r/Zoom

My department has Zoom Pro, which limits us to 100 attendees. My boss invited too many people and we now currently have 160 people registered. At first he wasn't concerned, but now he is freaking out and wants us to use another department's Zoom account that has a larger meeting capacity to host our meeting.

Is there an easy way to send the 160 people who are already registered a new registration link (under the other department's account) so we can instead host the meeting under *their* account instead of ours?

sounds crazy . had an interview today for a junior position. i join zoom, theres a middle aged woman, looks normal, speaks nicely. but something felt off

her lips moved with a slight delay from the sound. and she didnt blink once. for 20 minutes of conversation. not once. at some point i just stared at that and stopped listening to what she was saying

after the call i rewatched the recording. maybe i imagined it. but maybe not. maybe it was a deepfake. maybe i was interviewed by a neural network

but you know whats even more annoying? i dont know if i got the job or not. because im not sure the interview was even real

maybe in a few years we'll be interviewed by ai, work for ai, and get fired by ai. and no one will even blink

literally

I’m tired of looking engaged on camera.

Hi all,

I'm used to screen sharing with my mac on Zoom and then airplaying my ipad to display my whiteboard to teach. However, since last week every time I share, I see only a black screen, is there a good fix for this? Thanks!

How to remove "Join by SIP" and "Join by H.323" from the meeting invites? It's just more text that's NOT needed, and confusing to non-techies. Thank you!

This is just too much junk in an email invitation that is "visual debris" and keeps people from seeing the important info in the communication. Thank you!

Anyone else recently discover the text boxes on their whiteboards rotated without any history of anyone doing so?

It happened on many of my boards. And it seems locked text boxes were not impacted.

Just wondering if this is a personal problem (just me) or something systemic. And if there is an easy fix - other than rotating and resizing 100+ text boxes.

Thanks.

I tutor for dyslexia, and I frequently need to say voiced and unvoiced phonemes in isolation. Voiced phonemes (like vowels) come through to my student fine. But if I need to say the sound of /k/, /s/, /sh/, /th/, etc., my student cannot hear anything. I tried testing it in Zoom with Test speaker and microphone, and verified that I cannot hear myself say these sounds either. It makes no difference if I select noise cancellation, original sound for musicians, or personalized. (But I can hear my students.) I use a Windows 11 laptop, and went to System > Sound, and there these sounds ARE picked up just fine. So it seems to be a problem with Zoom. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks.

Hello, all,

I have a dilemma that, perhaps, I can get some support with. I teach a human development class over the summer and I would like to share an episode from a television show that is streaming on Disney+/Hulu+. I tried last year and only audio would come through. I was just on Chat Support with Disney+, and they stated that I should be able to share it without any issues. I looked on Zoom and found some troubleshooting help, but it only got me so far. Some of the instructions could not be followed (e.g., the directory location they told me to go to doesn't exist). Has anyone ever had an issue with sharing video on Zoom, specifically able to share audio but not video, and were able to fix it? Any support would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE: spoke with folks at Disney + and Hulu. Disney says I should be able to share. Hulu says I can do a watch party only with people who have the bundle. 🙄

i can't for the life of me understand why they deleted this option, or how to get it back again.

for clarity: i want all invited participants to automatically go into a waiting room, until i admit them, AND i would like to be able to disable the waiting room after a meeting has started so that i no longer need to spend time/energy/attention admitting latecomers.

Just like it's been for the past few years!!!

i am going to ask even more clearly: what do i have to do in order to be able to disable the waiting room after a meeting has started?

A member of a fellowship tells me that a fellow who has been attending our meetings has suddenly started threatening her and showing up in zoom meetings in and out of our fellowship she is attending, including meetings she has never attended before.

Sometimes we get a garbled inaccurate story. Is it even possible? Have you ever run across something like this?

Of course we will:

1. Not admit the person if they use an account we recognize.
2. Remove them if we recognize them or if they disrupt.

I have also suggested that the person who thinks they are being followed should get a new email and make a new free Zoom account.

Whenever I join a Zoom meeting that I originally created, Zoom keeps forcing me into host/co-host mode and shows a “Reclaim host?” popup. There’s no option to just join as a normal participant. Even if someone else is already hosting, my only options are “Reclaim host” or “Stay co-host.”

Is there any way to stop Zoom from automatically recognizing me as the host when I join halfway through a meeting on iPhone?

Few options i got from GPT:
To stop this happening in future
You’d need to do one of these before joining:
- Sign out of Zoom and join as a guest
- Use another Zoom account
- Have someone else create the meeting
- Don’t use your Personal Meeting ID
- justTap “Stay co-host”

Are these the only solutions or is there a workaround?

I do not yet have Zoom Phone. In my research, I read that the admin (me) can export SMS to CSV. If I sign up and one day I decide to leave Zoom Phone, can the entire [from the beginning with Zoom] call and SMS histories be exported? Is CSV the only option? What about media like pictures?

Can the full call logs be exported also? Is it also CSV?

What about voicemail?

Less importantly, but can SMS and call histories be imported into Zoom Phone, such as from Google Voice? It would be helpful to be able to look back at previous SMS or calls but I found no way to do that.

Thanks.

Zoom is okay. I'm searching for a new webinar platform. It needs to support an average of 700 people, but I would love for it to accommodate up to 3000 attendees.

I need it to be affordable. 😀

I'm in the middle of demos with a variety: Demio, WebinarJam, ClickMeeting, Zoom, LiveStream and a few more.

What do you have, love, hate and why?

I got an overage fee of $50.00 + $13.26 tax on my invoice along with my regular billing charges. This is my second month of payment, so I have no idea what this is. My regular plan is “Zoom Phone US & Canada Unlimited Calling.” Please tell me what I can do so this overage fee does not appear on next month’s bill.
