When I share my screen, the overlapping parts turn black. I want to avoid this. Please tell me how to avoid it. I am using a Lenovo ThinkPad X13. Thank you very much.

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The problem was that the graphics card driver provided by the computer manufacturer was outdated.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

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.

The option to use avatars and filters has disappeared from my desktop client. I checked that they are enabled on my account, and when I host meetings others can use them, just not me! The only options are for virtual backgrounds and studio effects. I did sign in and sign out in the desktop client, and uninstalled and reinstalled Zoom. I have not switched computers (using Windows 11), although I moved a month ago and do have a different internet provider.

I am getting frequent invites to zoom sessions that I have not requested, signed up for or otherwise asked for. 

The invites are coming from zoom .

I do not see any ability to unsubscribe in the invite. want to stop getting these eMails, please let me know how to do that.

FYI, the support chatbot turns 'Unsolicited Invites' into 'Heres how to invite someone'. All I want is to stop receiving invites from this source.

Hello, I want to use the spotlight feature and it is not listed for me. I have looked up the directions on Zoom's FAQ but the option is not available for me in the noted ellipsis. Can anyone please let me know why this might be? Do I need a specific package in order to use this feature?

Hello everyone,

I have a Meeting Pro account that I used to log in with a Gmail address. Wanting to change my login method, I accidentally removed the permission to log in with a Google Gmail account from my profile. Now I can no longer log in and I can't contact technical support without login. How can I contact technical support without being logged in ?

Thank you for your help.

Hi - We are currently in a Zoom meeting, via our YeaLink device, that was set up and administered by someone else.  When we carried out a test the camera came on and we could hear the others. When we joined the meeting, the camera was on and we could hear everyone else.  Suddenly the camera went off and we could not turn it back on. We can still hear everyone.  Can anyone advise me what to do to turn the camera back on without leaving the meeting?

Thanks
