“If the boss is still like “nope, you have to be on zoom all the time.” Then I would be like “ok, but I’m muting you and minimizing zoom, so if you need me, message me first.” If that’s too much, see you later I guess.”
“The reason to just let Zoom do it's automatic disclosure is that if it's only disclosed at the beginning of the meeting and someone joins late they don't know others are watching and you could be violating wiretap laws.”
“But the thing that bothers me right now is that they're now saying it's only 40 minutes of meeting and that if you scheduled something like a monthly meeting or even a bi-monthly we meeting that you can no longer do that and it won't be available after October 23rd.”
“Yes, 1 laptop for 'normal' zoom meeting using OBS to stream that meeting via HDMI/SDI to 2nd laptop with capture device for the other Zoom meeting (need 2nd separate zoom account).”
“I join a second PC to the Zoom 1 and use that to actually listen in. Then on my primary PC I use Voicemeeter (or Logitech's Mixline as a very good free version) as my mic and send that to the 'Speaker' of Zoom 2. Then I pull in content and cameras to vMix using the plug in and then do a virtual out of that to my camera on Zoom 2.”
“title kind of says it all, I have a medical client that wants to do a virtual advisory board meeting with their health care providers, and they want a second meeting that company employees can dial into but not show up in the zoom call paricipants list.”
“From my experience, Zoom cloud transcripts are only accessible if the host decides to share them with viewers separately from the recording. If you're just viewing a shared Zoom recording and don’t see transcript or captions options, the host likely didn't enable sharing the transcript file.”
“I continue to be added to zoom meetings where I don’t know the sender and have no interest in joining. It’s happening multiple times a day and even more on the weekends. I searched Reddit to find other threads on this, but was unable to find any.”
“Zoom generates the transcript during processing of a cloud recording, so it is not something that can be produced later from an existing recording. If it was off, there is no transcript file to ask for.”
“I checked Zoom's help page and found that, when a cloud transcript is generated, it's saved as a separate .vtt file with text and timestamps. The host can also choose whether viewers see the transcript.”
“Hi, I'd be happy to talk with you, I'm currently moderate and slightly declining so I could manage a short zoom call and maybe follow up emails if you needed more info”
“My Company recently switched to Zoom, replacing a perfectly functional VOIP app, and it seems to leave a LOT to be desired. I'm wondering if there are any power user solutions to customize it.”
“Or simply pointing a phone at the screen. The amount of shock on the c-suite faces when I suggested that anyone could do this to a sensitive zoom meeting was pretty amazing.”
“We have users register for meetings from different sources. We would like to know which sources the registrants came from. If not exact per regstrant, then a count of how many registered from each source.”
“And if you've done Zoom meetings, no one can guarantee the quality of them. We have defences with remote examiners all the time and it absolutely takes away from the quality, and that's just the way it is.”
“(7) can you please discuss with the rest of the committee on how to proceed by the end of this week so that I can alert my new boss if zoom attendance of Y would be unacceptable and we need a reschedule”
“She asked if she could join by zoom or reschedule, I said zoom would be best since it’s already scheduled, but I can re-poll the committee if she prefers. She said she would like to reschedule if it works.”
“They have an option to prevent screen recordings but it’s super strict and requires the latest version of the zoom app. Additionally, this means that folks who join via the web version of Zoom will only receive audio.”
“Move to Google, use google meets and get away from zoom. If you pay for the upgrade and use AI from Google it'll take notes, meeting minutes and actions all by using their ecosystem.”
“OBS Studio does this well and it's free, has a Mac build too. Add a window capture source for the Zoom call, turn captions on in Zoom so they show over the video, and OBS records exactly what's on screen straight to mp4. Skips the paid cloud plan and skips muxing the separate transcript file in afterward.”
“However, the first time I joined a Zoom meeting over WiFi on my computer, other participants' video would sometimes go black and audio would glitch. Zoom would report that my internet connection was unstable/bump me off the call.”
“However, in my personal experience, the Fletcher Free Library has a private soundproof booth for calls (in the main reading room) and I've hosted sessions with clients via Zoom there. They allowed me to use a full hour even though the official time limit is something like half that because no one else was waiting to use it.”
