Good day all,

I'm working on getting all of our Zoom client in our environment up to date with minimal amount of user interaction. What I've discovered is that none of the Zoom clients are linked together, so we have a ton of Zoom versions within the environment that I'd like to get up to date. We do have a few options to push out updates if that's what it takes to do so (PDQ, Tanium, etc.). With that being said, does anyone have any ideas of how we can get our Zoom clients up to date without having too much user interaction? Can I just push out the most up to date version of Zoom to these machiens and it'll update automatically to that version? I've noticed within my Zoom client, that I have the option clicked to update automatically, but I've yet to see this happen. So now, we're looking for other avenues to update the software in our environment. 

Thank you.

Does anyone know how to setup Zoom meeting polls so that everyone on the meeting is allowed to take the poll?  Right now, if you are an Admin in our Zoom account you don't get the opportunity to take the poll and you are automatically shown the status of the poll while it's in progress, whether it's your meeting or not.  

Hi, in a previous version (5.8.1) switching off 'always display participant names on their video' also switched them off in recordings.

Now, however, in the latest version it seem impossible to remove my name from the bottom left corner. It only does so in the meeting and not the recording.  Has anyone else ran into this issue? Is there a solution for this? Any help greatly apreciated.

Thanks,

Adam

A month or so ago my Zoom stopped connecting to my second monitor. I have the correct setting for 2 monitors. I have unplugged the second monitor and replugged it etc. I use my account on two different computers, so made sure my single monitor set up was also set for 2 monitors (first computer on the account.) Nothing is working to get Zoom to use 2 monitors. What else can I do?

I see this topic has been discussed before but I do not see a satisfactory answer.

Preface: I just bought a brand new Dell Inspirion Laptop, see specs
1. Intel Core i7-1355U 13th Gen 

2. 16 GBs RAM

3. 1 TB disk Drive Capacity

Problem:

I have a course I am taking online and recently upgraded to this laptop since the camera in the other laptop was getting unreliable.  I started my class last night and it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting me ever 10 mins or so.  If I miss 15 mins of each class I am counted as not being present and each session is required to pass the class.

Mitigation attempts

1. Update Win 11

2. Updated all drivers

3. Delete some bloatware

4. I tried zoom on the web and downloaded the software with no difference in behavior

5. Tried other online meeting vendor i.e. Google Meet

Observations:

1. None of the updates prevent Zoom from disconnecting and reconnecting me as usual which means the problem still exists

2. Google meet worked as expected and stayed connected the entire time.

Conclusion:

My conclusion is that there is a bug within Zoom software or a setting I need to adjust to prevent this since it seems it is isolated to Zoom.

Hi, 

I'm looking to live stream some background sound in a Zoom meeting. It has to be via phone, and I'm planning on connecting it to a lavalier microphone. 
I found this article on sharing background sound, but it seems like this only applies for computers and not phones? https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0063608

Anybody with suggestions on how to share background sound in a Zoom meeting via phone? 

EDIT: I want to live stream the surrounding sound from a demonstration. And last time I tried, Zoom blocked the background sound. It is an outdoor march, so I wouldn't have access to anything else than the phone.
