Hi,

 

We organise online seminars where videos are being shared on screen and reviewed and commented by a professional . We have a ZoomWorkplace Pro Monthly plan and with a few members this works but as soon as the group is a little bit bigger the videos start lagging. 

 

I am the host and I have excellent internet connection, the videos are stored locally (so not internet based) and I see the videos perfectly on my screen. However for many participants they are lagging behind which destroys the whole purpose of the seminar. One participant changed from a PC to an iPad and it worked better. 

 

Has anyone experienced this before? How can we solve it? Our next seminar is in a few weeks and I am wondering if we need to look for another provider. 

 

Thank you!

I dont see any recent discussion on this topic so I will ask it again, apologies if i have overlooked a thread somewhere.

 

Does Zoom support use of an external usb webcam when joining a zoom meeting from an Android device such as the Samsung Galaxy S9. 

If this is not currently supported, is there any chance it will be supported in the future?

 

Thank you!

Hi,

Does anyone know how to return a participant to their breakout room after they loose connection and have to rejoin the meeting? When I try to do it, the room they were in is not available as an option so I have to move them into a different room first and then move them back into their previous room. Surely there is an easier way of doing this.

Thanks,

Anna

Missing Text button when sharing screen. Cant find the Text button which was in the annotations bar

Hello,

I am a licensed Zoom host and use Zoom daily for teaching. Since the most recent update, the annotation tools have been reduced and this has made my work much more difficult:

• The Text tool is no longer available in the annotation toolbar.

• The colour options have been reduced from 16 colours down to only 4, and the white colour is missing completely.

These features were essential for teaching — especially when annotating during lessons to highlight different answers, write in different colours for clarity, and use text boxes. Losing them has negatively affected both my teaching flow and the learning experience for my students.

Please could you let me know:

• If this change was intentional or a bug.

• Whether Zoom plans to restore the full set of annotation tools (text + full colour palette).

As a paying customer, I strongly request that these tools be reinstated, or that the same functionality is made available within the classic annotation feature without requiring the new Whiteboard.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Kind regards

Zoom Audio not working on Windows 10

I have tried every tutorial/guide on the internet and nothing is working! Please Help
No audio from zoom while on earphones. I cannot hear others' audio or speak while plugged in my earphone.

- I am unmuted
- My earphones work when using other software and websites but just not zoom
(e.g. skype, youtube, etc)

Things I have tried:
- Changed the input and output audio settings in zoom to 1) the same as system and 2) to my earphones

- Tried the "test speaker and microphone" and failed in every test

- Used different earphones to plug into the earphone jack -> same result, no audio output or input (My Bluetooth wireless buds works on zoom without audio issue but not wired earphones )

- Make sure system > advanced sound options > zoom meetings are turned up to 100

- Allowed microphone access in Windows' Privacy Setting

- Uninstalled zoom (and removed all of the leftover files), restart my laptop and reinstall zoom for 3 times

 

- Edit: I updated, uninstalled and installed the external mic, headphones, microphone and speakers drivers on my laptop as per Ip-Man's suggestion (Thank You!)  below but it did not solve my problem


(I am on a Windows 10 laptop with earphone plugged into the earphone jack)

Please help! This problem has severely affected my zoom meetings and lessons - Thank you in advance

If the meeting has been started by the alternative host, can we the organizer get a notification?

Hello,

 

In some of our meetings, we’ve set it up so the alternative host can start the meeting without our onsite support. If any issues come up, we’ll join as a co-host to assist.

 

However, we’ve noticed that when we as the organizers are about to join, Zoom still shows the “Start” option, even if the meeting has already been started by the alternative host. In the Workplace app, the notification also says the meeting is “20 minutes past the scheduled time, please start it,” which can be confusing if another team member doesn’t realize the meeting is already running.

It would be much clearer if the notification popped up as something like:

  • “The alternative host has started the meeting. Join?”
    or

  • Simply changing the “Start” button to “Join” once the meeting has already been started by the alternative host.

This small adjustment would help avoid confusion for our team.

 

Thank you!

Zoom keeps crashing

My Zoom app keeps crashing for no reason (I don't know why). I've tried all the solutions on the internet (reinstalling, reboot, cleanup chaches, update, etc) but all of them don't take any effect, still "not responding". I even don't get any error code or troubleshoot so the crashed app doesn't let me know what is the problem. I'm very upset.
I hope someone can kindly help me because I have many schedules on it so I really really need this to be solved. The "Bolt" and "Contact Support" don't help me anything as bad as they are. Big thanks to all of you who can help me get away from this.

Zoom cuts of bluetooth headphones completely

When I connect my AirPods Pro 2 to my Windows laptop, they work fine, I hear audio in all apps, I hear the test tone when I change volume in the Windows audio mixer. The moment Zoom opens, they stop playing. I cannot hear a thing in Zoom, I cannot hear a thing anywhere else, the headphones are effectively muted. This persists even if I kill zoom. If I disconnect and reconnect my headphones, audio works again, until Zoom is opened.

When this issue occurs, visual guides (meters) representing the audio playing in the system or Zoom app do indicate playback, but no audio is audible.

This happens only with Zoom, other communication apps are fine, repro rate on this is 100%. I am connected to correct headphones, the audio device is unmuted in the system. When these headphones are used without Zoom app, they work as expected.

Zoom does not follow normal Windows conventions, when you select the X in the upper right corner of the program it does not close (exit) the program, it just reduces it to the back ground. This is the function of the - button just over from the X button. I realize that some user want to keep zoom running at all times and it is a benefit to those users, but there are also users that do not benefit from this behavior. I know I can right click on the icon in the task bar or tray and select exit, but why should I have to do that. It is Windows convention that the - button reduces the program and the X key closes (exits) the program. This is virus like activity by zoom. 

 

Please get with the program and give us an option in the settings so uses can choose this action of they want it, even make it the default action. Let those that do not want it the ability to have Zoom act like a normal Windows program.
