Participant - joining a meeting
Hello all... a pretty simple question....
I'm going to be tutoring a student.
Is there anything that the student needs to download to be able to log into a meeting with me ?
Thanks in advance for your answer.

I am a Zen meditation teacher who uses Zoom to reach my group. On Sundays during services, we do meditation for two 30-minute periods. It is during that time that traditionally, the teacher meets with students for one-on-one interviews in private. Breakout sessions seem like a good way to do this, but as I understand it, even if you have a session with only one person, it needs to be set up in advance. It would mean having all students at least assigned to breakouts, one-on-one with me. But, I don't understand how to 1) start as session during the silent meditation period without disturbing attendees, 2) signal to the next student that it is his or her turn to join me in the breakout session, and finally 3) given that my teacher may want to also occasionally offer such meetings, how to set him up as the host of those sessions that he would take part in, one-on-one.

After updating to "workplace," Zoom is unusable. When I join or start a meeting, the Zoom window disappears. This means I can hear the meeting, but I cannot see it/unmute myself/turn on my camera/see shared screens/leave the meeting. When I right click the zoom icon in my taskbar, it says there are no available windows. This is not a problem of having too many windows open and losing sight of it, the window disappears entirely. Has anyone encountered (perhaps fixed) this problem? I have updated the app multiple times after the original update to workplace, and the problem persists. I have also deleted and re-downloaded the Zoom app, and this did not fix it.

I have been unable to share a recording of a meeting with the external attendees of the meeting. Although I have checked the box to allow everyone with a link to the recording to view it, they are getting an error that says: Does this error mean that it is MY organization's policies or their own policies that prevent them from accessing the recording?
"Due to organizational policies, you cannot access this resource from this network location."

In some of my meetings, I am having trouble with my video automatically and repeatedly switching itself off. I manually click 'start camera' and the video comes back on again, but it then turns itself off again, sometimes after a few seconds, sometimes after a few minutes. It can do this sometimes 20-30 times during a call with no obvious reason. I only have this issue in some of my meetings, but not all. Please help!

When viewing a Shared Screen, there used to be an option under the View Menu to Hide Video Panel. This option has now disappeared, which means that the video thumbnails of Participants is always present obscuring part of the screen. It can be minimised but still leaves a grey rectangle on screen. I AM NOT screen sharing, I AM VIEWING someone else's Shared Screen. I and every other member of my Group need to be able to completely hide the Video Panel when viewing a shared screen. Thanks
I have tried to contact Support but they are not grasping the problem.
Why has this option been removed & can it please be reinstated?

My camera will not activate during a zoom call. I will activate when I run a diagnostic to test voice and camera.
I am in a situation where multiple Zoom sessions are separated by about 10 minutes. Each session will be about an hour. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to start a new recorded meeting session while the recording from a previous session is being processed? And are there limits? We plan on using Zoom's cloud option - will that help?
I appreciate any feedback!

Question about the mass deployment of zoom in our business. Most of it works flawlessly. Our only concern is not being able to set up a language. Each user as to change the language from english to the prefered language at first lunch. Is there a command line switch able to do that on install? If not id like to pitch this as a suggestion because switching language on over thousands of computer is not ideal. Thanks in advance!

My boss has a recurring meeting setup and she is the Host. She was trying to start it from the Zoom Desktop App (windows 11) but there was no "Start" button. It also asked her if she was going... which is weird because it's HER MEETING and SHE is the HOST. I thought maybe since she didn't affirm her attendance that was why but even after she clicked Yes (that she was attending), there was still no start button. She had to open her browser and login to the Zoom website to start the meeting. How can she get the Start button to appear in the desktop app? Seems less than intuitive.
