Hi,

I'm an independent contractor meeting with customers every day over Zoom, and I just got a new M1 MacBook Pro as much of my business is done on Mac. However, as I now run parallels since M1 Macs no longer have access to Bootcamp, I'm encountering an issue I never had before. Zoom no longer allows me to have virtual backgrounds up which is a problem as I work from home. It just says, "your devices does not support virtual backgrounds". This doesn't make sense as I can use them just fine when running on the Mac side of things. And yes, I know I run both Mac and Windows simultaneously on it, but it's a lot easier to have them both on the Windows at the same time for what I do. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

We are a small non-profit with one Zoom Pro license that we use for meetings and workshops. I am starting a new program that will involve up to 20 different small-group, peer-led meetings throughout each month. I would like for each small group leader to host the meeting (with screen share and recording capability). I know I could start each meeting as host, make the group leader co-host, and then leave, but that's a lot of work and I'm doing this on a volunteer basis. Are there any alternatives that won't require us to purchase a license for each individual group leader? That would be cost-prohibitive for us. 

For example, could we purchase one more Pro license, add all of the group leaders as users, and use that to assign them as Alternative Hosts when we schedule the meetings?

Thanks for your ideas.

I go to a few meetings that are held on a regular basis and the meeting ID and passwords are always the same along with the day and time. So, what I would love to be able to do is save all the meeting information and then when I am ready to log onto them I have all the information saved in like a phone book and just click on JOIN next to the one I want and connect to the meeting!  How can I do that?

If ZOOM does not currently do that, I was havijg trouble finding the feature request section if some colus SHOW ME where it is I would be grateful!

Thanks!

I frequently use the remote control feature. Today the student could manipulate the shared screen but I could not see what she was doing. She was also unable to type. Any reason or way to fix it so that I can see what she is manipulating. I have used this feature many times in the past without issue.  Help?

I use Zoom (via a link) in Safari 18.3.1 on macOS 15.3.2, but always encounter issues:

1. The connection is always unstable.
2. The video freezes, and the audio lags and stutters.
3. When I try to share my screen, Zoom shows the Zoom tab instead of the tab that I have selected (if I have selected to share a window) or the entire screen (if I have selected to share the entire screen).

Notes:

• These issues are unique to Zoom and do not affect Meet or Teams.
• Turning off wifi and switching to a phone hotspot helps somewhat, making me wonder if Zoom somehow changes the settings based on the connection. But again, I have no issues with Meet or Teams on wifi, so the issues are unique to Zoom.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to use the Shared Polls feature announced in Zoom meetings version 6.3.  While I see the share to option, and the Sharing interface comes up, I cannot find any users to share to!  I tried both email address and display names of known active users in my account.  Adding a user to my personal contacts did not make a difference.

Hi all,

I have always been able to give remote control to another person but now the button has disappeared. I have checked my settings, uninstalled and reinstalled the app but its simply not there? I can see this has been a problem for a lot of people but has anyone solved it? 

Thanks in advance of any help - needed desperately in a few hours!

I attempted to join a previously scheduled meeting where notice was posted the meeting was canceled.

After entering the meeting number and passcode the following statement appeared on the screen:

"Host has joined. We've let them know you're here"

I waited about 30 minutes and was not accepted to the meeting.

I interpret this to mean there was a meeting in progress, or at least the host had opened the meeting for participants.

Is that true?  Or is the "Host has joined" statement a boiler plate response and nobody is really on the other end?
