Over the last 12 hours, I have received emails from two different colleagues, inviting me to their Zoom meeting as an alternative host.

 

They have since informed me that on setting up the meeting, a lot of other staff members automatically popped up as alternative hosts.

 

Has anyone experienced this before? I understand how to manually add/remove alternative host emails from a meeting, but I don't understand why it is auto populating seemingly random colleague emails in, on set up of the meeting.

 

Thank you!

Hello,
I am an adjunct instructor who teaches remotely. Unfortunately, when I share my screen with my class (which is the vast majority of the time), the participants see a black box where the Zoom controls and participant tiles appear on my screen.
In an attempt to fix the problem, I tried sharing the screen with both the video optimizer on and off. This did not fix it. I also updated all of the drivers on my laptop. This did not work. Moreover, in my research, many people mentioned that this problem was specific to Lenovo laptops, but I have an HP laptop.
Could you provide some guidance on resolving this issue?
Thank you in advance,

Install Zoom via Winget as system user

Dear All,

 

I'm currently working on an automated install script for MDM Intune.

Here is documentation >> Using 1 Intune to rule all Winget Apps – VAN-DAAG
Current issue is when you install zoom via SYSTEM account (other apps are working)
it installs on location:
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Zoom

So its not available for all users. (NON)
I was hoping by adding --scope machine to the script it will solve. but not.
.\winget.exe install --id $PackageName --scope machine --silent --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements

If you install it as User. its installed for that user. But then it is not reported in Intune that its installed. because its in user profile.

Are there other solutions via Winget? I don't want to build something with the MSI file when there is an update.

 

Kind regards,
Daag

Hello everyone,

 

Since it appeared as a Beta-option, I have been a keen user of the "Screen share > advanced > Powerpoint as a background" feature, which has always worked well so far.

 

However, when I tried again yesterday, the clickable area with the text "Powerpoint as a background" on the "Advanced" tab  was not clickable anymore, and it showed a warning symbol with an exclamation mark. The other 5 options on the "Advanced" tab seem to work just fine.

 

I tried this on my desktop, as well as on my laptop, and with the same result: no access to the "Powerpoint as a background option" anymore.

 

Anyone has an idea what the cause of this is, and how it can be solved?

 

Many thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Error when reporting spam + error in account status for support

Hello,

 

I'm at a bit of a loss and so frustrated right now - during a live Zoom call today, a spammer got through the password and showed inappropriate imagery.  In trying to report this individual after the Zoom meeting, I continually get a "501 internal error" from Zoom every time I try to complete the reporting process.  I've tried this on several devices.

 

Then, in trying to contact support, I see that I'm not eligible for direct support because, according to support, I'm on the basic/free plan.  I am, however NOT on the free plan, and paid for a year of Zoom Pro, which is detailed in my billing history.  Somehow, the wires are crossed.

 

Can anyone help me break through this mess?

 

Thank you kindly for your help!

Virtual background is still loading

I have been using virtual backgrounds without issue since March 2020, but in recent weeks I have sporadic issues with Zoom failing to work with any virtual backgrounds. When I turn on the camera, the feed stays black until a pop-up comes up saying that the virtual background is still loading and asking me to start video anyway or stop. I can not ever get the background to work.  Unplugging and reconnecting the webcam, changing ports on the dock, restarting Zoom don't work. Using the mic on the webcam never suffers any issues and works even when the feed is black while Zoom is apparently attempting to load the virtual background.  Once I click on "Use video" button and ignore the virtual background, the camera works without issue though obviously without the virtual background.

 

Setup is USB Logitech webcam attached via VAVA USB-C dock on 2019 Macbook Pro running macOS Big Sur 11.4. Zoom version is 5.7.6. 

 

Has anyone else encountered this or have ideas for fixes or workarounds?

Help,

Up until now my zoom meetings have worked fine. Now on my end the other person talks, sounds come in/out, speaking through a voice box, and like a gargled sound. Anytime I use zoom this happens. 

We tried troubleshooting with the audio settings to make sure whatever we were using was selected. Made sure everything was up to date.  We even tried different headset, earbuds and that didn't help either.  

The only way we've got it work is the other person calls me on my phone and use camera on laptop. 

 

TIA
