Hi, Is there any option to switch between the Camera and the Presentation Screen quickly, without closing the screen sharing?  If there is no such option to do it now,  is it possible to make some software improvements to enable such an option to use the full screen Camera view, while doing a presentation.

Hello,

I'll write in German, hopefully you can translate.

Ich habe einen neuen Computer HP Pavillon 27 mit Windows 11 gekauft. Ich bin Host eines Meetings, das mit dem Klang meiner Klangschale beginnt und endet. Dazu gibt es bei Zoom die Option Originalton, wobei Hintergrundgeräusche nicht unterdrückt werden. Auf meinem alten PC hat das sehr gut funktioniert. Mit all den dafür notwendigen Einstellungen auf dem neuen PC bleibt der Sound der Klangschale unterdrückt. Auch die Auswahl Originalton Aus/Ein li. oben während des Meetings hilft nicht.

Weiß jemand, wie ich die Klangschale hörbar machen kann?

Hello,

I am presenting a keynote presentation for a group of 20 participants tomorrow via Zoom. I included a video of myself inside the Keynote but it is lagging when I record via Zoom. So, now I'm wondering how I can show my face on Zoom while sharing my screen? I can see myself in the upper-right hand corner, but when I tested it with a friend, the participant cannot see me.

Please help! I am simply using a Zoom meeting link.

Thank you.

I recently have been having issues with Zoom meeting attendees, specifically those using their phones, having very poor sound quality. I encourage people to update their app, but not sure what to do beyond that. These people are usually not very tech savvy and have limited trouble shooting ability. The issue doesn't seem to affect those using laptops.

Can't set user name without logging in. This USED to work, before I had to uninstall and reinstall

I want to change my user name WITHOUT signing in, on my iPad. How can I do this? I recently uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, and now I have to change my name every time. It did not used to be this way. 

I do tech support sessions by clicking on a meeting link.  My name is NOW coming up as the name of my iPad.  This is not correct.  It USED to join the meeting (without me having to sign in) and have the correct name.  Is this no longer possible??

Share Sound not working

I regularly use zoom for work and have for three years with little issue.
Generally, my boss shares his screen so I can have remote access to do our work. He would also share his computer's sound so I can hear all of the audio that we are editing.
Recently, he claims the share sound option has disappeared when he shares his screen. And that as soon as he hits the green "share screen" button, it immediately begins sharing and does not allow him to choose a screen to share or hit the checkbox to share his computer audio. I can hear him just fine, just not his computer sound. (As it is, I can only hear his computer audio as it comes out of his speakers and then back through his microphone, so the sound is very inconsistent for me and is sometimes completely silent.)
 
It's difficult for me to troubleshoot the issue for him as I cannot see his screen when he shares it, therefore I'm not entirely sure what the issue is that he's facing, other than how he's described it.
 
I'm hoping someone might have a solution for this that I can pass along to him.

Deactivating the camera's follow mode in the meeting (Center Stage-Modus)

Hi, I urgently want to switch off the follow mode of my camera in Zoom Meeting on my iPad. The instructions on the zoom website do not work as there is no ‘Deactivate follow mode’ button.
Can anyone help?

Stop Hijacking Our Microphones: Fix Zoom’s Audio Control Problem

It is absolutely unacceptable that Zoom still causes persistent microphone lockouts across Windows 11 systems. This is not a rare edge case—it’s a widespread, repeatable issue where Zoom seizes exclusive control of the microphone and fails to release it, effectively breaking microphone functionality across all other applications. This includes critical tools like Discord, OBS, game chat, and even native system utilities. The root cause appears to be an outdated and frankly negligent approach to device handling that disregards modern Windows audio architecture.

This kind of behavior is not only disruptive—it’s a massive red flag for any software that claims to be enterprise-ready. Users are forced to manually restart services, disable system protections, or unplug hardware just to regain basic functionality after using your platform. That is an embarrassment in 2025. The complete lack of accountability and urgency from Zoom’s development team is staggering. If Zoom expects to remain competitive in a space where cross-application compatibility is essential, it must resolve this problem immediately. Otherwise, users—especially power users and professionals—will continue leaving in favor of platforms that take system integrity and user experience seriously.

I see how to schedule a meeting every other week, but I want to schedule a meeting for the first and third Thursdays of every month. For months with five weeks (Like September) the every other week option won't work. Can I schedule for the first and third of the month or do I need to set up two meetings, one for the first and one for the third? THANKS!!
