New to zoom. Visited knowledge base already. I (finally, sucessfully) uploaded a csv file to personal contacts. I successfully scheduled a meeting. I want to invite ALL the emails (contacts) to the meeting from this list of personal contacts. I don't see an option to do this. It looks as if emails need to be added individually! HELP! Thank you

How can I remove the timestamp from a live transcription before I save it?

I love the ability to save a transcription of my Zoom meetings, however I don't need a timestamp every 12 seconds. I rather have no timestamp at all, or one at the beginning and end of the meeting. Is there a way to deselect the timestamp on live tra... Show more

I love the ability to save a transcription of my Zoom meetings, however I don't need a timestamp every 12 seconds.  I rather have no timestamp at all, or one at the beginning and end of the meeting.  Is there a way to deselect the timestamp on live transcription before I save it? At the moment, I am editing them out of the final document which is a fair bit of editing on an hour long meeting. thanks for your help!

I started using the auto call feature has been a great addition and I have been using it for a month or so. For some reason though it seems to have got a bit bugged out as of this week. It has started calling me repeatedly after a meeting has started. Sometimes it is 15 minutes, but it has also been up to an hour later. This happens for both meeting auto calls that I decline (because for example I was optional and now don't have time to attend), but also for meetings I have been in that ended early. It happens for both meetings I host, and also ones in which I am invited. Sometimes I get multiple calls and others I do not. The calls do not happen when I am actively in the call (but will call about other meetings when I am in a call), or once the call has past it's scheduled end time. I updated this morning to 6.5.12 for Windows but this issue still occurred. Any one else having this issue, or have any recommendations on fixes?

Permanent Blue Screen in Video Mode on a MacBook Air -No error codes

Bought a new laptop recently, and everything is great except in the video mode, I have a permanent blue screen virtual background that I can't get rid of. I have an older MacBook Air upstairs that has no problem with Virtual Backgrounds .... but the newer one that I am using as a desktop replacement has this quirk. Haven't quite figure out why this is happening ... and how to get to a normal (real) background. There have been no error codes so far, and I am using the most current version of Zoom Workplace as of today September 6, 2025.Would appreciate advice as how to remedy this situation.

 

Thanks!

I suggest adding a new optional meeting setting for hosts: “Allow participants to unmute only when their hand is raised.”

Purpose:
In long meetings, participants often unmute accidentally (by shortcut or misclick), which interrupts the speaker with background noise. With this setting enabled, participants would only be able to unmute after clicking “Raise Hand.”

Benefits:

  • Reduces accidental microphone activations.

  • Keeps focus on the speaker during large or long sessions.

  • Gives hosts better control over meeting flow.

Resolved! Using external webcams for Zoom calls on iPadOS17?

Using external webcams on iPadOS17 is now supported. It works for Facetime. But I have not been able to get an external webcam working on my iPad for Zoom calls, despite having updated my iPad to iPadOS17. Are there settings to make this work, or perhaps use of external webcams on an iPad is not yet supported by Zoom?

I use multiple Virtual Backgrounds and frequently need to change them in the middle of a meeting (I use the background to illustrate points in class). I am currently going into Settings/Video and manually changing the background. But I have so many, I often can't find the one I want. How can I put them in order? I want students to see me and the slide at the same time.

Resolved! zoom dysfunction

After attempting to start a meeting I log in, enter the site then it starts rebooting and then freezes my camera and external mouse.  I bought a new mouse thinking that the mouse I had wasn't linking up with my system. Problem still occurs.

zoom meetings locking up participant videos

Even though I have a fast connection Zoom is locking up in gallery view. All participant videos freeze for 10 seconds or more at a time.

It appears to me that every window on Windows remembers it's last location and size when the application is closed.  Except Zoom Meetings.  It opens this huge oblong box covering 2/3rds of my screen every. single. time.  I move it to the side and and resize it to get my work done.  Restart, boom, back to the center.  

 

I know, first world problems, but seriously, why can't Zoom perform like every other application?  

Yes, I've shift-closed, ctrl-closed, closed following any other article I could find that would give me a clue. 

 

(Don't get me started about the "X" in the upper right corner not closing an application.  I'm seriously thinking this app is getting a kardashian complex (huge resource usage, always has to be the center of attention, can't believe everyone doesn't know who it is..)
