My zoom camera zoom in by itself when i get closer to the screen or follow my movement. How to resolve it.?

Hey great video as always. Would you mind making one about Skype? I use that with a group of friends to play board games and for Drum lessons. Wondering if you have any tips or insight on how to improve that experience.

Thanks and as always keep up the good work!

How do I turn off the "team chat" option and just go back to my old chat where I can chose individual names or "everyone" instead of "team members?"

[lorenzoarodriguez]

Thanks for explaining these settings; I can think of a couple of my meetings where I can use the space bar to un-mute and going back to being muted.

[StockMarketCaddie]

Another great there any way to HIDE THE PARTICIPANT LIST, so that those in the chat room or attending the personal meeting have privacy that they are attending????

I'm running Zoom 5.8.4 on Linux and my interface looks significantly different. Especially, there's no gear icon. Is this expected? Have they actually made a different UI for Linux?

Thankyou . Great tips. Just wanted to add a a woman who spend a lot of time on zoom I figured out a way to look perfectly made-up any time and all the time on zoom. In the background and filters go down and choose studio effects, select your eyebrow makup, lipcolor s lect opacity for each suggest you keep it mid way that way it doesn't look odd when you move. Remember to click apply to all future meetings . And boom you are perfectly made-up for every meeting. Not to mention the huge savings in buying cosmetics.

This new update killed the option to remove "suppress background noise"... I want it OFF entirely. Not "low". As a music teacher, someone playing piano or bass or even guitar, cuts the audio out completely... even with them turning off the automatic microphone level adjustment. Zoom needs to fix this NOW.

Great video and awesome tutorial!! Thanks so much!

Excellent content and presentation, thank you! My profile picture shows up at very low resolution, much lower than the actual photo. I have tried to put a tiny Title Card with my website URL, and they look terrible, too. Any way to improve the resolution? Thank you!

How to prevent zoom pop up menu on my presentation? It is very annoying. I want to focus on presentation, not zoom menus.
