Unable to download meeting recording files from Cloud recording link

Hi! 

 

I recorded a meeting on the cloud, then shared a link with the passcode with the participants, and they were able to view it online, but they also wanted to download the files of the recording, but the download started and stalled at 1% before timing out. This was an issue both for the meeting participants and myself, if viewing it through the link. Any idea what might be causing this? I checked the recording sharing settings on my Zoom account and it is enabled for downloading for anyone viewing the recording. 

 

I was later able to download the files from the Recordings section on my account and share the files in a different way, but this is obviously not ideal, as it requires the use of WeTransfer or a shared folder I can access. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Resolved! Spotlight For ASL Interpreter In Recording

Hello - trying to see if this is a capability. We have a student who joins our calls live and has an ASL interpreter join every call. We spotlight the interpreters, but they do not show up in the recording when our instructor is sharing their screen. They don't speak, so they obviously don't show up in speaker view, and they don't show up in gallery view either when I download the replay. Is this a capability in Zoom to be able to see both spotlighted participants when someone is sharing their screen through the replay?

Camera brightness adjustment

How can I control camera brightness?  Are there better quality cameras that have brightness and zoom-in controls?  I constantly have over brightness problems.

How do I use my polls?

I cannot find where to implement my quizzes or polls in  my meeting that is currently in progress.  The AI bot was less than helpful.  I have three quizzes created.  Please help.

Alternative host creating polls

I am an alternative host on a pro account.  When I am in a meeting created by the host I am unable to create or access polls. There is no poll option.  The account owner has granted me polling permission. Help please.

How a Virtual Dinner Turned Into a Zoom Nightmare

A few weeks ago, I decided to host a virtual dinner party with some close friends. We planned everything—everyone cooked their favorite dish, we set up our cameras at just the right angles, and we even tried to sync our meals to feel like we were in the same room. Everything was going smoothly until… Zoom started acting up.

First, my audio kept cutting out. Then, half the guests couldn’t see my video, and someone’s screen froze right when they were about to show their homemade sushi. It felt like a scene from a comedy movie—except we were all hungry and frustrated.

I couldn’t help but wonder, is there a better way to optimize Zoom for smoother video calls, especially when multiple people are streaming at once? Have any of you faced similar tech hiccups during virtual gatherings? Would love to hear tips on making these online meetups seamless!

Multi-speaker view - remove / un-spotlight finished speakers from view

I love the "new" multi-speaker view in typical Q&A type meeting. Except for the fact that the speaker lingers on screen long after they're done and they're often unaware that they are still on screen. It would be great if Zoom had a "remove" person f... Show more

It would be great if Zoom had a "remove" person from multi-view feature that Hosts and co-hosts could use to remove them rather than waiting on the Zoom timeout ...
