The meeting I participate is announced publicly and occasionally has bombers come to disrupt the meeting. One of their tricks is to raise and lower their hand rapidly. Currently, that makes them jump around in the participant list and thumbnails, making it more difficult to select them and remove them.

 

A simple feature that would be helpful would be to have available is a throttle on raising hands so that after raising and lowering a user's hands multiple, say 3 times, within a threshold timeout, say 10 seconds, the bombers would be unable to raise their hands for a period. It would not need to be a very long throttle to be effective, perhaps even a minute block would be enough for the feature to be useful.

 

It would be a feature that would not have much impact on our intended participates because it is so temporary and is an exceedingly rare behavior for normal meeting attendees.

I'm the host of the meeting. Before, joiners are able to take notes using their AI taking notes participants. I always allow them to join and take notes. However, the pop-up window that enables them to join no longer shows, and the zoom chat states just says "Waiting for the Zoom host's permission to begin taking notes and recording". Thanks!

So I am on a zoom meeting now, and I am not looking at the screen that they share, instead I do something in the browser. Why does the zoom window every now and then pops up on my screen and is the only window seen? This didn't happen in the past and now out of a sudden it shows on my screen when not asked to. Is this a bug? If not, how to turn this off?

The idea to move the Zoom title as an icon and then put it in the menu bar is very distracting. 

Is there a way to make sure it never is displayed? 

 

I will just make sure I quit the app every time ). 

 

just a horrid/arrogant design choice. For you zoom is the most important thing in the world, but not for your users.

Last night on a zoom program about art, I was zoom hacked. We were well into the program and someone started scribbling over the slides. Then the scribbles turned into nasty words. Somehow I was able to stop it and then it happened again a few minutes later. Someone identified who had done it so I removed that person from the meeting. (It was only a first name and don't think there is anyway to tie it to an email.) I then clicked on every button on my dashboard to enable all possibilities of further interruption.
 
Wondering if anyone has a checklist of steps to ensure this does not happen? For example, only allow the host to screen share, disable white board, disable collaboration, host tools, etc. I had no idea there were so many ways for evil people to interrupt.

Resolved! user on basic vs pro

If a basic plan user starts a meeting with a paid plan member attending, then transfers hosting to the paid plan member, will the meeting be able to go longer than 40 minutes?

Hi, I'm a music teacher and I'm always struggling with my students' config of their Original Sound For Musicians. They are mostly children who struggle with the configuration and it takes a lot of time to do it and we waste class time. Some of their zoom versions don't have the option to activate Original Sound For Musicians, specially when they are on the web version, or in android, cellphones or tablet. Please, allow to activate it (OSFM) with just a button in the main interface as the mute button all the time without going into the audio settings setup, it will be a lot easier and we don't need to waste time by setting it up.

Also, we as teachers (hosts) of the meeting should have a button to ask for activation (Original Sound For Musicians) as we do to ask them to start their video or open the mic (with the button request) Please, add this configurations! It is really bad not to hear our music students in class, this is a very bad thing from Zoom. We need to hear them properly all the time!!! Please, develop a better quality sound for this video meetings for the music education sector!!
