Last night on a zoom program about art, I was zoom hacked. We were well into the program and someone started scribbling over the slides. Then the scribbles turned into nasty words. Somehow I was able to stop it and then it happened again a few minutes later. Someone identified who had done it so I removed that person from the meeting. (It was only a first name and don't think there is anyway to tie it to an email.) I then clicked on every button on my dashboard to enable all possibilities of further interruption.
 
Wondering if anyone has a checklist of steps to ensure this does not happen? For example, only allow the host to screen share, disable white board, disable collaboration, host tools, etc. I had no idea there were so many ways for evil people to interrupt.

Annotation broken for screen shared from Wayland Linux

There are at least two issues when annotating a window screen-shared by a Wayland (Linux) user.

 

Steps to reproduce the issues:

  1. A Linux user shares a window (NOT the full screen) on Wayland.
  2. Another user annotates on the shared window.

Issues:

  1. The annotation is not aligned with the shared window, but is wrongly aligned to the entire screen for the Linux user.
  2. The annotation disappears after a few seconds on the annotator's screen, but remains on the Linux user's screen

Expected behaviour:

  1. The annotation is aligned on all users' screens.
  2. The annotation remains on all users' screens until cleared.

Hi all,

I use basic, free Zoom and lately have been experiencing frequent Unstable Internet messages.  I've read lots of articles about this on the internet and am still baffled so any direction on solving this would be appreciated.  Here is what I'm using and what I've done so far.

 

1. I typically sign into Zoom right from Google chrome by going to zoom.com.  Should I be using the installed program?  Does it matter?

2. I'm on a pc, W10, newish laptop, Google Chrome.  Windows and all drivers fully up to date.

3. Network troubleshooter shows no problems.

4. Wifi speed 2.4G about 75 download/13 upload and with 5G about 84/13.  However, I noted 5G has about one bar less on strength than 2.4G.  Which is more important - signal strength or speed?

5. Not using HD camera.  No other streaming occurring in house

6. Not sharing videos etc. during call that would bog things down.  Just a shared whiteboard.

7. No unnecessary tabs open on pc during call.

8. No background apps running on pc that I think would bog things down.

 

TIA for any direction on solving this  annoying problem.

Hey,

I did a fresh installation of fedora 41 but it does not work for my hardware so I was pushed to try 42 - which works great. All apps are working in exception of Zoom screen sharing. 

When I am trying to share screen I am getting: 

 

Can not start screen share, choose one of the options:
- Install latest 'xdg-desktop-portal and 'xdg-dektop-potal-gnome'
- Switch to X11 display server

To support screen share



I have instaled both packages

 

rpm -aq | grep xdg-desktop-portal

xdg-desktop-portal-1.19.0-1.fc42.x86_64
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome-47.1-2.fc42.x86_64
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk-1.15.1-6.fc41.x86_64



And both portal and portal-gnome are running, what can I do in this case?

My zoom app used to work fine without a problem.  Then about 4-7 weeks ago I had some glitch (forgot the issue) that caused me to update the Zoom app.  Ever since the update, my video freezes every 10-30 seconds.  I can work around it my disabling video, and enable it right again.  This will fix the video freeze.  But unfortunally it will freeze in 10-30 seconds again.  So in a meeting, I have to click many times video disable/enable due to the video issue.  I tried rebooting iphone.  I tried uninstall and reinstall the app, and reboot the iphone.  Nothing works. Audio is fine.  Otherside's video and audio is fine too.

 

The other side of the zoom seems to be fine.  It is only my video that constantly freezes,and I can see that because my own video is shrinked to a very small window, but still display my camera content, which freezes. 

 

I have iphone Xr, ios 18.6.2

I have a user who uses the Zoom for Google Workspace add on to create Zoom meetings in Google Calendar. She is encountering an issue where, seemingly randomly, Zoom meetings are not being saved when they're added to calendar events. Everything looks great before the changes are "saved" in Google Calendar, but after saving the changes, the Zoom meeting disappears. No error is thrown, the meeting link just silently disappears. Anyone experienced this behavior?

I am an executive recruiter and do many screening interviews with candidates. I have begun using AI Summaries on candidate screening interviews (about 60% of my Zoom meetings), but I don't want to use them on all meetings (e.g. with clients). Is there a way, or can there be a way, using Zoom Scheduler to apply a meeting template at the time of meeting creation based upon the type of meeting created in Zoom Scheduler? This would eliminate having to set summary/recording settings meeting by meeting, which is tedious.

Sound notification when someone joins my meeting - frustrating problem with settings

Hi, I'd be very grateful if someone could help me with a stubborn problem:

 

I would like to have a sound notification when someone joins my meetings (I do get a pop-up at the top of my screen when they enter the waiting room, but with no sound).

 

When I go into Settings / Meeting / Sound notification when someone joins or leaves, this option is already enabled, but I still don't hear the sound for any of my meetings, and when I'm working in other windows while waiting for my client to arrive, I can't see the visual notification. I used to be able to get a sound notification but some months ago that stopped happening for some reason completely beyond me.

 

Everywhere I look I just see the same advice, ie to check the setting I described above, but that is not where the problem lies. I've tried to "Reset" it, but it made no diffference.

 

Any advice would be gladly received!

Hi, I'm trying to use Camo Studio with Zoom, but "Reincubate Camo" isn't appearing as a camera option in the video settings. The camera is working Fine in Camo Studio. I've tried restarting both apps, updating Zoom, and reinstalling Camo Studio, but nothing seems to work. My device is connected, and Camo Studio is running on my computer. Has anyone else encountered this issue or have any suggestions for getting it to work?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Please fix auto-resizing of Zoom window when chat or participants is opened/closed.

When I am on a Zoom call I have it set up on half of my screen. Whenever I open or close chat in a meeting the zoom window resizes and changes position. When chat is opened, instead of resizing the elements within the zoom window to create room for the chat window, the entire Zoom window resizes, adding on the width to display the chat. When chat is closed, the Zoom window resizes to the original size, but it's screen positioning is shifted left. Fix: Do not change the window size when chat is opened.

 

Zoom window sized to half of the screen:

When chat is opened, Zoom window width increases to fit chat.  

Zoom2.png

When chat is closed, Zoom window width returns to original width, but stays aligned to where it expanded to the left.

Edit: Same experience with participants.
