Sharing desktop when using two monitors in Zoom meeting

When I share my desktop in a meeting and am using two monitors, do the screens from both monitors share? If so, how to prevent this?

Hi, I am interested in knowing if Zoom's subtitle feature supports bilingual subtitles. Specifically, my query is twofold:

Is it possible for other meeting participants to see French subtitles automatically generated when I speak in English?
Conversely, when French is spoken by other participants, can I view the corresponding English subtitles in real-time?
This feature would be incredibly beneficial for our international meetings, fostering better understanding and communication among participants who are not fluent in the language being spoken.

I would greatly appreciate any information you can provide regarding the availability of such a feature, or if there are any workarounds or third-party tools that you might recommend to achieve this functionality.

Mic problems on Android

I have the latest Zoom and Android updates. My mic connects and I can communicate with a group once. Then, I am unable to be unmuted again. I have to restart the entire phone to reconnect.

I am not the only person with this issue. 

I have uninstalled/reinstalled from the Play store. I have done the same but installed from Zoom site. Nothing. I cannot uninstall Zoom directly from my phone. I get a Package Loader error.  I am afraid that I may need to factory reset my phone - and I really don't want to do that.

 

Something is gravely wrong with either the Zoom update or how Zoom plays with the Android update. 

 

Hope someone looks into this soon.

Hello Zoom Community!

 

I've had a connection issue for my Online Zumba classes ramp up again this week...on Monday and tonight. I test my Internet speed before classes which is fine (Usually 50-100 mbps). In the early portion of class, the class was disconnected from Zoom. Then the window connected again in a few seconds. The meeting stayed connected for the duration of class. It had been a while since I've had this issue...but it happens in waves.  

 

After class, after apologizing, I asked my class members about the video quality and was told it was lagging a bit. This is another issue the reoccurs from time-to-time.

 

I've googled these issues and have read that other log-ins Internet can affect their Zoom experience as well. It's very frustrating! Have any of you had this issue? Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

 

Thank you SO much!  😊

Screen text notification when someone joins the meeting

I run a meeting with several participants that join at various times during the call. Is there a way to enable an on-screen message that displays the name of the person that just joined? I do get the audio 'ding' but that doesn't help me because that only tells me someone joined, not exactly who joined. I've seen this on another zoom meeting I was on, but cannot figure out where I can enable that for my meeting.

Resolved! Participant videos freezing

I have used Zoom for over 19 months with no issue. Suddenly, in the last 3 weeks, my clients videos are freezing, I can hear them but can't see them. They can see and hear me. I have tested the internet connection speed and have done the check from multiple locations. I have a feeling this started after my last software update. Anyone else experiencing the same? BTW this is happening with multiple groups of clients. 

 

Thanks!

Hello,

I hosted my first Zoom meeting today, earlier I was only joining Zoom meetings hosted by others. Unfortunately, it was at least a partially not-good experience for us. I am aware that partially it could have been related to the fact that I was the host for the first time and one of the users did not have experience with Zoom. But still, I would like to investigate the reasons for this because, at least partially, it seems that the cause was that Zoom is insufficient "user friendly". Firstly, I started the meeting earlier than planned to be able to help participants let in, even though I did not know how I would be notified that two participants were waiting. To make sure they do not wait, I checked the meeting settings and unchecked the option "give permission to participants to join meeting". However, they said they were still waiting in the waiting room and I also waited online in the meeting not knowing that they already arrived. Finally, one of the participants called me and told me that they needed to be admitted and, to my surprise, that there were apparently "two Zoom meetings scheduled instead of one". I immediately admitted both participants (even though they should have been able to join without me approving them) and, even though I was able to see and hear one of the participants, the second one could not be heard. Perhaps there was something wrong with his audio settings so we can leave it but my questions are :

1) Why I did not receive any notification (neither in Zoom nor by email) that participants are trying to join the meeting? If there is no notification, how should I know that participants are waiting in the waiting room?

2) Why there were apparently two different meetings scheduled even though I scheduled only one? I do not know if it may have impacted the situation, but I registered my Zoom account using one email address, but I used another email address as a participant. Also, I scheduled this meeting from the computer but started the meeting initially from my phone. However, at least by common sense, this should not make any difference.

Further, not being able to hear one participant (who I believe did not receive any prompts from Zoom to fix audio settings to join), we switched to WhatsApp, but this time the others were unable to hear my voice, even though before the conference one of the participants called me on WhatsApp and was able to hear me. Finally, as this meeting was important to all, we moved to Microsoft Teams.Interestingly, none of the participants had even the smallest issue and everyone joined teams and the whole meeting went almost uninterrupted. I supect the next time our team, if we meet again, will prefer Microsoft Teams over Zoom but I would like to still get some feedback on how we can improve our experience with Zoom, especially regarding the answers to two questions above.

Thank you!

Mirek

I've followed all instructions for using Powerpoint as virtual background.  My zoom client is updated, My computer itself is updated (Windows 11) .. it should work.  BUT the Powerpoint button is greyed out and won't let me add Powerpoint as a virtual background (so that my image video is part of the presentation)    I can do the usual share screen, but the advanced tab simply won't let me add Powerpoint .. as stated above, it is greyed out and not letting me use it.
