Problem modifying a meeting - can't change recurring meeting to non-recurring

In 2020 during the early days of COVID, using the Zoom website, I created a recurring meeting/no fixed time for a study group that meets weekly.  Separately, I created a recurring meeting in Outlook and set the location to be the Zoom meeting link/URL.  The Outlook meeting repeated for 6 months then I created a new Outlook meeting for the next 6 months....  This worked great for years.

Earlier this year, in Zoom, my recurring meeting magically changed to separate meetings once each week, matching the meeting cadence in Outlook.  This was unwanted behavior.  I made no changes in Outlook.  At the time, I had integration turned on so Zoom would see the meetings and display a notification to start the meeting (on Windows 11 Pro).

I've been advised to turn off the integration on both sides (which I've done) to address a related issue.

I've tried changing the meeting in Zoom to non-recurring via the Zoom website - cleared the recurring check box, saved the change, still recurring.

Deleting this meeting  and creating a new Zoom meeting to replace it could be a simple solution but it isn't an option - the link has been widely distributed and the participants are mostly very non-technical - switching to a new meeting link will confuse many of them.

 

How can I get this Zoom meeting to be non-recurring (so I can restore it back to recurring/no fixed time)?

 

[Current versions of Zoom Workplace app, Outlook/Microsoft 360, and Windows 11 Pro.]

I learn through virtual classes, and the educational institution I attend teaches them through a professional video camera that focuses on the classroom whiteroom, and its quality is very low on the device I'm using, even though I have good internet connection. I used another device where the video quality was high resolution and used the same internet connection I have now.  I've already tried upgrading my current device to Windows 11 and updating the Zoom app, but the problem persists. Thank you for reading me.

Any way for participants to be able to see how many people in each breakout room before joining?

I'm running an online language exchange, and we have breakout rooms for each language. I want participants to be able to move freely between breakout rooms to practise different languages. As host it is great to be able to see how many people are in each room, however participants have told me that they don't get this option, so for them they don't know which rooms are already too busy (we try to keep the groups small).

Does anyone know any way of letting participants know how many people are in each breakout room, before they join?

 

Is there also any way to limit numbers of people in each room, to 5 for example, so once it gets to that number no extras can join?

Resolved! Zoom UI very slow while camera is in use

Recently my workplace has been running into an issue with Zoom when our webcam is streaming its picture on the screen. Zoom will be slow to respond to any clicks such as muting, minimizing, maximizing windows, moving the window around, etc. The network connection seems normal, talking to people and camera movement seem to work normally. Resource Manager shows around 60%-70% usage of CPU / RAM during a meeting and the SSD has plenty of space available.

 


What's odd is nothing else seems to run slow during this time, only Zoom. Microsoft Teams does not experience this issue.

I have tried the following:

1. Updating windows to the newest version, reinstalling zoom
2. Rolling back windows updates and graphics drivers to the last known working version
3. Changing the webcam from a Logitech Brio to a Logitech 960
4. Changing the PC to a different PC (we have two boardrooms it's happening to both)
5. Tried both 32 bit and 64 bit installs
6. Ensured Logitech webcam software was up to date and only running at 720p - even on a fresh PC with no software installed it runs the same
7. Lowered the resolution of the TV from 3840x2160 to 1920x1080

 

 

None of these changes have made any discernable difference. I am thinking I could try and update the software of the TV but that doesn't make sense as it is only Zoom having this issue.

Anyone else having similar issues?

Unable to Schedule Meetings for Training Room Accounts as Admin

Hi everyone,

I was added today as an admin to our Zoom Workplace Pro account, currently with a Basic license. Within this account, we have five dedicated training rooms (each set up as an individual account with a Zoom Workplace Pro license).

Previously, when accessing the owner’s account, also with a Basic license, I was able to create Zoom links for future courses under these training room accounts. However, under my admin account, when I view the upcoming meetings for the training rooms, the option to schedule a meeting is not visible.

Could you confirm if it’s possible to schedule meetings for these training room accounts as an admin, and if so, guide me on how to enable this feature?

In my organization, we’ve observed that several users are experiencing issues with the background blur feature in the latest Zoom client versions (6.5.6 and above). Specifically, the blur function fails to activate and, in some cases, causes the application to freeze. we addressed this by rolling affected users back to version 6.5.1, which appears to resolve the issue.

 

To further investigate, I installed version 6.5.7 from the official Zoom website and tested the blur background feature. Unfortunately, the application froze during the attempt, and the background did not blur.

Accessibility: Enlarging Font in Question and Answer Window

Hello,

 

I'm visually impaired and require larger font sizes.  Using Ctrl +/- works as expected within the Chat window.  It doesn't work for the Question and Answer window.  Is it possible to increase the font size for that window?
