I turned on the "auto record" feature for 1 week because I didn't want to forget to record during important meetings.

But it turned out I didn't want it to record as soon as I started to log in.  I want to record when I am ready and when I want to record.

 

However, I could not remember WHERE to turn this switch back to OFF.

Can any one here help me?

I have combed through the Settings at least four times, and I have not seen anything related to Auto Record.

 

Thank you.

Zoom for linux requires sudo to run on arch -based system

I have been trying to install zoom for linux on an archlinux based system, EneavourOS. I am following the instructions here https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0063458. I downloaded the latest version viacurl -L https://... Show more

I have been trying to install zoom for linux on an archlinux based system, EneavourOS.  I am following the instructions here https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0063458.    I downloaded the latest version via

curl -L https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.gz -o zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

then ran

sudo pacman -U zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

The installation proceeded without error, but when I try to run zoom nothing happens at all.  No GUI, no error message, nothing.  On a whim I tried "sudo zoom" from a command line, and it works!  It seems  zoom requires root privileges to run.   That seems wrong to me.

I thought maybe there is a group I need to belong to to have the correct privileges, but I added myself to nearly all groups that seemed relevant and that didn't help.  

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light!

 

Some details in case they are relevant:

- zoom client version: 6.2.6 (2503)

- EndeavourOS version "Neo" (the latest)

- lxqt desktop

- hardware: lenovo thinkpad X1 gen 6

Using Center Stage on Mac Studio with Studio Display

I have a Mac Studio with an Apple Studio Display. Can I use Apple's new Center Stage feature in a Zoom meeting, and if so, how?

I have connected an external camera with audio to my laptop USB.  I can see picture.  I can see audio mic is working but I can not monitor my external mic.  If I do a zoom meeting others can hear my audio but I can not.  I want to be able to check that the audio is OK. Other programs easily allow me to monitor camera audio but ZOOM is not letting me.

Resolved! AU2 policies/auto-update not working as expected

I deployed 6.0.10 to an endpoint with the following... msiexec.exe /i "ZoomInstallerFull.msi" zConfig="AU2_EnableAutoUpdate=true;AU2_SetUpdateChannel=1;AU2_EnableShowZoomUpdates=true;AU2_InstallAtIdleTime=true;AU2_EnableUpdateAvailableBanner=true;AU2... Show more

I deployed 6.0.10 to an endpoint with the following...

 

msiexec.exe /i "ZoomInstallerFull.msi" zConfig="AU2_EnableAutoUpdate=true;AU2_SetUpdateChannel=1;AU2_EnableShowZoomUpdates=true;AU2_InstallAtIdleTime=true;AU2_EnableUpdateAvailableBanner=true;AU2_EnablePromptUpdateForAU2=true;AU2_EnableUpdateSuccessNotification=true" ALLUSERS=1 /qn /norestart /log output.log

 

Zoom installed successfully. This version was intentionally chosen as it is slightly older than the current version 6.2.5. The option above AU2_SetUpdateChannel=1 was included as I understand this should install the latest available version.

 

After waiting a few days, nothing happens on the endpoint. Zoom is open and has been running for hours, even overnight. Zoom has certainly been "idle" enough to trigger the update, but nothing is happening.

 

Separely, we also have GPO's applied to this computer (not user), which are shown below

RemoteDesktopManager_2024-10-24_09-59-57.png

What am I doing wrong? The documentation is unclear when talking about deprecated policies and the introduction of the newer AU2 policies.

 

I have read elsewhere that the auto-update won't work if Zoom is installed in the system context (ie C:\Program Files), not the user context (ie %appdata%). Is that correct?

 

The problem with the user context is when users don't login to that same computer for a few months (our workforce is very mobile) they will have an outdated version of Zoom in their profiles. I know, this isn't a major concern, but it plays havoc with vulnerabilities scanners. 

 

I would prefer Zoom to be installed in the system context, which is easier to manage on shared workstations. Chrome manages it by having a service or scheduled task to update itself. Heck, even Adobe has worked some black magic to allow users to upgrade Creative Cloud apps installed on the system without needing admin rights.

Zoom uses absurd amount of memory and CPU

I've been having this problem for months, but today I upgraded to version 6.2.3 (Linux, Ubuntu) and it got much worse. I was recording a Zoom meeting and I noticed lag when writing on the whiteboard. I opened `htop` and saw that Zoom was using the CPU at almost 100%, ALL the memory (that's 24 GB) and also all swap memory (2 GB). I was forced to kill Zoom and restart it. This makes Zoom practically unusable.

I run zoom for a church with 5 cameras and 6 microphones. Is there a way to make it easier to change cameras and mics rather than clicking on the little arrow and scrolling to the right device? 

 

Can I sync them so I can change the camera and the mic automatically changes as well. 

 

I would rather not use  a secondary program like OBS.
