Click on the audio settings in the settings, and it will be automatically turned off.

When joining a meeting, it will automatically exit and cannot join.

It turns out that the old ZOOM version is normal.

I just posted this commented on a more general thread Problems with the Zoom update but realized my issue is specific enough to probably be a separate post.

 

Problem details
Three times during a 30 min zoom call, camera turned off without me noticing because my mic was still working normally. Each time, my iphone pinged (even on silent) and I saw a screen asking me to give permissions for my phone camera. Can't figure out why it's switching over, zoom app is not open on my phone. I am signed into the same apple account on both devices so that explains how it's switching to my phone, but not why it did it in the first place.

 

I was typing notes so maybe I pressed a button by accident that caused the switch? But I'm not aware of any shortcuts for this, I didn't know that using the mic on my laptop and the camera on my phone at the same time was even an option.

 

Troubleshooting
I am a frequent Zoom & Discord user and have never seen this before today. I tried sitting in an empty zoom meeting for the 5-10 mins I spent writing this post to see if I could replicate the issue, but I did not experience the camera switch.

 

This morning when it happened, I always noticed my camera was off after someone stopped screensharing. It might only be happening when another participant shares their screen? When someone screen shares, zoom switches to fullscreen for me, then switches back when they stop sharing. Maybe the mac camera is disconnecting during the switch and then Zoom tries the next available camera instead? I'm not actually sure if it's a zoom issue or a mac issue, I haven't updated my MacOS or iOS in a while and looks like my Zoom version is from Jan 2024.

 

Device info
Zoom version 5.17.5 (29101)
2019 Macbook Pro, macOS Ventura 13.6.1 (22G313)

iPhone SE, iOS 17.4.1

Landscape vs Portrait

My video is showing Landscape only. Although I have changed it to portrait several times and rebooted. Same landscape screen. Anyone out there to provide guidance. I'm on a Mac Pro.

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.

Low system resources error

Wondering if others are having the same issue.

This started about January 18th.  Never had an issue before.

I have not changed anything on my laptop. there is plenty of space on it.

What is going on?

 

Thanks

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?

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?
