Zoom dumps new meetings into my calendar instead of giving me a link to copy and paste myself

I went to schedule a new meeting in the Mac App and normally Zoom would end by creating a link I could copy and paste into my calendar.  It looks like they've (or I accidentally configured it) to just create the meeting in my gmail/Mac calendar directly instead of giving me a link.  This is actually making things MORE complicated.  How do I get it back to the previous look and feel with just a link and copy button?

 

Thanks!

Resolved! Getting weird filter/blur effect

I've been using zoom to take remote music lessons for about a year.  This past lesson I was in a new house/room, and I noticed that part of the screen is blurred and the affected area changes as I move around. I have no filters or effects, and I've never seen this before.  When I'm not holding the instrument the background is a bit out of focus.  When I hold the instrument, part of the instrument is out of focus also.  

 

This is running Zoom Workplace on an iMac (macOS 15.6.1) , and I get this effect on both the built-in camera and a Logitech C920S. Behind the camera is a big window, and it's a cloudy day.  Yesterday it was sunny and I got the same effect.  I'm including links to screen grabs on my google drive (I hope that's OK) of just me and me with the bass to show the effect. Any ideas?

The meeting I am trying to join is through my institution so I have to be signed in. When I'm on my computer this is no problem. The problem is on mobile. I open the zoom app, click sign in sso, a browser pops up, I sign in to the browser, I put the zoom room id in now I'm signed into the browser, and oh, I'm redirect to the app which prompts me to sign in. But I am signed in. I'm signed in on the browser not the app. But the app forces me to sign in on the browser. So how exactly am I supposed to join?

When I join a zoom meeting where I don't have to log in to my zoom, I somehow reset my screen name to a random series of numbers. I've looked everywhere in my account, and I can't find where this random number was entered (and therefore, I can't figure out how to change it). Does this ring a bell for anyone, and can someone point me to where I should look to fix it?

I would like to set a 1-hour meeting as a default template so that I don't have to set the end time manually for every meeting  I schedule. I can create the template, but there I don't see a way to nominate it as the default.

Is there another way to set a default meeting duration?

I’m encountering an issue with Zoom  and my Plantronics Bluetooth headset for audio and microphone use. The headset works perfectly with other applications like Google Meet, You Tube, etc so I believe the device itself is functioning properly.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Reviewed and followed all relevant Zoom support articles

  • Checked audio settings within Zoom and selected the correct input/output device

  • Verified that the headset is connected and set as the default in the system audio settings

  • Uninstalled, Installed, Restarted Zoom and my computer

  • I show the green bars when conducting the testing but I cannot hear the sound or recording
  • System: Window 11
  • PC: Lenovo Thinkpad

Despite this, Zoom does not play or capture audio through the headset.

Do you have any additional troubleshooting steps or suggestions? Any support would be greatly appreciated.

Session Hacked by Participant who raised OTHER PEOPLE'S Hands

Next thing I know is I'm hearing the Andy Griffith TV show theme song over top of the song I'm sharing.

THEN, I'm seeing participant's hands going up, one at a time (none of my participants even know how to raise their hand!).

Then my cohost says that an ad*lt video is showing on everyone's screen, from the visitor. My cohost could not remove the visitor , and because the names in the participant list kept moving around (I'm guessing because of the hand-raising they were somehow doing).

So.  My guess is the visitor had an ad*lt video as their background and then did a spotlight for all, which overrode the screen sharing I was doing.

AND... SOMEHOW they were able to raise other participants' hands.  HOW ON EARTH ARE THEY ABLE TO DO THAT?!?

I ended-up killing the meeting to stop it.

Thanks for any thoughts on what happened!

During my Zoom conference, there were disturbing messages in the chat coming from 3 participants who I personally know would never do things like that.

This has happened a few times with different participant names.

Zoom bombers somehow can use the name of any random participant to send disturbing messages.

 

Does anyone have the same experience like this? I've researched Zoom bombing cases, but not one mentioned hijacking names and chats.
