I organise a weekly Zoom meeting for people all around the world to practise different languages, at the moment I just post the same repeating Zoom link (and passcode) on all our social media channels and that's how people join, however I think this a) leaves me a bit open to bad actors joining the meetings and causing havoc; b) if I ever wanted to make this a paid meeting, or send out recurring emails, I don't have anyone's contact details to get in contact.

I'm just interested to hear any ideas on how better to structure this in terms of a) safety and control; and b) going forward being able to encourage donations or offering other services to people who attend.

Should I for example set up registration on Zoom first for people to participate?

I'm experiencing an issue when setting up a virtual background on my laptop. My appearance becomes very poor, as if half of me is transparent and filled with the virtual background. This wasn't the case on my previous laptop. On my previous laptop's Zoom, my appearance and the background were very neat, with no parts of me being cut off by the virtual background filter.

I've checked and found that there's an option to select the color to be filtered for the virtual background, but the results are still poor, forcing me to use a green screen to achieve a good filter cut.

For your information, I use the latest zoom version, there is not update waiting, and my previous laptop had an Intel Core i5 8th gen, while my current laptop has an Intel Core 3 100u (not the core i3). In terms of specifications, the newer laptop is not a low-end one, so why is the result so different? Also, there's a message stating that my device (laptop) is not compatible with the virtual background. Please assist me, thank you.

Hiya so I'm having a problem during online music classes where I am unable to hear the teacher playing music due to the background noises being suppressed however I am the only one in the meeting who cannot hear the music! Other members in the meeting can, and the teacher has the original audio for musicians setting on. It's like my computer is the only one that doesn't know this setting has been changed. Struggling to find a fix for this as everywhere is just suggesting to make sure they have original audio on which they do! And I can hear the music when joining on my phone just not on my laptop. What can I do?

Hello,

I do not have a 'reactions' button on the bottom of my screen anymore.  It may have disappeared since the last update, but I am not 100% sure.

I am in the middle of a two-day meeting as an attendee.  I have an account through my workplace.

I cannot find a way to indicate a 'raised hand'.  I can submit a screenshot , but I can't see an option to attach it. 

 I use a MacBook Pro, and I believe I was on Chrome today, but I also have Safari as an option.

Suggestions?

Thank you!

I am a single Zoom Account user with a single family Microsoft 365 account, not a workplace acount.  The directions given to switch over to the new authentication protocol using Nested App Authentication (NAA) just don't work for me.  Can someone please direct me to a workflow that works? Windows 11, Updated Zoom, current Microsoft Family 365 account. 

I like to record Zoom meetings for podcasts, but my computer has lately been restarting itself randomly. I'm worried that if it does this while I am recording, I will lose all the material I have recorded. Is there a way I can prevent this from happening in the event my computer does restart spontaneously during a recording? Will it make a difference if I record locally or to the cloud?

Please reply soon as I'm doing my next recording this Sunday! Thank you.
