r/Zoom

​

Hi everyone! Has anyone experienced Zoom calls not ringing on their phone even when the phone volume is turned all the way up?

I’m having this issue where Zoom calls/meeting notifications seem to come in very quietly or sometimes don’t ring at all. I already checked my phone settings and set the volume to maximum.

I remembered that I previously joined a Zoom meeting on my laptop while Zoom was also signed in on my phone. However, I forgot to sign in to Zoom on my laptop this time.

Could the fact that my Zoom account is/was signed in on another device affect whether incoming Zoom calls ring on my phone?

If anyone has experienced this or knows which Zoom/Android setting I should check, I’d really appreciate your advice. Thank you!

I'm studying online and after each class the video is made available to us to go back through to help with our assignments. The videos always have that AI summary beneath the video box and the transcript scrolls on the right of screen as you watch the video.

Classes are 3.5 hours long and rather than rewatch the whole 3.5 hours, sometimes I want to skip to certain content, so I use the transcript search box. It highlights the first instance of that word, but I can't then advance to the next instance of it.

I thought it would be like Microsoft Word's find feature where you click next and it takes you to the next place the word appears, but it's not. Hitting enter doesn't do anything, nor does manually scrolling to later in the video and searching again, it just takes me back to the first place it appears in the transcript.

Ctrl + F doesn't help me either because it only highlights what is currently on the screen in both the transcript and AI summary, even if I click in the transcript box first.

Am I doing something wrong, or is the feature just useless?

Today, I think the worst possible thing happened to me. For context, I have severe IBS-C. Every morning, my work has a zoom meeting where we all have to get on and they take attendance. Cameras have to be on the entire time and it’s only 15 goddamn minutes. Well, what does my stomach decide to do??? You guessed it!

I quickly turned my camera off and raced to the bathroom. Only….i didn’t turn my camera off. I don’t know if my manager turned it back on or what but I put my laptop back on my lap and it was on. I have a blurred background, but I don’t know if it caught anything.

I texted my coworkers and asked if they saw anything and they both said no they didn’t see a thing. They only saw me get up and then sit back down. I feel like they’re just being nice, but also I don’t think they would lie to me right???

Never ever ever again will I ever do that. Next time, I’ll take the strike and say I wasn’t on the meeting. I feel like an embarrassment. My best friend told me that if it gets brought up by my manager, to just tell her that I spilled some coffee on my lap and had to change my pants and thought I turned my camera.

Please for the love of god someone make me feel better about this. I want to move and change my name.

In the privacy and security settings there's no indication an app has requested access to the camera or the mic. It's a new machine. The camera and mic definitely work because they work fine with FaceTime. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Zoom workplace app, and updating the OS. No joy. It's the same problem with Zoom on the web. I'm guessing there's some setting to change but can't think what that would be.

This is an annoying problem since my own MacBook Neo handles Zoom just fine.

Any ideas?

Holy hell. I just tried to create a new account today and send one meeting invite. It wouldn't deliver the invite unless I connected my Google calendar WITH FULL READ AND WRITE ACCESS. It also kept opening up the app. I don't need an app??? Browser is great. Keep it simple for the basic users my goodness.

Also, the amount of feature creep bloat shit on their site is insane. I just want to create a simple video meeting, not give away access to all my personal info, not use new features!, not get solicited with 20 product and AI pop-ups. Insanely bad user experience.

I closed out and deleted everything.

I always seem to have a poor connection in Zoom. I am trying to debug this problem. As a first step, I want to see what Zoom reports as my bandwidth. When I go to Settings / Statistics, however, I see no bandwidth information. Please see the attached screenshots.

I have tried entering a meeting in three different ways: 1) Launching my own meeting; 2) Launching a test meeting from the Settings window; and 3) launching a test meeting from https://zoom.us/test. In all three cases, the Statistics screens are identically devoid of information.

My questions: Why aren't the statistics screens showing me useful information?; and what must I do to get useful information about Zoom's bandwidth usage?

My family member is using a Logitech webcam for audio (and video obviously). Used the setup fine for years. One day she stopped being heard during zoom meetings. She is not muted. The microphone is set to default/system device - Logitech XXX webcam. When you join the test zoom meetings the microphone test works perfectly. She speaks and it plays it back for her. When she is in a real meeting and the audio settings when she talks the bar moves. However nomatter WHAT, when she is in a meeting no audio comes through. I verified everything with my own eyes and did a zoom meeting with her and yeah, can't hear her. She is 100% not on mute. We are both at wit's end. I checked the Windows privacy settings and not only is everything allowed it shows recent requests from the zoom app. Please someone suggest something that's actually going to fix this!

In the that, several people 👍’d ❤️‘d and other reactions to certain messages.

When I tried to click the emoji to hopefully expand and see the names of the individuals who had reacted…

Instead, it added yet another heart- appearing as if I “❤️’d“ it

So it’s just emojis with a number next to it to indicate the amount of people who had that particular reaction

Is there a way to see the names of the users who reacted to what?

I’ve been having recurring audio problems on Zoom — lagging, distortion, and sometimes robotic/choppy audio. It’s disruptive enough that I’m trying to figure out whether this is a Zoom issue or something with my setup.

What’s confusing is that I do not have the same issue on Google Meet, using the same computer and location.

I also tried switching to a different network during a Zoom call, and that did not fix the problem, so now I’m less convinced that Wi-Fi is the main issue.

Has anyone had this happen where:

• Zoom audio glitches repeatedly, but Google Meet works fine
• Switching networks does not help
• Video may be mostly okay, but the audio distorts or lags

If so, what fixed it for you?

I’m wondering whether I should be looking at:

• Zoom audio settings
• microphone settings
• reinstalling/updating Zoom
• hardware acceleration
• background noise suppression
• another app conflicting with Zoom
• or just switching platforms entirely

I use video calls professionally, so reliable audio is really important. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a paid-for Zoom account and use the programme on my laptop (Linux), I create meetings, email the link out and the meeting opens no problem. However when a colleague emails me a Zoom meeting she's created and I click the meeting link it won't load in my programme, it'll only open on a browser, and is temperamental - eg doesn't find my camera. Can anyone help please?

MacBook Pro: This is my last hope for some help on this issue as I can't find any guidance anywhere. Every time I'm in a Zoom or Teams meeting (doesn't matter which app), my camera freezes when someone sends me a message. If I'm on a Zoom meeting and a group text starts blowing up, I effectively have to end the meeting because Zoom will freeze so badly.

I've tried putting my computer on Do Not Disturb, fully closing out the Messages app, and disabling Handoff as one person suggested it could have to do with my computer trying to pass to my iPhone camera.

Zoom and Teams are both fully up to date. My Mac is (mostly) up to date - I'm running Tahoe 26.5.2. It probably started around 6 months ago, and I've had several updates since.

Has anyone experienced this and have any idea how to fix it?

I am confused, why Zoom using microsoft Teams screenshot or their logo on their website
