I have a Zoom meeting with a panel of three to four speakers and two people doing signing. The people signing will be changing every 15 minutes. My plan is to spotlight all of the panelists and the person who is actively signing. I planned on using "Replace Spotlight" when they pass off every 15 minutes. I cannot see how I can designate who the new person is replacing when I hit "Replace Spotlight"; it removes all Spotlights and just makes the new signer as having the Spotlight.  Looking for a solution.

Hope this makes sense.

Dear Zoom Support,

I am a licensed paid Zoom host, and I am experiencing a serious issue with annotation tools on the Android app.

I no longer have access to the Text (T) tool or the full set of 12 colours when annotating while sharing my screen.

My annotation options are now limited to Pencil, Spotlight, Pen, Highlighter, Line, Rectangle, Oval, Undo, Redo, Clear, and only 5 colours (yellow, green, red, blue, black).

This happens on both my Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 and Samsung Galaxy A73 phone.

I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Zoom, but the issue remains.

Strangely, my students still have access to the Text tool and more colours on their devices, while I do not, even though I am the paying licensed host.

This problem makes it very difficult to run my classes, as I rely on annotating shared documents (not the whiteboard).

Please can you confirm if this is a bug or an intentional change to mobile annotation tools? If it is intentional, it seems unfair that licensed hosts on Android have fewer options than participants.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I look forward to your reply.

Kind regards,

Nicki Goldsmith

I was designated as a Panelist on a recent Zoom meeting where I was to share my PowerPoint with the audience.

The Host and I did a “sound check” before the start. I was able to click on “share sound” and my PowerPoint. The Host confirmed that she could see and hear my presentation, as well as the sound of the embedded videos.

Then the Host asked me to stop sharing so she could verify if her PowerPoint was working. After she did this, I went back to my presentation and found that I could no longer share my sound. I could see the option to share, but I couldn’t click on “share sound”. Also, the choices for screen sharing had decreased.

I was able to share my screen, but could no longer share my audio. What would be the solution to this problem for future reference?

I’m using macOS 15.6.1 (24G90)

Thank You!

We are currently working on a project in our team where we need to transfer video recordings from Zoom Cloud to our own servers. Our plan is to use the Zoom API to download and then delete these recordings. While testing, we found that the API endpoints which return download links for recordings respond with an error about missing scopes (e.g. [cloud_recording:read:list_recording_files, cloud_recording:read:list_recording_files:admin]). However, when we open our app in the Zoom Marketplace, we cannot find these required Cloud Recording scopes in the Scopes section. Our current app is of type Meeting SDK, and from Zoom documentation and community discussions, it seems that Meeting SDK apps do not support Cloud Recording scopes. Instead, the app type must be Server-to-Server OAuth in order to use these scopes. Could you please confirm if this is the reason why we cannot add the Cloud Recording scopes? And if so, is the correct approach to create a new Server-to-Server OAuth app for accessing and downloading cloud recordings?

The zoom microphone does not work on my laptop. The zoom speakers do work.

I have carried out trouble shooting and in my laptop settings it gives zoom permission to use it. I have tried all the trouble shootings, none solved this issue.

My laptop microphone has been tested and it works. There is no reason why after checking everything is correct why there is no sound from the microphone. When I test it it is silent.

Any suggestions?
