Clicking SSO doesn't redirect me to organizations login page

We use SSO login at work, and it has worked just fine both at work and at home. However, the last few months it has happened that I'm not able to log in on my home desktop, sometimes it work but sometimes it doesn't. What happens is that I launch Zoom, it tells me that I need to log in and I click SSO, and I'm shown the "Join Meeting" dialog instead of my organizations login page.

 

If I log in to zoom in a browser, using SSO, and start a meeting I'm offered to launch the Zoom app, if I click OK then  the zoom app is launched and it at least looks like I'm logged in. But when I close the meeting, I'm back to the "sign in" dialog - so it seems like I'm not logged in after all.

 

This has happened a few times, the first time I was able to fix it some way ... but I don't remember exactly how. The second time, I contacted my organizations zoom support which had never heard about this problem before and couldn't help me. Somehow I was able to log in after having "logged out all devices", removed all the preference and settings files I could find, and reinstall Zoom.

 

Today, it was the third time for this problem and I can't figure out how I can log into my account using the Zoom app. I've searched my desktop and removed all settings/prefs/cache files I could find, reinstalled Zoom, etc but I still get to this "Join Meeting" dialog when I click SSO instead of being directed to my organizations login page.

 

I haven't seen this at work, only at home - on both places I'm using the latest version of macOS.

 

I have no idea what the problem could be and I appreciate any suggestion for what the problem could be and how to fix it.

Just downloaded latest zoom and the TEST MIC button filters out my acoustic guitar though my voice through the same mic is clear and good. The audio chain (mic, interface) is fine. I enabled original audio and high fidelity option. I set echo cancellation to low. I updated and restarted my Mac. I restarted zoom. I’ve googled a million answers but my settings mentioned above are correct. When I play guitar during TEST MIC, I see the zoom squashing the level bar. Zoom is clearly squashing my acoustic guitar. My guitar is in tune. 🙂 Any other ideas? Thanks!

Annotation is not working. Settings are correct

My settings show annotation enabled.

 

But it is not working when I'm in session with my students.

 

It is vital for my teaching.

 

Any responses/ideas are greatly appreciated!

Resolved! Feature Request: Ability to Disable Waiting Room Mid-Meeting

Hi Zoom Community,

 

I’m a longtime Zoom user and paying customer, and I want to raise a concern about the rigid controls around the Waiting Room feature. While I understand the importance of security, the current setup creates significant challenges for real-world use cases, particularly for large webinars and meetings.

 

My Situation:

 

•I recently hosted a webinar with over 400 participants.

•I wanted to use the Waiting Room at the start of the session to admit my initial group of attendees.

•However, I found that I couldn’t disable the Waiting Room mid-meeting, meaning I had to manually admit participants throughout the entire event.

 

This was incredibly disruptive and impractical, especially as a presenter trying to focus on delivering content.

 

Why This is a Problem:

 

•The option to disable the Waiting Room during a meeting is grayed out, forcing me to manage admissions manually for latecomers.

•I understand the focus on “one security measure,” but this is unnecessarily rigid for scenarios that don’t require extreme security.

•Many users, like me, need flexibility in how we manage the Waiting Room feature—starting with it enabled but disabling it later on to streamline the session.

 

Suggested Solutions:

 

1.Allow hosts to toggle the Waiting Room on and off mid-meeting.

2.Offer a time-based auto-disable option (e.g., the Waiting Room automatically turns off 10 minutes after the meeting starts).

3.Reconsider the “one security measure” rule—it’s overkill for many non-sensitive meetings and webinars.

 

Why This Matters:

 

For professional users managing large groups, the inability to disable the Waiting Room mid-meeting creates unnecessary friction and diminishes the user experience. It’s not just an inconvenience—it actively undermines our ability to use Zoom effectively.

 

I’m hoping Zoom will prioritize this kind of flexibility in future updates. In the meantime, has anyone else experienced this issue, and are there any additional workarounds you’ve found helpful?

 

Looking forward to hearing from others and hopefully seeing some improvements soon!

 

Thanks,

David

Since the last update (not sure when, likely in April?), some participants see a popup message on their Zoom in the top left corner during a live meeting that says "Confirm your speaking langauge" "It sounds like you migh have switched to a different langauge. Please update it so we can provide better-quality transcription".  (See attached).  Something seems to correctly be picking up when they switch from English to another language.  It does not seem to happen all the time, or to every person who speaks another language.

 

We are running a learning activity where transcription, recording, etc. is not permitted, and no one has any of this turned on. This message is causing concern to participants. Is there a setting or some other way to prevent this message from appearing?

I have a client who has a large amount recording in their app.  The updated to the latest version and all of the recordings need to be converted for some reason?  They are currently in .mp4 format and play when you click them manually but not thru the app.

 

There is an option to convert and states it can not find the files double_click_to_convert_01.zoom 02 etc

 

Whats the point of this?  Will they still play natively?  How do I convert the files?

 

Thank you.

I am trying to figure out how to allow an executive admin to trim their bosses Zoom meeting recordings before it is shared out with others.  Have tried setting as alternate host.  Even created a role based group and added both her and the boss into that group and allowed recording management privileges.  She still cannot see the scissors on the recordings especially past meetings. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to allow her to see and edit recordings of her boss.

I have tried restarting my camera, switching cameras, selecting reset to all settings, and also generating other virtual backgrounds. In addition I have restarted Zoom and my computer many times. I cannot get this virtual background to go away. I must be missing something simple and easy. I am hoping that someone can provide me the easy answer to fix this.
