Hello,

I am running the Zoom silicon client on a Macbook Pro M3 Pro. I use an Anker PowerConf 200. Since updating to 6.0.x, I get the spinning beach ball and then encounter an error when I join a meeting about 95% of the time that says my background isn't loading, and do I want to continue. If I open the meeting using my default laptop camera, I get the same error when I try to change to my external camera.

I then get an error in a window saying that my mic won't work and everything freezes. I have to leave the meeting and try again, which sometimes works but not always. Sometimes I have to reboot. Sometimes I can get away with restarting my finder and killing the Zoom client.

This *only* happens in Zoom. It does not happen in Teams. It does not happen in Google Meet. It does not happen in Facetime. 

However, once it happens in Zoom, I have to restart my entire system to use my camera again in another app.

Thanks for any insight

When you have the waiting room enabled, and there are people in the waiting room, you will get a pop-up on the bottom right of the screen.  It tells you there are # people entered the waiting room. It has a button to view.  

We want the waiting room but with 10 or so co-hosts managing a large Zoom with multiple breakout rooms. we hate the pop-up on the bottom right that tells us there are people in the waiting room. We know they are there. That pop-up gets in the way of us answering the chat!

It is so annoying and I don't see a way to turn it off.   Attached is a screenshot of the notification that we desperately want to turn off! 

I used to be able to share desktop (rather than share PowerPoint) and then position my webcam where I wanted it, then stretch to enlarge the webcam to the desired size, and the recording would capture the large webcam because I had positioned in on my shared desktop.  See examples attached.  Now, when I try, the recording always just show the default webcam small size in the upper-right.  How can I achieve the desired result which is to show position and stretch the webcam larger and get it to appear as such in the recording?

My audio keeps dropping out in the middle of meetings. I quite often have two meetings back to back, the first one this evening was fine, then the audio cuts out during the second then this message appears, "low system audio may affect your audio quality. Try closing down some applications to improve performance" I don't have any other  apps running on my laptop, I've closed everything down, I even make sure the cloud isn't backing up in the background. So what could it be???? It's becoming very annoying as I rely on this for my business. Could it be something to do with the Zoom apps? I would appreciate someone getting back to me. Many thanks.

I am looking for a way to use an avatar instead of me, and an in real time speech to speech voice generator or voice distorter within Zoom. Is there a way to do that? An app or program that would work within Zoom?  I like teaching live, yet with a certain population I need to neither be seen nor heard.
