During the last 3-4 webinars I've attended, I can't use the chat feature, even though other attendees are able to use it. For example, the host says "Put your answer in the chat." But when I try to type in the chat box, I get a message, "Chat disabled." But clearly the chat is not disabled for everyone, only for me. This only started happening a couple of weeks ago. I can't find any setting to change this. What is going on?

So the latest Zoom update to the meetings has the private direct messages from participants to host open in seperate tabs. Previously, all messages, irrespective of public or direct would appear on one screen in a list. However when conducting classes where only questions can be asked from the teacher directly and no public nor private chat, this is extremely annoying. Especially in classes with many students, each time a new message comes up, it's required to go to that person's tab to read it. 

Is there a way to revert it to the old way, where all messages comes in one screen?

Thanks in advance

I have a scenario where 2 laptops are in the same space, one is hosting and the other is presenting a video with audio. The hosting laptop is connected to the room system, so any audio coming from the host computer will be amplified to the room. This includes any audio that the presenting laptop screen shares.

So to avoid an echo, it would be ideal for the presenting laptop (MacBook) to screen share with sound, but not output audio to the laptop. I want the laptop to only output audio to Zoom. But the volume of the screen shared audio seems to be tied with the laptop output volume. If I mute volume output on the MacBook, the screen shared audio is muted. In the Zoom meeting if I "Leave Computer Audio" the audio is still heard both through the laptop speakers and the screen share.

What I really need in Zoom is a "Select a speaker: None" option. The fix right now is to plug in headphones.

Is there a way to screen share with audio but not output audio to the computer (specifically a Mac)? Thanks!

Hello everyone, 

Is it possible to recover meetings, clicking on the respective links that have expired?

I remember having converted a zoom meeting to an .mp4 archive, two years ago.  That conversion was before its expiry date and so I managed to have it at my disposal, even now, having saved it in the 'Downloads' section of my computer.

In the case I am describing now, the expiry date is over and, moreover, I don't remember exactly how I did that conversion, the only thing I remember is that I pressed the 'download' button at the archive and it was saved in the 'downloads' section as an .mp4.

Now this 'trick' doesn't work anymore. 

If there is some other solution, I would be glad to know. 

Thank you

I am very frustrated. I teach an online lecture on art history. In the past, I augmented my lectures with different media. I was able to play sound from my Spotify and YouTube accounts, and I successfully embedded my PowerPoint presentations on Zoom without issue. Now I cannot do this, at least not consistently.

Zoom's help site says:  

"select SHARE SOUND"

However, when I do NOT have a SHARE SOUND option!

I ensured that my sound settings were set for my MacBook Pro—still nothing.

I'm beyond frustrated because of all the work I have put in.

Does anyone have advice? It does not say I need an update (I did one recently)

Hello,  for about a month I am struggling with this issue.  Before that, I never had this problem.

When the host plays an audio or video, the music is filtered out, while the singer's voice I can still kind of hear, though.

I tried all possible settings and all possible combinations.  Also, on my Asus Vivobook (which I ended up updating (Windows, audio, ...) but the problem still persists.

Last week, I fiddled around again with the Zoom audio (additional) settings, and the problem seemed solved. However, with the next song that was played, the problem arose again. 

I have daily Zoom sessions with music in the background. So this is a very annoying problem.  Any suggestions?

Issues with Metro Bundler After Integrating Zoom Meeting SDK in React Native (Android)
Hello,
After integrating the Zoom Meeting SDK into my React Native Android project, I encountered the following issues:

• Metro Bundler is not working properly, making it difficult to debug or run the app.
• Changes are not reflected in the app, even after restarting Metro and clearing the cache.
