Resolved! Zoom Desktop Application Will Not Launch (Windows 10)

When installed, the Zoom desktop app (v. 5.17.0) will not launch. No desktop icon appears after installing (though the app items appear in the "Apps" list and in the "Apps" control panel). When attempting to launch, no item appears in the Windows Task Manager; the Windows "donut of eternal contemplation' appears for a few seconds; then it disappears. I have tried:

 

* Checking internet connection - It is fine

* Cleaning up all temporary and junk files

* Performing scans with virus, malware and spyware scanners

* Rebooting system

* Checking to make sure camera and microphone permission are set properly

* Emptying temporary file folders and performing disk cleanup

* Making sure device drivers are updated

* Launching installer as Administrator
* Uninstalling ALL antivirus and security software

* Closing all applications except the Zoom desktop installer

* Uninstalling and reinstalling the Zoom app from "Apps" control panel

* Using the Zoom Uninstaller to uninstall and then reinstalling the app

* Downloading the installer again, from the official website, and installing

* Uninstalling all Zoom components, rebooting and reinstalling

* Clearing browser cache and cookies

* Booting into "Safe Mode" and repeating the install process
* Checking system requirements - System exceeds requirements
* Checking if system has enough space to install Zoom - System exceeds requirements
* Verifying permission to install the Zoom app - I am an Admin

 

Under no circumstance or combination of circumstances above will the application launch. I saw a recent post suggesting that this was a problem with version 5.16.x, so I tried to find and download version 5.15.11, which worked for the post'er but could not find it on Zoom's site (though I did find infected versions on other, spurious websites, which I did NOT download or install).

 

I would be grateful for any suggestion that would help me get the Zoom Desktop app to launch and run. Thanks, in advance, for the time you spent reading this and for any suggestions you  might have.

 

It is truly amazing that, in the process of selecting locations and topics in order to create a post, there is no category whatever for installation and troubleshooting issues.

Zoom screen sharing not working on Ubuntu 24.04

I have two computers that are both running Ubuntu 24.04 with Zoom 6.4.13 (2309) installed from the .deb. On one computer I am able to share the screen, but on the other, I cannot for some unknown reason. When I select "share" at the bottom of the zoo... Show more

I have two computers that are both running Ubuntu 24.04 with Zoom 6.4.13 (2309) installed from the .deb. On one computer I am able to share the screen, but on the other, I cannot for some unknown reason. When I select "share" at the bottom of the zoom meeting window, it opens up the "Select a window or application that you want to share dialog", but when I select what I want to share and hit the "share" button at the bottom, nothing happens. The same procedure on the other computer then opens up a second system dialog asking me what screen to share and then it shares the screen, but on this computer, nothing happens.

 

What is the problem and how might I go about diagnosing it?

 

Thanks,

David

I would like to bring to your attention a matter of great significance to the Ukrainian-speaking community and users in Ukraine. Currently, Zoom offers a wide range of languages for its platform, ensuring that users from various regions can engage comfortably and effectively. However, Ukrainian is not yet one of the supported languages. The Ukrainian language is spoken by millions of people, both within Ukraine and by Ukrainian diaspora communities worldwide. The addition of Ukrainian language support in Zoom would be a valuable step toward inclusivity, accessibility, and enhanced user experience for these individuals.

 

I kindly request that Zoom consider adding Ukrainian language support to your platform. This gesture would not only be appreciated by the Ukrainian-speaking community but also align with Zoom's mission to connect people and empower them through accessible communication. I understand that implementing new language support may require time and resources, but I believe it would be a worthy investment that benefits both Zoom and its users.

 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to a positive response and hope to see Ukrainian language support in Zoom's offerings in the near future.

This started about 2 weeks ago.  I have to run through speaker and microphone settings every meeting.  I end up back where it was set after testing.  It doesn't matter if I don't change machines or have been on another video conference program before joining Zoom.  Same machine, last meeting is Zoom and I still have to test.  Does anyone have a fix for this?

 

Thanks!

Up to 8 Zoom confidential meetings at the same time from the same Zoom link?

We are looking to host 4-8 confidential Zoom meetings at any given time (e.g., 4-8 different participants in separate Zoom rooms all at the same time) to be accessed by the same Zoom link. We investigated break-out rooms as an option, with pre-assigning and automatically assigning, with the plan being to admit one participant at a time and assign them before admitting another. A potential issue with this is human error - accidentally clicking admit twice and admitting two participants into the same main room could happen in this scenario and that will disrupt participant confidentiality. Are there other options to allow multiple different rooms in a Zoom meeting from the same Zoom link with absolute confidentiality? Or would staff NEED personalized Zoom links?

logitech driver kills zoom audio

Warning about Logitech Webcam driver software. I had Zoom working OK off-line, lost video when joining a call. I installed the latest app for my Logitech C130 webcam. Then I tested - all working offline. The moment I joined a call (test call even) I lost all audio, left call it was OK again.

Solved with a work-around. Open the Logitech app and uninstall everything except the basic driver. Open Zoom, unplug the webcam. Join call, re-plug the webcam. Works, but not ideal.

The problem lies with the tiny microphone in the webcam. The moment your call accesses the video, the Logitech audio driver kills all other audio.

 

Note that the Zoom test call locks up if you have the Logitech app connected, you get a pop-up saying no audio device detected, thern a test menu. That is frozen, can't close, can't cancel, have to close Zoom or wait for time-out on the test call.

 

Someone should test the Logitech latest download and check if incompatible with latest Zoom. The previous "meetings" version had no problem.

Video shows background but not me

I have a logi web cam.  Everything was working well.  I could show my background, however, you can't see me.  While that does have some benefits, it's not very professional.  Any ideas how to fix it?

Hi, I've been trying to get my App Live Streaming on my Zoom. It finally worked to add a channel but still isn't allowing me to LIVE STREAM on my facebook page. It's giving me this error..  ERROR: Failed to Connect to Zoom Services- Please refresh App and try again. Logging out of all streaming platforms and adding these channels again may solve the error. 

I tried what it recommended and it's still not working. HELP!
