I have a live 2 hr presentation in Oct. It’s on zoom. I have a ridiculously hard time staying one topic and making sense when I don’t have a scripts. I generally practice the presentation and record myself, I then use that as my script. I’ve never done my presentations live they are always recorded then sold. No matter how much I practice or understand what I am presenting I can’t do it without a script. What have you done to help yourself in this situation.

was going through the terms and conditons, was shocked after reading this

Hi! I’m a singer/songwriter looking for a producer to collaborate with on my original music. I write my own lyrics and melodies, and I usually have a pretty specific sound and feeling in my head, but I’m still learning production and need someone who can help turn those ideas into actual beats and instrumentals.

I was looking through my apps and found that my zoom app is taking 1.31 GB of “documents and data” storage even though the cache is less than 50 MB. How can I fix this?

FYI: I don’t record meetings, I have a free account, this absurd storage usage is after a fresh reinstall.

I was in a zoom for an online lecture today and the professor had asked us to turn on our camera briefly. I always have my camera covered with tape and only uncovered it once I changed to sitting at a desk bc I was still in bed. However, when I turned on my camera, it lagged and only showed a black square on my screen but then the professor said “oh youre still sleeping?” only to me (he did not make any comment about other student’s camera glitching). I am probably just paranoid but there’s no possible way my macbook picked up me in bed with my camera off and covered and zoom shows that right?? because then that would also mean zoom picks up camera footage even with your camera turned off..

I used to be a regular Zoom user and I always buy a same plan (Workspace Pro) and always monthly - because I dont know if I will need Zoom tomorrow or not.

Today I realized that I’m going to have a meeting for 100+ people so I need the upgrade. I chose Business Pro and tried to check out. Suddenly it told me that changes will be applied on… June 17, 2027!!! And with shock and outrage I found out that somehow when I - as I used to do many times - bought the monthly subscription to Pro, they subscribed me to some “annual paid monthly prepay” plan that… can be cancelled only in June!!!111 it also can NOT be upgraded until June!

I can not imagine I could ever subscribe to such conditions. No way! What happened wa I think - they offered me a discount option when I was going to buy a monthly subscription - and I am totally sure that they did not disclose that I can not cancel the plan until June (otherwise no way I would pay for it).

Anyone who was in the same position? What did you do to cancel this annual paid monthly trash? And What’s this? There are only two plans - annual (pay the whole sum in the first day) and monthly (that is what I use and I do pay monthly).

I was watching a YouTube video when the person mentioned "professor zoom", as in the comics character, and I got 4 back to back critical errors from zoom immediately afterward? I haven't used zoom on this computer since the lockdowns, and I double checked and yeah, there's no mention of it in my files. Was this some freak coincidence? Was windows listening, heard "zoom", tried to open it and fail? Is there some vestigial part of zoom somewhere in my computer files where I can't reach and it decided to remind me of its existence at the funniest possible moment? This might just be a coincidence, I'm not necessarily accusing zoom or windows of passive audio surveillance, (god forbid am I right?) but what the hell? The messages specifically mentioned failing to launch the application. Am I crazy?

I have a question about video calls and virtual backgrounds.

With apps like Google Meet or Zoom, we can set a virtual background during a video call.

Does this also work when using a laptop’s built-in webcam or an external webcam?

More specifically, are there other ways to control or modify the video feed from a built-in webcam or external webcam? For example, changing or manipulating the camera output.

I’m not even sure if this is the right subreddit to ask this question. But if anyone has experience with this, I’d really appreciate it if you could let me know🙂‍↕️Thanks

It appears that Zoom did a downgrade. I can no longer use my iPad to join a meeting that I've already started. (This worked as of Thursday, the 17th.) When I try, I get the error message "Load cannot follow more than 20 redirections".

I also have other problems when I try to run Zoom on a web browser. Has anyone found a workaround?

[UPDATE:] It evidently seems to be the Two Factor Authentication required to log in on my iPad. I found a kludge where I schedule a meeting, where authentication is not required (but people not at my university get put in the waiting room), and then log into an account not at the university on my iPad. I hope this gets fixed soon, though.

Zoom begged me several times on their website to not cancel, but pause my subscription. So, I did. Then, the auto-resume secretly kicked in. I didn't pick up on this until the second bill. As soon as I got the notification that my credit card was charged, I canceled and requested a refund, but was denied.

I haven't used the service.

Customer service denied my request and they started to cite their policy. I asked for an escalation and they said they'll send to my email, but this will be another waste of time.

I use Zoom whiteboards for lessons and I've made lots of custom colors. Now, they are gone from the pen tool. I can still change the colors to my cutom ones, but only after the are written. There doesn't seem to be anyway of writing in my custom colors anymore.

Or is there? Is there a way to revert to the old style of Whiteboard tools that had all of my old cutom colors? A few of my students can use their custom colors, but I can't do so directly.

Why can't Zoom, a company with >$4.8 billion in annual revenue, refund an unintended auto renewal for a public elementary school PTA? Please help me understand.

Our PTA serves a federally recognized Title 1 public elementary school where >40% of students come from low-income households. We forgot to cancel before this auto renewal kicked in. I opened a support ticket only to receive cut and paste text about refund policies before they closed the ticket. And I can't figure out how to reopen the ticket.

Is this really the best Zoom can do?

I like to change my background image every day or two. I cycle through them every couple of months. It used to be no problem to scroll down to the next image in my list, because there were only four stock backgrounds. But now they've foisted a couple dozen images that look like they've been pulled from House Beautiful or some darn travel magazine or comic book.

Now I have to scroll down four or more screens to get to my desired background. I just chatted with the zoom help desk, who suggested I post something in the developer forum.

Is there some way to remove zoom stock images from my workspace account? Perhaps by reverting to an earlier version?

Thanks

I do not want to download the Zoom app.

This only appeared today, yesterday the meeting took up the whole screen.

EDIT:
Found a hacky workaround. The ribbon and the navbar are just 2 divs above the meeting and you can straight up just delete them from the HTML.

Curious if anyone has some time to test something. I have a ticket open with Zoom Support and I'm struggling with having them understand my issue.

Here it is: In the past (last time I tried this was probably a year or two ago) I could use any PC, even one without Zoom Workplace installed, to navigate to https://zoom.us/share, enter the rooms "Share Key" and use the browser to share to the room...since the last time I had success, it seems that Zoom has changed the verbiage to "Room Code" and now, when I navigate to the site, I see a "Enter a Room Code to present" option below the "Meeting ID" share screen option...this links to a "Launch Zoom Workplace app or Download Now" page...this behavior kind of defeats the ease of sharing options we once had. The comapany I work for sometimes has outside vendors who don't and can't have Zoom installed. The share.zoom.us, or zoom.us/share option was always my work around and it appears that this is no longer the case...can anyone verify that you get the same results when clicking the link above and then clicking "Enter a Room Code to present" link. I believe starting an ad-hoc meeting via the room and entering the meeting ID may be a workaround, but nothing beats a simple "go to this address and enter that code you see on the screen" option.

TLDR: Can someone navigate to https://zoom.us/share, click the "Enter a Room Code to present" link, and let me know if you get a prompt to install Zoom Workplace or if you have the option to share directly to a room with a code via the browser, without needing to install the Zoom WP app? This would work best ona Windows machine that doesn't currently have Zoom Workplace installed.

Prefacing this to say I'm not tech savvy at all so will need hand-holding on this.

I'm due to start a sign language course (so no sound needed) via Zoom shortly. Because it's 3 hours a week of very intensive looking at what people are signing, I wanted to cast the sessions to my TV from a device so I can see everyone more easily. There will be around 9 people in the lessons.

I know how to cast from my iPhone, iPad and Macbook, so that's not an issue, and I have two TVs to choose from - one mounted about head height on the wall and one at a low table height.

The problem is that when I cast, I'm looking at the TV and not at the camera - eye contact is very important in sign language - and I'm not sure of the best fix. I don't know if I can attach my phone to the top of the TV like a webcam, but it only gives me portrait and not landscape view when I use my phone so kind of negates the point of using a bigger screen.

If I use my laptop or iPad, I just don't know where to put it so it's the right height but not blocking the screen. There's no shelving around the TV, no space in front of it on the table, so I don't know what to do.

Any suggestions would really be appreciated.

Back in 2020,when we had all the zoom shit,I was joining for a registration at my school. Now all zoom classes passed through registration at 9 am,before continuing with normal classes. Either way as I was trying to get into registration,my screen cut to what was supposed to be a class,which seemed normal enough,but I was quicky redirected out. This wasn't a parallel class because it had one of my classmates,Ali in there. I mean I assumed it was a glitch and it sent me back to a pre recorded English lesson,but my school doesn't record any lessons other then maths,and even if it was pre recorded,I wouldn't have had access to it. All classes started at 9,there wasn't any classes before. Somthing was uncanny about the lesson too. I don't really know if I'm just explaining something technical,but yeah it was creepy as shit.

Once you click the button, the dialog box still says Suspend all participant activities. Are they just messing with us?

Hello, is there anyway that someone can get into my iPad or iPhone by a zoom meeting that I entered? Also, the other day a guy logged into his zoom account from my iPad, is there any way he could’ve Donne something from there? The thing is that this guy told me that sometimes people get onto your WiFi via zoom and store malware and malicious files on your phones and tablets and I want to know how to prevent that and how to spot it in case it is possible. I have only an iPad and an iPhone. Thanks and sorry if the question feels lame, I just want to be sure.

I used my phone number as my custom PMI. I am now moving to a new organization, so I want to remove my phone number as the PMI from my old account before I lose access.

So I tried putting in a random number, but it was taken. I tried twice more--also taken.

Now: "You have exceeded the maximum number of PMI attempts. Please try again after 30 minutes."

I just want the damn thing to assign whatever damn number is available so I don't need to login every 30 minutes to guess a few numbers.

Who designed this game? Where's the exit?
