It will be nice to join the Zoom breakout room through a link.

We often invite Guest speakers to a specific room. Since there is no unique link to the breakout room, we give them the link to the lobby.

The speakers then will be given instructions to join the intended room. Still, the speakers feel confused when they join the meeting with unexpected attendees (Unassigned room) and also finding the right room isn't any easy. 

If we include the room name along with the invitation link and handle auto-join to the breakout room, The process would be easier than now.

We are using Zoom Room Controls to control a QSYS Core 110f.  Every 60 seconds QSYS closes the  connection as described here:

https://q-syshelp.qsc.com/Content/External_Control_APIs/ECP/ECP_Commands.htm#:~:text=Note%3A%20An%20External%20Control%20client,get%20reclaimed%20by%20the%20Core.

Then the zoom computer instantly reconnects.  In the short term things work fine, however every few days it seems, something in the network stack of the QSYS core crashes and it needs a hard reboot.  I have experienced this with QSYS when there is a large volume of active sockets or high amounts of control activity.  I think there may be a memory leak in QSYS's network stack, or something of that nature.  Perhaps closed sockets are not getting properly deleted.  Unfortunately I cannot control that.

However I was wondering if there is a way to keep the connection alive so the logs aren't flooded with a reconnect every 60 seconds from zoom and there isn't the constant disconnect/reconnect. How can I have zoom send some data to QSC Core every 55 seconds?

Olá, estou tentando automatizar uma sala de zoom usando os controles com um dispositivo Sonoff. Este dispositivo funciona por meio de solicitações HTTP. Dentro dos Controles, tenho uma conexão com o dispositivo, mas os comandos não estão funcionando. Depois de acionar qualquer comando, o dispositivo não responde.
Comando de Interação com Sonoff:
http:///cm?cmnd=Power%20On
http:///cm?cmnd=Power%20Off

Codificação JSON dos controles do Zoom Room:

Desenvolvi um aplicativo em ReactNative para testar usando a mesma estrutura JSON que o Zoom usa e funcionou bem. No entanto, com a mesma configuração dentro da Zoom Room, ela não funciona conforme o esperado.
Imagem da lógica no aplicativo ReactNative:

Eu li a documentação completa para os controles da sala de zoom e o dispositivo Sonoff. Acredito que o problema pode estar relacionado a alguma limitação do lado do Zoom.

Alguém pode me ajudar com isso?

I am experiencing an issue with the Zoom Video SDK in my React.js project. The problem occurs specifically in Safari (MacOS) and Firefox browsers. While the video for other participants renders correctly, the self-participant's video is not displayed in these browsers.

Here are some key details about the issue:

Browsers Affected: Safari (MacOS) and Firefox.
Behavior:
a. In Chrome, the self-participant's video works perfectly.
b. In Safari, the video element for the self-participant remains blank whereas the other person can see my video.
c. In Firefox, the same issue occurs, and no errors appear in the console.
In Chrome and Safari (iOS) everything works fine but in Safari (MacOS) and Firefox I am having this issue. The other person can see my video completely fine but in my screen my video is not being displayed. In the console it is giving below error:

Error:
Uncaught Error: The video-player must have a video-player-container as its ancestor element.

Even though this error is also coming in Chrome still it is working fine there. I have attached the code below. Help me solve this issue.

Had a weird thing happen today. Did a codec swap from a mac to a pc and when reconfigured everything works with exception of one Neatpad that when I try various activations methods the Neatpad will sign in for a second then prompt a wrong account type error and sign out. It will pair to other rooms just not the one that I swapped the codec. There is an ipad that will pair as a controller though. Any thoughts?

Dear Team,

We have a integration of Extron/Poly TC8/G7500 device with Zoom Platform, recently we updated the OS/ Firmware version (6.1.0 to 6.2.6) of Poly devices in Zoom admin portal, after upgradation Room control option (Extron Control) had disappeared from zoom home page of TC8.Now is any way we can downgrade it.??

With Regards,
Vikas

In the Zoom admin portal, under room management, when I select a Zoom room, I notice that equipment updates do not occur automatically. Even when I click on "Upgrade," it doesn't work. The only way to update is by connecting directly to the equipment.

Even after updating the equipment by connecting to it directly.

On the Zoom portal, the mentioned update has not been applied, and the equipment is still displayed with its previous update.

I work at a TV station that also operates multiple PTZ cameras for board room meetings. There is the table for the boards, a podium, and a computer desk that we often switch between while having two picture-in-picture windows at the bottom left and bottom right corners so you can see the back and forth discussions while not having to switch the cameras constantly.

We are looking into doing Zoom Rooms so we have flexibility in terms of remotely covering the meetings, however we were told by the person looking to install the new setup that Zoom Rooms do not support picture-in-picture the way we do it now, but I understand that Zoom does updates to their software.

Is there native support for having picture-in-picture with Zoom Rooms the way I described? Otherwise, is there any third party software like a plug-in of some sort available that would support that kind of picture-in-picture?
