Issues with Zoom in Live Learning Environments

We are experiencing issues at our virtual school when attempting to run live meetings through the Zoom app.  Is this due to the most recent update that needs to run?  The image shows pixelated.  In some cases, sound does not work.

No video for participant

I just hosted a zoom meeting on my laptop with one other participant. Her video wasn't working and we couldn't find any settings to fix it. I have a Pro account and haven't had this problem before. Afterwards I remembered I had hosted a zoom meeting on one of my phones yesterday. Did I need to be signed out on my phone for zoom to work properly on the laptop?

When I tried to access support via live chat I got the message that I didn't have the type of account with access live chat. Did that change recently for Pro accounts?

Hi, I would like to use my shared screen (currently using Onenote) as the virtual background, wondering if this is possible pls? I write quite freely during my lessons, so using Powerpoint as virtual background doesn't really work for me.

 

Intention is to have a 'human cutout' of myself talking next to the screen as I'm writing - think this makes for a more immersive learning experience.

 

Any advice is greatly appreciated, tks!

 

Cheers

I had been having difficulty with intermittent video stability.  Have Windows 11 and laptop.  Went to support.zoom.us and then to zoom support and looked at the zoom installers.  First choice was zoom desktop client for meetings and when I downloaded that file the video issue resolved (I rebooted the computer after the download).  Went an entire hour without any issues.

Camera

My camera is not working on my new laptop on zoom.   The light is on and I can see them, but they can't see me.  How do I check set up?  Learning center directions are different than what my screen looks like.  I uninstalled and reinstalled zoom too.

Resolved! Profile Names in Meetings Display Then Disappear

When I'm on a Zoom call, the names of participants display for a second or two and then disappear. I have to keep moving my cursor over the main window to bring them back.

 

Is there a way to keep the names on for the duration of the meeting?

when i select a background photo for my virtual background, Zoom retains for a day, then it defaults to my office.  I've a laptop with an attached keyboard, screen, camera, & mouse. 

 

this problem arose only about two weeks ago after Zoom did an update. previously i added a photo which Zoom retained until i chose to change it which periodically i do.

 

i believe that there is something in the update that is causing the problem. i contacted my IT person and he said there isn't anything he can do because he agrees it has to do with the update.

For training purposes we have set up that employees automatically record meetings because we often forget. We've been through the entire step by step process under the recordings tab and it's working great. The only issue we're facing now is that it's not necessary for all meetings to be recorded specifically internal meetings. I clicked the button under "Recording Notifications" > "Ask host to confirm recording" assuming that a pop up would appear where the host could confirm whether they would like to proceed with the recording or not and that is not the case.  Is there any other way to set up automatic recordings but the host be notified to confirm before proceeding?

 

Thank you!

Performance

Anywhere zoom posts performance metrics?  We have had performance issues with sound and video on Zoom video conferences and it would help with identifying root cause (if on our side, internet latency or with the zoom service specifically).
