I am the manager of a state government agency that is convening a series of public meetings where simultaneous interpretation is available.  We are conducting the meetings in English and Spanish using Zoom's simultaneous interpretation feature.

 

We would like to make recordings of the meetings available in both English and Spanish.  However, there does not appear to be a way to simultaneously record in both languages from one device.  When we attempt to record the meeting from two different devices, with one device recording in the English channel and one in the Spanish channel, we are not able to do so.   The system appears to default to do a single recording (which has always been the English channel).  This single "master recording" happened even when we tried to record onto two different devices, with one recording to the cloud and the other to a local hard drive.

 

Is there a way for us to do two separate, simultaneous recordings of the same zoom meeting, with one in English and one in Spanish?

Hi. Whenever I joined a zoom meeting, on this same computer, I always check that box "Remember my name on future meetings", because I need to change my name every time I join Zoom meeting

 

However, after that meeting, in the next one, it reverted to previous name

 

it's so annoying that I have to change the name over and over, and that check boxes seems no use.

 

I try to log in to my account, but it shows my full name instead of "display name". Force me to delete the last name just so Zoom will show my display name.

 

But the problem is, when I join zoom meeting by links, it's not signed in

So, I need to change my name manually again. So annoying. There's no way zoom remember my name for future meetings.

I've been unable to sync one of our users cloud recordings with their correct title under the "Topic" section. I see that some of them do have the topic but most do not, they have "Google Calendar Meeting (not synced)". We use Google calendar with the Zoom add-on tool. So for I've tried removing and re-adding the Zoom add-on tool, signing the user out and back in of the tool, toggling the bi-directional sync option in their Zoom account and re-enabling permissions on the Google calendar side and so far nothing gets updated in their cloud recordings. We've also installed the Zoom app for Mac and have the latest version of Zoom installed and we still can't get it to sync with the correct "Topic" title

With dual monitor, sharing PPT slides in Presentation View, how do you see Gallery View of Students?

I'm trying to learn how to use dual monitors and share the Presentation View of PPT slides, which allows me to see the notes for each slide while sharing the other view without the notes. The problem is- I can't see the gallery view any more of the attendees, so if I want to interact with a specific student, I have no idea who is out there? 

Do I have to share the 'normal view' of PPT slides to be able to see the Gallery View of participants?

 

Also, a secondary issue, when I try to share the 'normal view' of PPT slides, sometimes the screen share 'auto-pauses'.  When I send students to 'Breakout Rooms' for a group task, usually, the previous screen share process has stopped, and it has to be restarted. The restarting process can throw fragments of screens around on the desktop views of the students, which is less than desirable.

 

Any thoughts on how to address this? Getting pretty frustrated here.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I have Zoom meetings with an office colleague and we share screens all the time.  When she shares her screen, out videos are shown at the top of the screen she is sharing - instead of on my second monitor.  I want to see our videos on one monitor and the shared screen on the other.

Hello, 

I have a question about sharing a particular screen using hotkeys.

I use a stream deck in my Zoom meetings, and often, I use the notes section on my external iPad to draw something out for the other person on the call.

Using the stream deck, I can use the 'share screen' function (as a hotkey), but then I have to manually select (with my mouse) the 'advanced share' function to use my iPad notes section for the screen share.

Can I bypass the manual aspect to automatically share the 'advanced share screen'?

I have contacted Stream Deck support, and they have directed me to Zoom.

If there is a hotkey function on Zoom, I can get the streamdeck to use it.

I really appreciate any help you can provide. 

James

We receive many zoom meeting invites. One of our conference rooms a teams room and sometimes, we would like to have the meeting in that room. I have searched for how to add the teams room to the invite but it appears only the host can do that. We tried to forward the invite to the teams room but it just started a team meeting, not a zoom meeting. 

 

So, can an attendee add a teams room to a meeting and have the meeting show up in teams room as ZOOM?
