As many people I started using Zoom because of lockdown and I had to make do and learn to use it, etc. But the last couple of months they’re just changing stuff like crazy and neither I nor my students have enough time to get used to all these changes. I NEED THE OLD WHITEBOARD BACK. And I just noticed the new update on iOS, I’m getting frustrated ? submitted by /u/motanz [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

For some background I go to a tech school that has a big deaf student population. I get that it's not difficult to add transcripts to a video, but I find it ridiculous that a massive company like zoom doesn't have the ability to just keep the captions on the video when it's downloaded. It downloads the transcript alongside the video, but it's still insane that it downloads the transcript separately. Captions should be incredibly basic at this point, it's adding words to the video. It's an accessibility issue and should be very easy to fix. Am I missing something? Thoughts? Edit: Download need ..read more

Hello. I manage/administer a few computers that are used by many users (average computer has 80 user profiles). They need to use Zoom every day (I am relatively new to this part of Zoom). Due to the audio setup of the room, the default audio configuration for Zoom has to be changed. The problem I have is that every user needs to adjust the configuration individually (it remains for the same user across different logins, usually) when they first login into the computer. Is there any way to have Zoom give all the users the same configuration no matter who logs in and avoid them having to adjust ..read more

I recently got a set of Shokz Comm2 for Zoom calls. When I unmute myself (either using the zoom unmute button or the Shokz's headset button), a voice plays that says "mute off". The problem is, everyone on the call can hear it. Is there a solution to this? submitted by /u/Davissw [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey, I am building a web app and I am wondering if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions about implementing a "one-way preview" feature with the Zoom Video API. The goal is for a user to be able to view a incoming caller's video (without audio). The context is a 1on1 video call use case. With such a one-way preview feature, the user being called would be able to decide, based on the camera feed of the caller, whether or not they would like to answer the call. Our current integration has the person being called as the "host", but maybe the caller should be the "host"? We are also calculating ..read more

I use Zoom for online drum lessons with students. I am very aware of the audio for musicians and original sound settings, and have never had any problems. Today, I had a new international student, and I used a tried and tested setup for the audio. I have multiple mics running into dedicated Yamaha USB mixing desk, one for my voice and one for my drum pad. My client was just using an intergrated webcam mic on his laptop. Before the call, I thoroughly tested my setup, ensuring that my mixer routing was correct and that my mics were both being picked up through the mixer's stereo output and into ..read more

I have 3 monitors via HDMI. Which makes zoom think they have speakers for some reason. Any way to prevent zoom from seeing them as audio output devices? submitted by /u/facelessposter [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

So recently Zoom revamped their application and now calls it Zoom Workplace. Is it just me or does anyone else think this is a rather stupid move? Here are thoughts: As a word, "Zoom" is very simple, easy to remember, and effective in its semantics, conveying speed and efficiency and most of all, ease. "Zoom Workplace" is a mouthful, semantically narrows the scope to "workplace" when we all know that there are a ton of events out there that use Zoom and are neither work nor office related. During the earlier parts of COVID, whom here did not attend some kind of funeral or memorial service tha ..read more

I have a user who's hosting several hours-long meetings/workshops. She always records these meetings. I have all users on our our Zoom account set to: Auto-record meetings (though the host does have the ability to start/stop the recordings at their leisure) Record to our Cloud Storage (this cannot be changed by non-admin hosts) On review of the recordings after the meetings, however, she's noticed that the recordings are sometimes cut off. About a month ago, it was about the last 10min that wasn't recorded. Not that big of a deal, though still annoying. But for yesterday's meeting, a whole ..read more

I'm getting the helpful error 1132 in Windows. But I'm able to sign in to the website and start / join meetings. I can also sign in from my phone to start / join meetings without errors. The only device giving 1132 is the Windows desktop client. (Which I uninstalled and reinstalled with no success. New Windows account also had no success.) It's safe to assume I'm not banned / blacklisted, right? I would think they would lock the account entirely if there was a ToS violation. Not really sure what's going on. Anybody experience anything similar? submitted by /u/ohnoineedtosignup [visit reddit ..read more
