Hello,
on the meeting half of the group is advanced and half is beginner. I need to pair one beginner with one advanced per room. Is it any automatical way to do it without manually creating the rooms and assign certain participants please?
Hello, I am trying to generate a meeting registration report, and when I enter the meeting ID or the date of the meeting it shows no data. These meetings are within the last month so I don't understand why they are not generating. I would appreciate some assistance! 🙂 Thanks!

I have been using the feature "PowerPoint as background" for a few years and I have never had a problem in sharing my slides that way, and stopping and restarting the share with the same slide deck. Over the last month, if I stop the share and try to restart using the same slide deck, I get a message that says, "This file is in use. Enter a new name or close the file that's open in another program." The PowerPoint file is not open on my laptop or in any other programs, but I can't reopen it in Zoom. I would appreciate guidance in solving this issue as I love this feature and use it frequently.

I would like to make a kind request to Zoom Company to make the Arabic Language Translation (اللغة العربية) available on Zoom. Many Native Arabs use Zoom to deliver their lectures and host their online conferences. And unfortunately, they do struggle ALOT in utilising zoom appropriately due to langue barrier. This will be a great opportunity for zoom to expand as this will attract many users to utilise this platform more safely and conveniently. Please do consider my request and I promise you, you will NOT regret it. Kind Regards
(Those users often rely on very small number of individuals to teach them how to open the zoom , mute/unmute participants during meetings and download recordings from the Cloud).

Hello, I join my company's zoom meeting and become the host. I am responsible for creating breakout rooms. Lately the scroll bar of my breakout room window disappears which makes it hard to set up a larger number of rooms. It happens sporatically it seems. The account used for the meeting is not mine. It is my bosses' and no one else has this trouble. Any help would be appreciated. We are using zoom workspaces and would have the latest updates installed. Thank you

Our company has some Zoom Rooms, but most employees only have meeting basic accounts. is it possible for those ‘basic’ users to book a Zoom Room for a meeting that goes Beyond the normal 40 minutes limit? If so, how do those users make that kind of booking?

I have users that are experiencing poor audio quality when in Zoom meeting (video works just fine). Looking at the audio network tests, the users are seeing anywhere between 20-70% receive packet loss. I cannot figure out why this amount of packets would be dropped coming into the workstations. Teams and GoTo meetings are perfectly clear.
We utilize Fortigates running 7.2.4 and have created policies that are not performing app control, deep inspection, etc. We also have Cloud Genix SD-WAN devices running 6.0.1 and I have created a policy forcing all Zoom traffic out a single connection. We still receive the 20-70% packet loss and it appears to be only when using Zoom meetings.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues? Any help/suggestions would be great.

I recorded my first meeting and cannot find it anywhere. The meeting was scheduled by another user and I joined her link. I pushed the record on my side but thought the recording would be saved on her end since she scheduled the meeting. Anyhow, I have checked for the recording and nothing exists. This meeting took place 6 days ago. Please advise on how I can retrieve it. It's very important.

I have searched at both the Zoom Admin level and the user level to find the recommended solution provided by @CarlaA to this issue, and the solution doesn't exist. When I search for the keyword Merge, I get this response: No Setting Found. I have people at my organization who DO NOT want their calendar and Zoom meetings to be merged mainly because they are responsible for setting Zoom meetings for other leadership in the organization, and they need to be able to quickly go in and find what they need and fix it. I need a solution to this issue. Please advise.
