being global as it was taken already.

Both companies using SSO hence my custom link contained the company name. Which would suggest me that I'm creating "non-global" custom links. Or perhaps the first time a custom link is created it will be global and after that you can only user the same link as local?

Thanks
