How do you share a Google Slide Deck and Play Zoom Music App at the Same Time?

Hello! I'm trying to figure out how to share my screen on a Google Slide Deck and play music via the Zoom Music App at the same time. When I try to do this, the volume on the music in the Zoom Music App lowers despite it being set at the highest volume. My laptop's volume is also set at its highest volume and I'm unmuted. 

 

Another issue I've encountered is when I go to stop the music via the Zoom Music App it says that my screen share has been paused. But, I don't want the screen share on the Google Slide Deck to be paused, just the music. Might anyone be able to help?

Meetings Recordings

Hello,

 

Is there a way to automatically delete recordings after 7 days? Or do I have to do it manually for each recordings?

 

Thank you for your help

Screen Share / Powerpoint Slideshow stuck from viewers perspective

In the last couple of days I've been presented to on Zoom, and twice the screen being shared has got stuck / frozen from my perspective - the presenter sees their slide  progress or moving back to a Powerpoint slide from a video, but what I see stays the same. 

 

Me  leaving and rejoining doesn't fix, but the presenter ending and restarting the screen share does fix

 

Their video of them, and audio, continues fine so its not a total system freeze,  weirdly I can even see their Mouse moving on what they think the new screen is! So might be a powerpoint specific issue?

 

Zoom version incompatibility? New bug? Never saw this before and have been a heavy user for several years.

I have a Mac Mini that does NOT have a microphone. I cannot choose a "microphone" when Zoom asks me to select the speaker and microphone for the particular zoom session. The zoom video opens without any problem but I do not get the audio of this particular zoom session or any zoom session.

 

I cannot find any option on the zoom settings to eliminate a microphone if there is not a microphone available on the computer.

Resolved! Display Name vs Account Name

Hi! Hoping someone can help. I work for a small business and made a pro account. When I send a meeting link, I want it to read -

"Business Company" is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

 

Topic: "Business Company's" Personal Meeting Room

 

But when I join through that same account, I want it to have my name as the display name, not the business account. Is there a way to have these be different? Or do I just have to manually change my display name in the zoom each time? 

 

Thanks!

Scheduling meeting on a linked calendar causes Zoom to redefine Zoom meeting title & recurrence

I am having an issue with Zoom’s way of grabbing recurrent meeting links and making it something other than what I intended it to be. 

 

The background: I have a habit of creating a few recurrent Zoom meeting ID that has a “Meet Anytime” attribute that I use for multiple meetings that have the same theme. For example, consider a case of someone working in academia: when I am consulting clients of a particular service, I have one Zoom link that I use all the time for that particular purpose. When I am teaching a workshop, I have one other Zoom link dedicated to all the workshops I teach. Then when I am mentoring students for project “X”, it will be another Zoom link. So, in my example above, there will be three Zoom meeting IDs that I want to maintain. 

 

The problem happens because I linked my Zoom calendar with my primary calendar, which happens to be Microsoft Office 365. When I paste a Zoom link to one meeting invite (sent via MS Outlook 365), then Zoom syncs in that meeting invite to its own calendar space, effectively creating a new Zoom meeting. But this has an undesirable side effect, that is, the recurrent Zoom ID was grabbed by Zoom and reassigned to that particular meeting. Worse, Zoom also changed the title of that reserved Zoom meeting ID to the title of the meeting. That is not what I want at all! Effectively, this changes my recurrent meeting to become a one-time or time-specified recurrent meeting. The one-time meeting cause a serious trouble, because within 30 days after the meeting, the meeting ID that I reserved for indefinitely recurrent uses will be deleted by Zoom. 

 

Can somebody help me navigate through this landmine? In other words, is there a way to prevent a recurrent, open-ended Zoom meeting ID from being hijacked by Zoom to become a non-recurrent Zoom meeting. 

 

 

How to reproduce: 

(1) Create a Zoom meeting ID on Zoom web platform as a “no fixed time” recurrent meeting. Give a title, say, “My most valued client meeting”. 

(2) Link another calendar to Zoom (in my case, Enterprise Office 365) so I can see the Office 365 calendar events on Zoom. 

(3) From the other calendar, create a meeting invite, and enter the Zoom meeting URL that was created in step (1) above as the “meeting location”. The title should be different from (1), let’s say, the event name is: “Discuss business proposal with CEO of ABC, LLC”. 

(4) Watch how the Zoom ID created in (1) above redefined in Zoom platform: The title becomes the same as the the calendar invite title (“Discuss business proposal with CEO of ABC, LLC”) and the recurrence becomes redefined to whatever (3) says. If it is a one-time meeting, then the recurrence of the meeting coordinate is GONE. 

 

What I want instead: 

Step (3) above should never redefine anything on the “no fixed time” meeting settings.

Audio closes the meeting!!!! Crazy!

The application closes the meeting when I access the audio. The audio configuration tab is not working; also closes. Any suggestions?

Hello

 

I am a FREE USER 

I haven't paid any subscription ever

I have blocked and deleted wrong contact from my Zoom Messager 

I am trying to get that contact back, but it is not working 

 

Asked on google where Zoom has blocked users list 

Google gave me this:

Manage Blocked Numbers
Log in to the Zoom web portal.
In the left navigation menu, select Phone.
Click the Settings tab.
Scroll down to the Others setting section and locate Blocked List.
Select Manage Blocked List.
I don't have anything past ''others''

Nothing at all 

On another search it says ''phone management'' 

I got nothing here 

Just button ''BUY A PLAN''

 

I need to find my BLOCKED USERS list so I can unblock that user and re-add him on the zoom messager 

Do I have to buy a plan to do that?

 

Thank you

I need a good solution for chronic latecomers to my ZOOM online classes. I want to manage attendance by closing the meeting at a certain time. I've tried using the Waiting Room, but my students don't always have robust Internet connection and have had trouble entering. I'm not familiar with the Lock Meeting function. Any suggestions?
