Zoom service Scheduler is not generating a link, not on the confirmation screen, no on the confirmation email, no on the administrator profile, no on the meeting section. I tried myself, and coworkers, the link is not there. HELP!
I bought a new computer in May this year and it comes with Windows 11. Everything are fine but when I was at zoom meetings, my computer frequently freezes. Before the freeze, there was a dialogue box saying "your microphone didn't work". Also, when someone shared a song with me, the sound is intermittent. Please help.

I used to be able to record short videos of my students talking or reading in the free version. Now I get this message (attached)...my student is getting ready to record and we can't do it, it's a nuisance.
Thank you.

Can alternative hosts add emails to a recurring meeting? I can forward individual meetings to people, but I can't add people to the series.
I’ve been having this issue for quite some time. If I am in in a meeting and I am using my shure MV7 and I have it plugged in USB into my computer and a pair of headphones are plugged into the microphone which plays both myself into the headphones and everyone else in the meeting. So the MV7 is my mic and speaker. It’ll work fine for a while but after a couple of minutes of listening to someone else in the meeting, the audio starts cracking terribly and if I switch my speaker to the computer speakers, it stops. Obviously, I’d rather hear them in my headphones so I don’t have to mute myself. Any ideas of what the issue is?

Is there any ability to support an external webcam on an iPad for zoom meeting. Not looking at screen sharing an iPhone, but connecting a Logitech Brio 4K using USB-C on an iPad Pro
I use Fedora34+Gnome40+Wayland (which is the default for Fedora), and I use Zoom (5.8.0 from rpm install). You can only share an Entire screen and not the single application window with Zoom on Wayland. This feature is only available on the legacy X11/Xorg platform, while Wayland is the default on any major Linux nowadays (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE,...). Do anyone knows the roadmap for fixing this? "Linux sessions utilizing Wayland can only share an entire desktop or whiteboard. In order to share just a specific application, you will need to launch your Linux session with Xorg instead." (https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362153-Sharing-your-screen-content-or-second-camera) But this does not answer the question: when? ThanksAre there plans to fix the Wayland support?

We want to do a poll where the host and alternate hosts can see poll results, but when we share them during the meeting we don't want participants to see names connected to answers. Do individual responses stay hidden from other participants in sharing poll results or is there a setting we have to use to select that?
