My company has standing zoom calls every MWF. I have the outlook invitation, so I can join there. but there must be a way to add that to the desktop client (I think it should be possible anyway).

 

It's just annoying to have to open the invitation in my calendar, click the url that opens a new tab to finally open the desktop client for me to join the meeting.

 

Can I just integrate these recurring meetings that I did not create into my desktop client of zoom? All my meetings I create show up there, just not these I was invited to.

Meeting Notifications

I have the ability to schedule meetings for several of my companies managers. However, I continuously get notifications (more often from the Zoom app on my cell phone or apple watch) for any meetings that they start on their own. Is there a way to turn these notifications off but still keep Zoom notifications and privileges. Can you turn off meeting notifications for the individuals you are a scheduler for? This would save me from the constant interruptions.

 

Thanks!

Zoom "disappears" when moving to breakout rooms

I host meetings with 150+ participants and not all of them are very tech savvy, we'll say. We ask that they have Google Chrome open for another function of our meetings, but it basically just runs in the background all day; it's not something they need readily accessible, just open. 

 

What I've found is that a lot of times when I open breakout rooms, Zoom becomes the background app and the participants end up looking at their chrome window. Some of them throw an absolute fit because they can't figure out how to get back to the room. Is there a way to stop this from happening, and ensure that zoom will stay as the main window they see when moving to breakouts?

mute some participants, but not all

Is it possible to set up a meeting so some participants can mute and unmute themselves (or I can do that as host); but others MUST stay muted? I have a committee that I want to be able to interact on Zoom, but many in audience that are "listen only" Show more

mute all on host re-entry to main room

My problem is ruining my Zoom experience.  I set my Zoom to NOT mute Zoom participants on entry.   The last 4 or so times Zoom has done an update, it has started doing this:  If I as host go to a break-out room (which I do often during a day), I and everyone who returns to the main room thereafter is muted on entry.  My mere exiting to a breakout room triggers the "mute all on entry" setting.  It is extremely disruptive because no one - including myself - thinks they will be returning to the main room muted.  Once we frustratingly realize Zoom has instituted this setting on its own, we have to unmute and repeat ourselves, and I must uncheck the 'mute all on entry' feature again.  Then every time I go to a breakout room, it starts all over again.

The first 3 or so times this happened, it corrected itself within a week.  This most recent time it appears here to stay.  How can I stop this??

Hello. As I have a Chromebook, support for the Zoom app ended a couple of weeks ago.  I host a weekly meeting with up to ten participants, including myself.  I have a paid account. 

At my first meeting with the new App last Wednesday (7th August) my own video was invisible to the others once everybody joined.  They could all hear me. Towards  the end of the meeting, one of the participants left early; as soon as she left my video became visible.  This can't be a coincidence!

Before she left, there were nine participants, including myself. 

Have I missed something? Do I need to change some setting or other now I have the new app?  Or maybe the participant number has been changed with the new app? 

I also experienced connection issues during the meeting - has one else in the community experienced this too?

Thank you in advance for your help.  

(I'm in the UK by the way)

Does anyone know what Zoom setting (portal or registry) governs the HD video enable/disable?  We know the registry key that will turn on/off the capability but the field is grayed out.  What setting is causing the field to not be editable?  Ideally we'd like to keep the setting turned off (which we know how to do in the registry) but allow people to turn it on but since the field is grayed out, we can't.

Unable to launch or edit polls as host

Initially when I start a scheduled a meeting, I am able to edit and launch polls as host. However, when another user joins the meeting using the same login credentials and becomes co-host, the host is locked out of launching polls. However, the co-host often (but not always) has the ability to edit and launch a poll. This seems to me to be a bug with Zoom. Why can't the host continue to be able to launch polls?
