I have two USB mics to add to my PC laptop mic. Other articles refer to iPad settings. But my Zoom interface only allows for one at a time. I'm just using the simple Zoom login. Do I need to use a different Zoom program. Are Zoom Rooms different from a simple Zoom program?
Some articles say to just add them.

The color on my zoom picture is correct. Just discovered that the people I talk with see the colors very differently. My green curtains to them are blue. My yellow wall to them is cream. My clothes to them look blue or bright orange. They see my face as very white and glowing. This is with anyone I have a zoom call with. I'm using a plug and play Thronmax camera. This didn't happen with my internal webcam. Ideas welcome, and yes, I'm getting another camera to try.

Hi, I've got an Ubuntu machine with multiple known-good sound input devices but put no sound into any zoom meetings. Both my built-ins and multiple USB devices, all tested with multiple other apps. Interesting thing is, in the Audio Settings panel of Zoom, the actual input (the little input bar) seems to detect input from all these devices but not in actual meetings. I've read several threads with people having this problem but found no solution here that seems to work. Is there a bug report form?

I have been through Settings and in advance settings looking for a link to connect my live Zoom with my Facebook account. However every video I've watched is not helping. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Thank you
I have been seeing an error on multiples machine (Windows/Mac) completely up to date where you start zoom and the video starts (built-in webcam on laptop) but if you switch it to a different camera that you know works, it says video cannot be started, so if you switch it to yet another source it will still say video cannot be started but if you try to switch it back to the built-in webcam it will not longer work. you will need to end the meeting, quit the app and start again just to get it working again. i have not seen this posted anywhere else mind you these are plug and play Webcams, (no additional software or drivers needed) do work.

Participants are not able to join a password protected recurring meeting. After the participant enter the correct* password they get the message "host will let you in soon". However, as a host they do not show up for me to let them in... Any solution to this problem? It's starting to severely interfere with our company meetings.

We usually host hybrid meetings, with a PowerPoint presented where the in-person attendees are, that we share with the remote callers. I have a laptop connected to an external big screen monitor. In the monitor I want to show the remote callers ("speaker view"), and the PowerPoint when the moment comes. I have tried the setting of Dual Monitors on the desktop app which creates two windows. One window shows the remote callers and the meeting controls, the second one only shows the local attendees. When I start the PowerPoint slide show, it shows on the same big screen where the remote callers and controls are. Basically, the "second monitor" which creates a second window all it does is show the local attendees, I don't need that. I can look around the room and see the people myself. Is there a way to have meeting controls and the PowerPoint application on the laptop screen, and the remote callers (that would show up on the second Zoom window) and slide show on the big screen? Thanks!

Im running the latest client of zoom, on Mac OS 12.1. Attempting to use a Black Magic Design ATEM Mini controller, to feed HDMI Video, and Audio, into the computer over USB. Now Ive tested and my Mac fully sees the incoming audio and video feed no problem and with full clarity. When I set the zoom settings, I can use the Black Magic Webcam correctly, however when I try to use the Blackmagic as the microphone, it allows me to set it, but the input volume slider goes to zero. When I drag it higher, it automatically goes back to zero as soon as I release it. Interestingly when I hold the slider higher, zoom can see the audio data on the green volume bar. Also note I have auto volume disabled. I need this fixed ASAP as I have a broadcast on Friday. PLEASE HELP!
