This seems so simple but I can't figure it out!  I tried to join a zoom meeting using the link I was provided.  That took me to the meeting directly without having to log into the app (I have a free account).  I wasn't admitted bcse my name wasn't displayed.  Even though everything I read said that if you join through a link, it will give you the option to enter your name, that option was not there.  All it would allow me to do was to turn the video and mic on/off and to join. I tried copy/pasting the link into my browser but nothing changed. So I tried logging into & joining the meeting through the app, but I was not provided the meeting ID, so couldn't.  This is a link sent by a large organization that holds hundreds of zoom meetings so I'm sure this is me, not them.  I've asked them to provide the meeting id next time if possible, but in the meantime, what am I missing?

Very often when I click a join zoom link the client hasn't been open before and then decides that it would be a great time to perform an update.

This has already lead to me being late on several meetings. 

This is inacceptable. Please prevent updates from delaying calls.

Hello community, this week we upgraded our plan from our account to one with Large Meeting. The question that arises as a team is if now all our meetings are Large or we have to activate the option in each meeting, if so I can't find the option to make our meeting Large. Help

I'm trying to use the free version of Zoom to record demos with audio and screen capture. I start a new meeting, share a screen, start recording, talk through and perform the demo steps, stop the recording, then convert the captured data to an MP4 file. Problem is that the recording shows a box in the upper right area with my name in it. Is it possible to avoid having that box in the recording? I've looked through all the settings I can find and don't see anything that solves it.

This is on Windows 11, Zoom Workplace v6.1.12 (46889).

Thanks in advance.

Zoom is not very accessible for Deaf students like me. Every time I join a meeting or a class, I must use an iPad with my MacBook so that I can pin the interpreters to full screen on my MacBook's Zoom app while the iPad Zoom is set to automatically spotlight whoever is speaking or showing the slides. The sounds on both MacBook and iPad are already disabled, but whenever a zoom meeting starts, it bumps up the iPad's sounds.

I got in trouble in the library today because I didn't hear it and got scolded by the staff. I know I turned the volume off before I started the meeting but for some reason the Zoom app forced the volume back on. How do I completely kill the sound from the iPad zoom app? I need the sounds disabled so I can use the iPad for my class this semester or else my grades will suffer.

My iPad is Mini 6th generation with latest iOS and latest Zoom app.

Is there a way to force users into a breakout room without them needing to click the "join" button? No matter what setting I change it doesn't seem to affect if that message appears or not. Some of my meeting attendees are automatically moved, while others still receive the dialogue box. 

To expand on that - if the suer doesn't accept the invitation to the first breakout room I am unable to assign them to another. There is no option to move them around if they don't accept the first one.

Overall - how do I turn off their ability to accept and just force them into the room?

Thanks!
