The worst part is, you can click the little x to make it go away, but if you have Zoom minimized, it will bring Zoom up and to the foreground. Then you have to minimize Zoom again. SO annoying.
I frequently start meetings several minutes before any attendees arrive, and while I’m doing other things on the computer waiting for them to come, I get the pop up SO frequently. Zoom hears me typing and is like, “By the way, did you mean to exclude the nobody in your meeting from your typing clicks?”
Another upvote on this. This is a really problematic feature. I am a teacher and sometimes need to wait for students/colleagues to come onto a call late, so while I’m waiting for them and doing some other work on my computer, Zoom is constantly pushing to the front to the desktop. As a result, I am less able to wait for people to join meetings, which should be determined by the educational need not by Zoom’s alert system.
This is so distracting while doing Yoga and spotlighting. No student wants to stop the asana’s and dismiss the popup. Hope zoom is listening. Considering the issue is open for years, I doubt if this will ever be implemented.
We live in a strange world when obvious issues are never fixed even if they look like they’d take like maybe 15 minutes of slow coding. Add a single flag and simply don’t show that extremely annoying popup if that flag is on? Nope, too hard in 2024.
I attend online group lessons and often have to practice my pronunciation when the teacher says “Repeat after me”. Needless to say, this thing pops up every time. Sometimes obscuring parts of the text being read, thank you very much.
As of this morning I’m now getting this pop-up in the mobile app as well. I’m muted on purpose as I’m getting the kids on the school bus in the morning while listening to our company update. That you so much for deciding I should unmute myself so everyone can hear my kids. Please, please, add a disable toggle for this ridiculously annoying “feature”.
