Starting in early May 2022 I am no longer able to screen share any video content.  over Zoom. I believe this is due to steps the streaming platforms, e.g., Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime, and Kanopy have taken to deter folks from sharing movies, though, oddly, I can find nothing about it on Google. As part of this effort, I read on a Reddit post that Zoom will now deliver screen shared video content only in lo-res. This will prevent me from showing my Art Ed Keynote presentations. So if anyone has more info on this, please get back to me.

I belong to a group that meets every single week.  Participants join the meeting by entering a meeting ID and an associated password.   The current Host represents a single point of failure, but has been reluctant to share the Host Role because of stated concerns about "hackers and trolls."  (I don't get the connection, but... )  My thought is that we simply set up the regularly, recurring weekly meetings using the Meeting Room feature so whoever is the Host has to admit any participant before the participant can enter the meeting.  Is this correct?  Are there other options?  Am I missing something?

I am curious if there is an option or setting to allow the host to force a participant into a break-out room? I believe that when break-out rooms are created and opened, participants need to 'join' their assigned room (or there's an option to join a room of their choice).  However, can someone be moved into a breakout room without them needing to select 'join'?

I'm having trouble signing in using Zoom Cloud Meetings 5.16.6 (382) for Linux.  If I sign in with SSO, I am prompted to log in using my browser, and then the Zoom Cloud Meetings client says "Connecting...".  After ~30 seconds, the Zoom client goes back to the login screen and displays "Timeout".

Recording of problem 

I use a proxy, which is configured in the Zoom client.  I have tried various combinations, including manually configuring.

Looking at the connections that are being made by zoom, I see:

~ $ cat /tmp/strace | fgrep connect | fgrep htons 11:53:57
433620 connect(93, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80), sin_addr=inet_addr("136.226.18.24")}, 16 <unfinished ...>
433620 connect(93, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80), sin_addr=inet_addr("136.226.12.24")}, 16 <unfinished ...>
433619 connect(93, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80), sin_addr=inet_addr("136.226.18.24")}, 16 <unfinished ...>
433681 connect(110, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.229.211.108")}, 16 <unfinished ...>

136.226.12.24 is our proxy.  129.229.211.108 appears to be part of the edge cast CDN.  So, Zoom appears to be connecting to this address without using the specified proxy.  I can't be sure that this is the cause of the timeout, but it is the best explanation I have at the moment.

Is anyone able to login on Linux with a proxy?

Thanks,

Edward
