Computer Recording

I computer recorded my meeting today and now I can't find the file anywhere. I have checked all the ways to access it and nothing shows up.

 

Any way to recover quickly?

I can no longer claim host when I join a meeting

Until about 2 weeks ago, I could join a meeting and then access the "Claim Host" button through the Participants button. What am I missing, or what's changed? Thanks

My zoom sessions drop off and come right back on often.  If it does it a second time in the same meeting, I have to sign back in and then there are 2 of me on the screen, until I take back the session as leader.  I have multiple 30 minute sessions during the day (8-10) and this happens in probably 3 out of 10 sessions, sometimes more.  I get a message from zoom to report it, but this has been going on for more than a month.

For the past few meetings I had, the videos of participants are all squashed to the top left of each "box" of where their video should've fit into. I have no idea what I can do to fix this bug, and I'm unnable to read the participant name as it is also squashed. Has anyone else experience this problem? (I'm using a Windows 10 and have the lastest zoom version)

Dear Forum,

 

Is there a way to simulteneosuly video-record a Zoom meeting and use OtterPilot (to transcribe the conversation)?

It seems that if I use OtterPilot, it disables Zoom's video-record feature.  

Currently, I simply video-record a Zoom meeting using Zoom's Record function and I run Otter independently as it eavesdrops the meeting.  But if Otter can be integrated with Zoom it may do a better job of transcribing the conversations. 

 

Thanks!

How to change location of saved chat files on computer in latest version of Zoom?

The online help instructions (both the Zoom support article and the bot) incorrectly indicate you can change the location of the locally saved chat files by way of selecting a different save location in Settings. However, the latest version of Zoom seems to have removed that option, but the help instructions still say this is the way to do it. My chat files are now saving to my desktop, a new folder with a single chat file (usually blank) for every meeting, and it's a mess. I still want them to save automatically for the meetings where the chat is really helpful and needs to be shared around, but I want it back in the Zoom folder on my computer. I can't find a way to change the save location in this latest update. Does anyone know where to find this?

We have regular Zoom meetings where the board members vote on each agenda item via single-choice poll. The office staff who also attend the meeting but do not vote are listed in Zoom as co-hosts before the discussion begins, so we do not see the option to vote on the polls, and the total participant numbers for each poll do not include us.

 

Over the last month or so, we've seen an issue where the number of participants in the polls is regularly one more than we actually have present. For example, if we have 5 board members present, the poll ticker will show 5 out of 6 votes cast, even though there are not 6 present. If we have another member join later, it will increase to 6 out of 7 when all have cast votes. None of the attendees are using more than one form of attendance (e.g., logged in on both laptop and phone).  Any idea on what the issue might be and any way we can fix it?
