What are /r/Zoom's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

As a teacher I would LOVE this feature as well. I want to honor my students feelings and anxieties about having their cameras on, and at the same time it is really hard to teach to blank screens when so much checking for understanding comes from nonverbal cues. Here’s a link for Zoom Feature Request Feedback. I’m going to being making your suggestion and recommend you do too!

Actually I think this is the newer version..

https://www.amazon.com/iKKEGOL-Upgraded-Optical-Computer-Keyboard/dp/B088TQXYX2/ref=psdc_12879431_t1_B08MC456TC

This is what you want, just program it to do Alt-A

Getting off of WiFi is the best thing you can do to improve lag-free Zoom calls. I have experimented with both, on various wired and wireless connections and there is consistently more lag in wireless connections. WiFi is great for watching Youtube or Netflix or other basic internet uses, but it's not so good for real-time video conferencing.

Even if you have a super fast internet connection, WiFi can and will introduce lag into the connection. I have a relatively slow internet connection and WiFi is decent on Zoom (but regularly lags), but ethernet is great and almost always lag-free.

If your computer has no ethernet port, you can use one of these dongles to add one.

The next best thing is to always reboot your machine before an important Zoom meeting. Don't fire up a browser that restores 150 tabs. If you need to access your gmail to get to the zoom link, open it in a browser you don't normally use. Make sure the Zoom client is up to date, too.

I got this one dude. For Zoom, it's all about building a "platform" where other smaller companies can build businesses on top of. The biggest opportunity is their new Zoom Apps initiative that allows other companies to allow those apps to work inside Zoom. Other examples include the SDK and marketplace (plugins mostly).

They recently announce a $100m venture fund to support this.

The big one is Zoom apps. Write about that.

You can test the audio in the settings page (the image you shared). If same as system does not work, what are the other options in the pull down menu on that page for microphones?

You can also perform a test call here:

https://zoom.us/test

When a company signs up for a 'Business' subscription. They can claim a sub domain. IE 'company.zoom.us'. (based of their email domain) Which includes a custom home page. As well as features like SSO, reporting, dashboard, licencing, setting management, longer meetings, pool of storage, more tools, phone support, extra. They can also deploy zoom client with the IT installer, which allows them to link the app to their domain, which is useful for stream lined SSO, managed settings, extra.

It's also possible for a company to setup sub companies, sub billing.

​

If your a single host, and you just want to pull reports for your own meetings. You can even do that with just a 1 pro level account. But that won't get you everything mentioned above. That require going to Business or better.

Only thing I can think of off the top of my head, were they using the right link? Did you have them try and manually type in the meeting ID using the join button on zoom.us? Or into the zoom app?

From zoom’s privacy policy page, first paragraph: «We do not sell your personal data. Whether you are a business or a school or an individual user, we do not sell your data.»

https://zoom.us/privacy

There’s definitely a few options.

You can get a simple wireless mic like this one

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08DV5NJJM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_R91236DQAB3E0VFMB399

I’ve got some experience with that mic and it’s pretty decent for the price.

If you have more money you can get better Rode mics.

However, since you said your resources are very limited then the best option would be to either use another laptop or phone (I say this because most people have a laptop and/or smart phone). Have that phone act as a mic, join the zoom meeting and mute it but use the mic. Place it somewhere where people can move and speak into it.

Money isn’t a factor. I was just curious if one was out there. I was thinking of going with a mini pc route like this. But I am concerned about the computing power.

If this is something you expect to do often, you can buy an audio mixer (like the radio stations use, but smaller). This one has a USB connection to your PC that Zoom will recognize. The mixer actually becomes a 'sound card' for your PC. With headphones, you can hear your voice, your guitar, and the people on Zoom (or other PC sound). It's $100 on Amazon and other dealers. https://www.amazon.com/Alesis-MultiMix-Four-Channel-Integrated-Effects/dp/B00IPF9DX2

If this is just a one-time thing, a 'Virtual Audio Cable' might do the trick, but you still need a second audio input to the PC. The VAC will do the 'mixing' in software. The VAC itself is all software, but it controls your hardware (sound cards). I have one that I find confusing to use, but others may be easier. To use it, you would select the mic and guitar inputs to the PC using the VAC software, and select the VAC output in Zoom.

If you don't have a second physical audio input, you can get a little USB 'dongle' that also becomes a 'sound card' for the PC, with 1/8" stereo jacks for input and output. https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Channel-External-Windows-Drivers/dp/B00KGRT9WM

If you have never gotten into configuring PC audio, you'll learn that there is a fair amount of flexibility in selecting multiple audio sources for 'input' (recording) and 'output' (listening).

I took a hardware route after using a software recorder for a long time. The software recorder I used (not OBS) would only give 10-15fps for a full-screen app (2.5k so understandable). I switched to using the ClearClick 4k capture recorder. Ran an HDMI out my Mac to a splitter (removed HDCP) to the box. Total cost was about $130. I get 2.5k@50 (older iMac mirrored) on a flash drive in either H.264 or H.265 (HEVC). I looked into the hardware route to avoid loading my CPU. This older machine's configuration means taking load off the CPU was preferred. Note that these two together couldn't do 4k@60, but in my case, I won't exceed my native display's . Just another option.

These MXL mics work great and I've installed them all over with great success.

https://www.amazon.com/MXL-AC404-USB-Conference-Microphone/dp/B001TGTDFM

For Android users: You can do the same for free with Iriun Webcam using a Windows/Mac/Linux computer, and nearly any Android device (an optional $4.50 payment gets rid of a logo watermark).

Works great with Zoom, Skype, etc...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jacksoftw.webcam

For mics, I love these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BFKKHFR1?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I plug them into a USB Mixer to the computer.

https://www.amazon.com/ZOOAUX-Headphone-Charging-Earphones-Compatible/dp/B094Z6149B/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?crid=1O1DRM8HN1DCZ&keywords=headphone+and+microphone+splitter+usb+c&qid=1663320817&refinements=p_72%3A2661618011&rnid=2661617011&am...

From what I've heard, the DJI mic has both 3.5 mil and usb c output. Connect external speaker and mic with 3.5 mil jack.

This will be your friend. Pull HDD and plug it into another computer.

https://www.amazon.com/SATA-Drive-Adapter-Converter-Power/dp/B07PVX682Q/ref=sr\_1\_1\_sspa?crid=3C7KM17BSXXAD&keywords=laptop+sata+to+usb&qid=1658862308&sprefix=laptop+sata+to+usb%2Caps%2C94&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlw...

Buy an external mic like this one.

https://www.amazon.com/Microphone-Condenser-Recording-Streaming-669B/dp/B06XCKGLTP/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=3B9LK6PDVIEZZ&keywords=fifine+usb+mic&qid=1657720596&sprefix=fifine+usb+mic%2Caps%2C178&sr=8-4

It’s probably picking up interference or fan noise.

A headset mic like the Sennheiser SC-30 is affordable, simple to use, and will yield a very noticeable increase in audio quality.

You could install ubuntu in the acer or hp and run the zoom app from there, with external webcam for better picture quality

OR

Samsung with external monitor (there are USB C options, but if you want to use hdmi display, there are dongles available for usbc to hdmi), with back camera facing you on a tripod or stand, and a wireless lav mic (you need to use the Y splitter) and speaker setup.

yea, its tough, so zoom does more than normal compression to get their file size down. They also have variable frame rate codecs that directly tie to the Raw Data frames, which brings their recording size way way down. But I havent seen anything that mimics their codec as well. And once its available online its already been rendered to 30fps, but the placement of the i-b-p frames are tied directly to the original framerate, which I havent seen any encoder that can parse that info as well. ffmpeg you can copy the exact codec, and ive seen that be able to get those file sizes down.

Im not familiar with Movavi, but I use ffmpeg directly when I need to compress something a bit more, or sometimes handbrake when I dont have the time to flag it correctly.

That said, if you need to do simple edits, there is a program that allows you to just take out portions of an mp4 record without re-ecoding, it just repackages. https://mifi.no/losslesscut/

Optmize is pretty reliable. Restart your machine then open preferences/statistics when playing and check local resources. If that’s good it’s probably your bandwidth. Shut down all other internet activity and test the connection:

https://www.speedtest.net

Note: connection is your actual internet + WiFi. If you have good internet and garbage wifi you still get garbage results. So test with Ethernet too if possible.

Thanks for this. You can always trust technical advice on Reddit! (chuckles to self)

But this does seem to work. I had tried another workaround, that cleared up the problem for a few calls, and then it reoccurred. Super-frustrating! And even more frustrating that the big "Download" button at https://zoom.us/download says "32-bit version" out to the side, and there's a link below that that says "64-bit version", but there's no big Download button for 64-bit.

Actual real software companies often look to see what system you're trying to download from, and offer a download for THAT as the first choice. Since the first 64-bit Windows systems hit the market in 2006, so even if you're not going to offer a reasonable guess based on the user's computer, 64-bit is going to be a better default, after 15 years of 64-bit hardware has been sold ...

This seems like a bug -- when I minimize, also on a mac, I see the small preview of myself or who is speaking. Maybe download the latest version of Zoom and restart your computer as a sanity check

​

https://zoom.us/download

I got a reply from zoom tech support today.

They gave me an uninstaller called CleanZoom. Told me to run that to completely remove zoom, and to reinstall.

This was their email.

If anyone wants, I can post the CleanZoom.exe they sent in the attachment.

Hi there,

Thanks for contacting Zoom support!

Sorry to hear that you are having an issue with video freezes.

We have released the new Zoom version, which should fix the video freeze issue.

The following steps should help get the old installation cleared, and get Zoom reinstalled and working for you.

Could you please run the CleanZoom application in the attachments, and then restart your computer when it's finished?

Once done restarting please visit this link https://zoom.us/support/download this will automatically download the newest version for you.

Please install this version once downloaded.

Feel free to open a ticket if you have any questions. You can also visit our Help Center for answers to the Frequently Asked Questions.

HOLA HOLAAAA TENGO LA SOLUCION AMIGOS, LO PRIMERO QUE DEBEMOS HACER ES ELMINAR NEUSTRA CUENTA DE ZOOM DE AHI REGISTRARNOS DE NUEVO Y LISTO A MI EN LO PERSONAL ME FUNCIONO ESPERO LES AYUDE:
https://zoom.us/account
de ahi se registran de nuevo :)

They not only can hear you; they can see you, even though you see nothing.

It's good to see that others are having this problem, for it means that my chromebook isn't borked, nor yours, nor your camera, etc. It seems to be a problem with "Zoom for Chrome PWA" only. Apparently they released this thing into the wild without bothering to test whether or not it worked. (Showing only a black screen is a pretty big bug, wouldn't you say?)

Also, a paid account at $150/year does not entitle you to speak to them on the phone. I managed to contact a human being at Zoom by the following procedure: go to https://zoom.us and click on Support near the upper right. Then click on Contact Support near the top. A chat box will appear. To get past the awful automated bullshit, type agent.

They need to hear lots of complaints real soon (They can take care of the bug tickets themselves.)

​

Desktop client refers to the software that you installed on your computer (Zoom app). If you have not installed the client, I would do that first. Then go to virtual background, when you are logged into Zoom.

Here is a link to help you install the app if you do not have it

https://zoom.us/download

Why would they limit the ability to turn it off based on account level? That is so stupid, unfair, and the message is really obtrusive. My company pays them so much money, but we don't have the right to turn off recordings because we don't pay enough?

If anyone wants to complain, go here: https://zoom.us/feed

This sounds incredibly frustrating. Zoom is not designed for this quick pause/resume action. Have you considered reaching out to Zoom and asking for a discount? They launched their discounted EDU pricing so might be open to it?

Does anyone know of discounted Zoom rates? I only know about the K-12 40 min time limit removal:

https://zoom.us/docs/en-us/school-verification.html

It depends 9n your settings

At https://zoom.us/profile search for "Annotations". You have the option to allow annotations or not, and whether the person who shares their screen is the only one who annotates or whether anyone can do so.

If you are local recording, you just need to turn on the setting for "place video next to screen share...."

​

If its cloud record, then you need to go into zoom.us > settings> recording > and record content and active speaker separately.

I can't connect to zoom.us/test. I tried connecting via ethernet and I still get error 104103. I tried using my phone but it still won't connect. I tried joining a meeting using another laptop and I was able to connect.

Thanks from me too! Yes, Zoom 32-bit (default) is now apparantely completely broken for (some) webcams ("not responding"). And for those looking, here's the file: https://zoom.us/download and "Download 64-bit Zoom client".

Also you wont see a "Polls" button until you add a poll on the backend first. But yea it definitely sounds like the admin disabled chats by default. You can double check your meeting settings on zoom.us, and I assume you will see meeting chat greyed out.

These functions might be restricted by your admins if you have a corporate or school account, but they may simply be turned off (some are off by default).

Go to https://zoom.us/profile and click on parameters. Then search for these various keywords and turn on chat , for example.

If a function is available to you, there will be an on-off switch. If your administrator doesn't want you to use it or is not available at your level (ex free account), then you'll see a padlock.

You would have been logged in to your account via your Zoom app automatically. The Zoom website (zoom.us) is where your settings are stored and where you can go really deep into changing things, where cloud recordings are stored, etc. So log in to their website with your username that you use on the app and on the left hand side you will see an option for 'Recordings'. Click that and once you do you will see two options for recordings - Cloud and Local. At least this way you can see that the meeting was indeed recorded and if it's on the cloud you can easily download it to your computer, and if it was recorded locally you should be able to see where it was stored (since you don't see it where it should be it prob won't show up). Good luck, I hope you find it!

Did you look at your Zoom users in the Admin controls to make sure that they are 'registered' as Basic (or paid users) under you main account?

In our experience - if the users are not listed there, then they get sent to the waiting room, no matter what email address they might be using to join meetings.

That's one place. Another one is in the meeting setup itself.

Log in and go to https://zoom.us/meeting
Then click on Personal meeting room, and Modify (at the bottom).

At the bottom of that window, there will be "Other Possible animators/hosts" (my interface is in French). If you have any names there, remove them.

P.S. The same can be done for individual meetings.

Well your wish has come true. Zoom is now available as a 64-bit app for Windows: https://zoom.us/client/5.6.1.617/ZoomInstaller.exe?archType=x64

Two reasons for this:

First, the potential co-host has not updated their Zoom client in a while. About 2 minor versions ago, there was an update that enabled the ability for anyone to be elevated to co-host by a licensed or basic account host.

Second, in your Zoom account, you need to ensure that the co-host feature is enabled. Look in https://zoom.us/profile/setting - and then In Meeting (Basic) for the Co-Host switch on/off slider.

I have tried again with the zoom support on its website and I still can't get my concern resolved:

>I understand that you want your links to be formatted like in the second screenshot. However, this is randomly generated for each meetings. On the other hand, I strongly believe this is a great feature to be added in Zoom! You may submit a feature request at zoom.us/feed regards with that and I'd surely vote on it!

Welll your first link is a free version. Its just using a subdomain DNS server of Zooms to take load off the main domain. But you also have a hashed password in your first link, which I believe free accounts can not disable anymore.

You can however always remove the us05web. and just have zoom.us in your first part of your link and it will be fine..

Also please make sure these arent real links or they will get taken down.

You can go to zoom.us and sign in (you can still join a meeting without signing in) for the other meeting. You then have to click "JOIN A MEETING" at the top right corner. After that, type the meeting ID. Zoom will then redirect you to another page that gives you a popup saying "Open Zoom Meetings". Click "Cancel" (beside Open Zoom Meetings), then click "Launch Meeting" in the middle of the screen. Right after that, you should see this: "

Having issues with Zoom Client? Join from Your Browser".

Click "Cancel" again and click the button to join from your browser. It should just ask you for your display name and maybe the meeting passcode. You should be able to join the meeting after that.

Hope this helps!

Only if you have the email that the people will be joining the room with. Then you can create 3 different pre-assignment .csv's. After each session you can load the preassigned CSV into zoom.us on the backend and in the meeting you can reload that. But the rooms will need to be closed, everyone back into the main room for a minute, then reopened.

Download the desktop client from zoom.us >resources if you don't already have it.

Run the desktop client and click the join button from it. You'll have to add the meeting ID and password.

Yes. Go to the zoom portal at zoom.us and log into the account. Click "webinars" on the left hand side. Find the webinar listed in question. Click on the topic name (it will be a blue link). At the very bottom of the page, you should see the registration settings. There is a blue edit button to the right. You can turn on registration there. Hope this helps!

Step #1 - Turn off your computer and turn it back on. That fixes a lot of problems.

Questions:

Is this in the United States?

Can you login with your phone?

Have a friend bring a computer over and use your network - can they get to zoom.us?

Sounds like you are on zoom.us settings. You shouldnt be in a browser at all. From the zoom app, just right click the taskbar icon in the lower right, and go to Settings. Or if you are signed into the zoom app, click on your profile picture, then select settings.

Sounds like fun. I hope your interview goes well. There is a way to test zoom on your device. Here is a link below. If you have a friend or family member you can try a couple zoom calls with them. Do you have a friend or family member who can help you? https://zoom.us/test

You need to log in to Zoom.us, then on your profile page you will see the calendar integration. Once you sync the zoom.us profile to your google calendar, you will start to see those meetings in your zoom app.

That article is really really misleading. Zoom will technically sign you out of the app if you sign in to multiple apps on PC or Mac, but you can be logged into zoom.us on browser, and if you click a link you will join that meeting as signed in under that account. Also you can log into as many ios or android devices as you want.

https://zoom.us/client/5.4.58891.1115/ZoomInstaller.exe

​

Try installing this and see if it works. It has worked for us in every instance.

Zoom bumped my question up to Tier 2. A tech wrote that they've heard reports of breakout room problems in Linux, and hope to address these problems in a release scheduled for 1/25, which I'll pull from zoom.us/download. My fingers are crossed ...

If it were me, I would just go straight to zoom.us to obtain and install the latest Zoom program for Windows.

Then, click the separate link that was provided to you for the Zoom meeting.

I have to qualify my advice here, because I have not worked for an educational institution since the advent of the pandemic and the massive shift to Zoom for a lot of online learning.

Actually, I found it is working properly now. The thing that fixed everything was you need the other person to tweak all the necessary settings as well (on Zoom.us website), so you have the stereo within the call. Works good now!

Are you using the Chrome Web Store, or the Google Play Store? Because the Chrome Web Store version is the Chrome extension...which is basically abandoned. You need this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.zoom.pwa.twa

If your Chromebook is too old to run that...you might be out of luck.

Pretty sure Chromebooks can only use the pwa version now. You can install it from Google play store Or use at https://pwa.zoom.us/wc

Yes! I was in the same boat. I bought a simple toggle button but then when I mute in Zoom (or the host mutes me) I'm out of sync. Then I bought a mic with a mute button (Yeti) which sounds great but that also had issues. When I mute the mic, it's not reflected in the Zoom app so my coworkers think I'm the guy not on mute when someone else's dog is barking. Plus I had to check two places to make sure I was on mute/unmuted and that stressed me out even more.

So finally I begged a friend to build me an app that stays in sync with zoom. It puts a "virtual button" in your system tray. I put it on ProductHunt for free if you want to try it. The current version is Mac only but we have windows in QA right now. You can mute from the button, from Zoom, using the hotkey (Cmd+Shift+A), or the host can mute you and it stays in sync!

Then I eventually found a guy who makes physical, light up buttons for photo booths and I integrated it with the app. So you can also buy a physical light up button if you want something on your desk in addition to the "virtual button" your system tray.

Happy to answer any questions if you're building your own. We did a LOT of digging into Zoom.

I'm writing this in translation software, sorry if it's hard to understand.
I have the same phenomenon.

When this symptom occurs, the external display works fine, but the darkened laptop display is not even recognized. It just doesn't throw up any errors at all, which is the situation.

I don't know the root cause of the problem, but I've found an interim response that I can do right away.
If the screen goes dark, press the Windows and P keys at the same time, then press the down key once and press enter.

Once you switch the display settings, it means that the display on the laptop side will be recognized again. It's very strange.Reloading the graphics driver (CTRL+SHIFT+Win+B) did not fix it.

I hope this helps you guys.

Did you ever get anywhere with this? I just discovered the same thing on my wife's computer. I do not have this on mine.

She does not have any sort of local recording enabled and when we check the local recordings listing in the zoom.us app, it says there are none.

If you open the .csv files, it appears to have all the earmarks of some sort of audio recording. The fact that I cannot find any app that can decipher the pcm (a supposed audio format) has me concerned as well.

You would need to have the preassignments all saved as separate CSV's for each "session". Then upload the CSV to the meeting backend on zoom.us each time you want to change the pre-assign.

You need to sync your calendar with zoom. Log into your profile on zoom.us then configure your calendar integration on your profile page. Then any calendar invites that have a zoom meeting in the notes will automatically pop up on your zoom app.

Only if you are the host and have a Pro plan or greater. You have to log in to zoom.us, then depending on what account you have:

• Pro - Admin, Account Management, Reports, Active Hosts, By Meetings
• Business and above - Dashboard

OK, I was able to fix it... !

Situation: I have three accounts, one of which is a paid account. For each of these accounts, I went to Zoom.us and started a meeting ("Host a Meeting") from the browser (Google Chrome). Each time, I navigated to the settings, and found the Virtual Backgrounds and Virtual Filters tabs empty.

Solutions that did not work: I downloaded the Studio Effects (Beta) - that did not help, and the effects did not work either. I uninstalled the Zoom client from my laptop and re-installed. Still no results.

Solution that did work: I went to the Zoom *client* that I had downloaded a few months ago and updated a couple of weeks ago. I started a meeting from there (instead of starting it from the browser) and BINGO! Virtual Filters, Virtual Backgrounds, and Studio Effects work now. I can now also start meetings from the browser and see them.

I successfully tested the solution with a second laptop.

The free accounts provide 1 on 1 unlimited time limit meetings. 3 or more participants are limited to, I believe, 50 minute meetings. So I dont think they would have any issues meeting with each other through Zoom.

From Zoom's website: BASIC

Personal Meeting

Free

Host up to 100 participants

40-minute maximum group meetings

Unlimited 1:1 Meetings

https://zoom.us/pricing

Edit: clarification

Yes, hosts get an email as soon as you join. Also, you might end up in a virtual lobby for the candidate before you to finish their interview. You can create a free account and set up a profile image for yourself as well as test out sharing etc. You can also use a test meeting to try things as well: https://zoom.us/test

You have two language settings to change.

Load your profile page at https://zoom.us/profile. Search for _language" or "idioma", which appears under the Profile tab and in the footer of the window.

If both are in English, you should be ok.

It's in your profile settings. Go to zoom.us click settings and then "In Meeting (Basics)", once it's enabled you can add polls to your meeting. You have write the polls through the web portal though and IIRC you need to be on a desktop or laptop to launch the polling in-meeting.

If you have not, try shutting down the PC completely and starting it back up.

What happens when you go to zoom.us to join or start a meeting? Does the same thing occur or can you access the program OR does it allow you to join via the browser?

Also, just curious, how many displays are you using?

Certificate errors can happen on any website or apps.

If you clicked do not trust, then you didn't send anything to the server. Which is typically right thing to do when you see a certificate error.

​

One of the reason this can happen, is if the date and time is off on your computer. If date and time is wrong, your computer can't verify the certificate. If this is the case, setting the date and time on your computer can fix this.

​

If your still getting the error. And you haven't updated zoom in a while. You may want to try downloading and installing the latest version of zoom.

​

You can also have this kind of error if your using a public internet connection. Like say a coffee shop WIFI, air plane WIFI, airport WIFI, hotel WiFi, extra. In those kind of situations, your better off waiting for a secure internet connection.

​

Some times your company, schools, extra may do this this as well. But if your not sure if it's the case. You're better off checking with the place to make sure.

You could tell people to turn off their speakers.

Or put everyone into their own break out room, and randomly pop in rooms.

You could suggest test mode as a new feature for zoom.

There are also tools like lock down browser. Not suggesting it, but as an example respondus.

Try logging into zoom.us, then under Admin, Account Management, Account Settings. You will see a lock icon next to each setting, which you can toggle to lock/unlock the settings that show under Personal, Settings.

Not the google cal plugin. Im talking about going to your zoom.us account and "Connecting a google calendar". This allows zoom to read google calendar events, then you just add the events into your google calendar with the zoom link in the notes.

Are you the host? If so, then do youhave the cloud recording turned on? If so, then log into your zoom account at zoom.us and download the recording. Alternately, in the future, tell it to record to the local computer and it will save the session in your documents folder. If you are not the host, then you can use screen capture software (like OBS) to save it.

Ah, you may need to talk to the account owner. There is a setting they can get to at https://zoom.us/account/setting at Account Management > Account Settings > In Meeting (Basic) to allow Hosts to designate co-hosts. The account owner apparently has this turned off.

However, it may be possible for you to turn this on. I don't have a simple user account I can check with.

Do you have at least one other device you can use to test out a meeting e.g. laptop, MacBook, Chromebook, phone, PC, tablet? This all while logged in / not logged in to Zoom - whatever you usually do.

And if the issue is while using a laptop, Chromebook, or a PC, do you have an external camera to use as an alternate to test?

Also, are you using the latest Zoom version from https://zoom.us/download ?

That's a tough one. There are Zoom problems, and there are PC problems.

My experience with PCs is that if a PC has issues with one program, it will often have issues with others. But that may not apply to your situation.

You might try first uninstalling Zoom and then installing the latest version of Zoom from https://zoom.us/download

The screen sharing feature is just called "Screen sharing" in the web settings. You said the screen shot above was from your admin account?.

Check here: https://zoom.us/settings that's where it is most likely disabled. Especially if that was the account settings page, the screen shot was from.

You can now add your language in the settings on zoom.us Under Personal, Settings, In Meeting (Advanced), Language Interpretation, click on the "+" and you can add a custom language. The icon will be auto-generated and will probably be the first few letters of the language.

So on zoom.us, after logging in, Under Personal, Settings, In Meeting (Advanced), Virtual background is enabled?

What about your desktop app? Do you have a menu item by the video icon that says "Choose virtual background"? Do you see any backgrounds that you can select?

Found this post via Google, cos i was after doing the same thing !

I successfully just changed my username by joining a test meeting here https://zoom.us/test then :

- clicking on Participants (go full screen to see this at bottom of the screen)

- hovering over my name

- clicking 'More' to edit my name.

Then i left that meeting (red Leave button - bottom right) and joined another test meeting to see if it worked - and it had. (written these instructions for anyone finding this from Google maybe and not familiar with any of zoom really).

Meeting toolbar at the bottom, click on the Security icon, under Allow participants to:
select Share Screen. For annotation, you have to turn that on in the account settings on zoom.us before the meeting. Then when you share a screen, you will see an Annotate icon up at the top.

Same problem, and I cannot uninstall the app. I'm using mac. When I click on zoom.us at the top there is no uninstall option. When I go to launchpad and try to drag it in the trash nothing happens. When I search for the folder in finder nothing comes up. And when I try to update, the app disappears and reopens again as the same out of date version asking me to update again. Please let me know if you figure this out?

You might try this:

1. Uninstall the currently installed Zoom application
2. Go to zoom.us/download to obtain the correct and latest version of the app
3. Install the app

Yes, it's possible.

The URL I have for this is like: https://zoom.us/account/my/report?from=07/29/2020&to=08/11/2020

It reveals several (recurring) meetings, and shows numbers of attendees, duration, etc. If I click on numbers it shows me individual participants' info.

Instead of hosting a meeting, you can host a zoom webinar. I think you need a paid account to do this, I'm not entirely sure. Note that this removes the ability for them to speak to you. The only way for the audience to communicate to the host during a webinar is via polls and chat.

I got this from Zoom support in regard to my desktop sharing being gone: Thank you for contacting Zoom Support!

I apologize to know that you are having an issue with the available option for screen sharing. No worries, it is my pleasure to help. I checked our system and found out that the reason why you are not getting the desktop option it is because the "Disable desktop/screen share for users" in your setting is on. You have to turn off the setting to have access to your desktop during screen sharing. Please click this link https://zoom.us/profile/setting to get to your setting page and locate the Disable desktop/screen share for users. Please see screenshot below for reference.

Each simultaneous meeting needs a host, which must be paid. Get the large meeting upgrade to allow more than 100 people (1000 plan in this case). For the lectures and symposia, you would want the webinar plan. For the roundtables, you would want the pro plan with larger meeting upgrade. https://zoom.us/z_url/aN8qyoGnq should work for you. (All plans include cohosts, cohosts do not need to be paid). PM me and I will be happy to help you with the backend live on the calls for a small fee.

What is difference if I dial meeting with or without password? In both cases, password will be entered, but system will ask for pairing through the zoom.us/meeting/rooms. Am I missing something? Now I am trying Zoom VRC.

This is the clamp I’m using for my Logitech c925:

Portable Webcam Stand and Phone Holder with 2 Cell Phone Clamp 360° Swivel Mount Compatible with Logitech C920 C920S C922 C925e C930e Brio 4K, iPhone https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753HM22Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_mYhS9po6eEdtF

The camera is mounted upside down, lowered a few inches below the top of the screen. Then rotate the image in zoom settings to make it right. It does cover some of the images but generally it’s not a bother.

About a year ago I purchased a MOVO MC1000. Works well, has good pick-up.

SOLUTION: Use a VPN.

Someone mentioned using their school VPN, which is what inspired me. I use ProtonVPN regularly and just turned it on before a call. The issue didn't happen and hasn't happened again as I continue to use the VPN. There may be free VPN services out there, but I recommend just paying for one, they're cheap.

It's a silly patch. Zoom definitely has something going wrong in their web-traffic... But it works.

I too have had this issue and makes it impossible to tutor. If you have yet to solve this, I went and downloaded an old version of the zoom apk.

You can find the version that works at the following link: https://apkpure.com/zoom-cloud-meetings/us.zoom.videomeetings/variant/5.0.23478.0429-XAPK#variants

I'm using a 2013 HP Chromebook 14 (I bought it as refurbished in 2014) with the Zoom extension for Chrome, connected via WiFi, fast.com consistently 64 Mbps down, 5 Mbps up, attending once-a-week Zoom meetings with an average of 22 people. Never experienced issues with outbound audio, but outbound video has frozen a couple of times though. But then it has also frozen on my OnePlus phone occasionally. The camera on this CB is 1366 X 768, so it's not too sharp, but it gets the job done. My use of Zoom on Chrome does not appear to need fixing. So I'm thinking that your experience, although valid, is anecdotal, as is mine.

I downloaded Zoom from the Zoom.us site and when I opened the Downloads folder there was both the Zoom installer and that other file. Zoom seems to be working fine w/o it so I should probably just dump it. I did a scan with VirusBarrier from Intego since the owner of the computer is old and inexperienced and who knows what they might have clicked on. VirusBarrier found three items which it declared as malware; that MacRetinaRes.zip was not among them. Thoughts???

i have more than enough cpu gpu and ram for video green screen;

https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360043484511-System-requirements-for-Virtual-Background

my guess is they want my money for "admin feature controls" so i can enable it; https://zoom.us/pricing

Does anything know anything about the "audio signature" or the "watermark" that zoom embedded for privacy protection?

​

can they find out? What if you don't distribute it, but record only to rewatch later.
