Hello, everyone.

Yesterday, on July 29th, 2025, I made a cloud recording.

I didn't initially enter the online meeting. I was turned to a "Host". Since I was panicked about full storage, I used a Cloud Recording. Everyone noticed that the recording was in progress. Later, as I checked my recording history, cloud recording, I couldn't find that.
As I contacted the customer service, I was told that it usually take 24 hours to process via Cloud Computing. It's been over 24 hours since the meeting ended. There's also not a single email about the cloud recording.

Additionally, my account is Basic account, so I won't get help from anywhere. Does anyone here have solution?

Mini Window pop out when you minimize

It looks like Zoom has determined that the entire world is incorrect with the definition of "Minimize" and has taken it upon themselves to rewrite the definition, for their own purposes. When you click minimize and you expect it to, um, I don't know.... Show more

It looks like Zoom has determined that the entire world is incorrect with the definition of "Minimize" and has taken it upon themselves to rewrite the definition, for their own purposes. When you click minimize and you expect it to, um, I don't know....MINIMIZE, it instead gives you a little useless window that has top focus above your other apps. 

 

Well, here is my personal opinion:  #FAIL

 

It's really just a bad idea.

 

How do I disable this annoying "feature"?

 

Please, for the love of God, just    MAKE.    IT.    GO.    AWAY.

I bought a new laptop basically for conducting Zoom job interviews, but audio will not work in Zoom desktop despite spending hours messing with drivers, settings etc. !!   This is extremely frustrating.  

 

I have a Swift GO 14 lap top (SFG14-71T).

Windows 11 Home came pre-installed on laptop

Realtek driver 6.0.9514.1

Zoom version must be latest as I just installed it 2 days ago

 

Speaker does not work in Zoom regardless of whether I select "Allow hardware acceleration of audio..." and "Enable audio enhancements".

 

Troubleshooters do not fix anything for me.

 

Speaker works fine in youtube etc. and all other windows applications

 

Why does your sound not work Zoom??

Waiting room is enabled under my Zoom settings, but yet everyone that joins my meetings are not placed in a waiting room. I have verified these are not co-hosts. This randomly started happening and it seems the setting is not taking. I have disabled and saved and re-enabled a few times. Still no luck.

This is such a simple problem, I can barely believe I need to ask.  My ZOOM software was many months old, so I installed the latest just now and rebooted my Windows 10 PC.  I started ZOOM as usual, but I only get 1 window, the one with the controls along the bottom.  I have always had a second window, which I use for the speaker, and use the first window for the gallery.  I can't find a way to open that second window. 

 

In addition, ZOOM is not showing the feed from my camera.  In video settings it identified the correct camera, but it is only showing my background;  no video at all. 

 

Help!

Windows laptop, zoom and windows updates all done and rebooted. 

 

Lately if I'm sharing a video with someone - specifically sharing that window - if I flick to another window (to take notes), the screen sharing pauses and/or shows the other person a black box. 

It never used to do this, I used to be able to keep sharing the video while taking my notes. It's really stuffing me around!

I don't want to share the notes window - I just want the window with the video to continue being shared with the other person.

Hi.  For the Zoom account for my synagogue, Waiting Rooms are disabled and Allow Participants to Join Before Host is enabled.  But it doesn't work.  Participants who attempt to log in before the host still get the "Please Wait for the Host to Start this Meeting."  Some setting must have changed but I can't figure out what.  Any idea why?  Thank you.

I have an iPhone 14 Pro on iOS 18 and an iPad Air on iPad 18. When I start a meeting on iPhone it immediately closes it out. Tried restarting phone, checking camera privacy settings, reset the phone settings, updated zoom, changed network, reinstalled zoom, EVERTHING. Nothing helps. On my iPad, I can’t activate the front facing camera but the meeting does stay open. Is Zoom really this buggy? I tried Zoom (with my account) on my wife's ipad that has iPad 17 on it and everything works.

I am trying to connect an external mic with iPhone and while most of the other apps like voice memo, etc recognizes the mic and works on that mic - while connecting to Zoom meeting, it uses the iPhone's in-built mic and does not use the external mic. I tried looking up settings but didn't see an option to switch the mic. How can I switch the mic that zoom uses?

I was recently in a meeting which was hosted by someone else which ended suddenly. I then saw the message "This free meeting has ended".

 

Previously I have always see a message warning me that the meeting will end soon eg 10 minutes, 5 minutes.

 

Just curious if anyone else experienced a basic (free) meeting ending without warnings?

 

Thanks
