As remote work continues to be prevalent, finding ways to make virtual meetings more engaging and productive is crucial. Zoom has several features designed to enhance collaboration. What features do you find most useful for keeping team members engaged and collaborative during meetings? Are there any lesser-known tips or tricks you can share that might not be immediately obvious to all users?

When I am in Zoom meetings, I am told my mic sound is fading in and out to users in the meeting and this is happening when I record meetings.  I don't think it happens when the meeting is not being recorded but I am not 100% sure on that one.  Is this a known problem for this mic Rode NT1 5th Generation when in recorded meetings that I am recording?  In desktop Zoom app settings under Audio Advance Settings, I changed Signal processing by Windows audio device drivers to Off Windows Raw instead of Auto but this did not help.  Any one got any ideas how to get this microphone to work in Zoom meetings that I am recording to stop it from fading me in and out as I talk to others?

Is there a way to set an automated zoom usage report after each meeting occurrence? 
Use case: We have several reoccurring meeting each month that we need to track attendance for. Usually the program facilitator likes to use their own link so that they can be the host and ensure the setting are correct. Then the facilitator has to send the usage report to the coordinator for attendance tracking. It would be awesome to have this as an automated email. 
Another alternative that would be beneficial would be to allow access to reports by all co-hosts. I know I can schedule a meeting on behalf of another user? Why not see their reports too? 

I uploaded the most recent version of Zoom and deleted to old version. When trying to open the new version, I receive the message: 

You can’t open the application “zoom.us.app” because this application is not supported on this Mac.

How can I resolve this?  I have a meeting in 1 1/2 hours.

thanks

I was unable to join a meeting today despite entering the meeting ID and passcode from my own account page, getting a "Sign in to join this webinar" message every time I hit the join button.  

I have a Chromebook and use Google chrome as my browser. This is the first time I have ever encountered this issue despite using Zoom links from the same company twice a week, every week on the same device. 

I then noticed that despite having the "stay signed in" box ticked on my sign-in page, Zoom never keeps me signed in, so I was stuck in a loop of always getting the same message. The host sent me a direct link and I had the same issue:

"The host requires authentication on the commercial Zoom platform to join this meeting. Please sign in with a commercial Zoom account to join."  Previously, hitting the sign in hyperlink on this same message automatically signed me in and took me to the meetings no problem.  What's changed? Is there anything I can do in settings to stay signed in. 

I now need to use the phone app to access meetings, but this is a temporary measure not usually allowed at work.

😡 Zoom, Why is Your Mac App a Nightmare?

I click the meeting link, expecting to join smoothly. Instead… nothing. The Zoom app opens, but every option is blacked out. I try to quit—nothing happens. I attempt to force quit—no luck. I even try to uninstall it—impossible. 😨

Zoom Just Made Me Miss My Meeting!

For the past year, Zoom has been a disaster on my MacBook. The app often refuses to launch properly, and worse, it gets stuck in a limbo where I can't quit, force quit, or even uninstall it. The only fix? Restarting my Mac in Safe Mode to prevent Zoom from auto-launching so I can uninstall it, and reinstall.

I’ve uninstalling and reinstalling countless times to fix issues. But now, I can’t even uninstall it! As a business professional, I don’t have time to troubleshoot software every single time I need to join a call.

🚨 Enough is enough. I'm switching to Google Meet. 🚨

I need to be able to join a meeting within minutes, not spend 10+ minutes battling a broken app. Searching Mac forums for solutions—only to find hundreds of other frustrated users experiencing the same issue for years—makes me wonder: Why should I keep dealing with this?

Until Zoom fixes this, I’ll be pushing my company toward Google Meet. Maybe one day, Zoom will release a truly Mac-friendly app that meets the same standards as software in the Mac App Store.

Has anyone else had to jump through hoops just to get Zoom working?
