I have Teams rooms set up with HP Slices in 3 of our offices, but many of our customers use Zoom as their meeting service. Is there a way to join a Zoom meeting easily from the Teams hardware we have installed?
@astraitman Not yet (at least, not in a directly supported way), but it's my understanding that this is a feature that is coming soon. Keep an eye on the Teams Rooms Release Notes. They just added support to join Cisco WebEx meetings, so it's likely Zoom won't be too far behind.
I actually just figured out a work-around for the time being. If you use the Admin password to log into the windows settings side of the Slice machine, you're actually using a regular windows interface. You can then use a browser to log into any of these other services as usual and join meetings. In my tests, the hardware (webcam, mic, speakers) all functioned normally.
@Jody Finch Is there any word on what hardware will support this feature? We are looking to build out Team Rooms in our conference rooms but we MUST have support for Zoom meetings as well. Don't like just setting up a laptop with W10 and forcing users to either login as themselves or a shared account.
@Jody Finch Thanks for the detailed response. I am using the Logitech Rally Plus (it is a certified device). I do not see the option Settings for Meetings. Also, I do not see the device listed under my Teams Admin > Rooms. The device is acting like a Room. I can use the proximity join feature as expected.
Perhaps Teams Room updates are blocked for some reason (firewall/proxy)? Perhaps you're on a GCC or other cloud that doesn't yet support TMR mgmt and updates? This could be a clue to why the room doesn't show up in the Teams Admin -> Teams Room portal for you too.
Are you able to get to the internet if you log into the Windows on the TRM ("Windows Settings" -> Admin)?
@Jody Finch What device is he using for Teams Room? I have the Nuc with Tap. That screen does not look like mine. For example, I have a blue bar at the top. I only have 4 options on the left; User Account, Features, Theming, Windows Settings. (screenshot below)
Our firewall does not block any outbound TCP/UDP traffic. We do have web filtering via the Palo Alto. I excluded this device to see if that makes any difference. We are not a government tenant. IF anything, we actually have first release enabled on all of our accounts and the tenant.
Still running into a few hiccups. For example, it seems to going to sleep and when it wakes, it can take a couple of minutes some times. I jumped into Windows and turned off all power savings and set it to max performance (it is after all an i7).
I can now manage the device through Teams Admin as well. However, I am surprised I cannot manage updates (or even check for updates). The device is also still running 1909 of Windows. Not sure why 20H1 is not available much less 20H2 at this point).
I was thinking about Intune but I thought devices in intune had to be licensed to a user. This is for a conference room. I suppose, since the conference room has a mailbox and a license, I could use that same account... right now, it is just using the default user account.
I used the Zoom preview today and had a few issues. It decided to use our content camera for the webcam and I wasn't sure how to make it use the other camera. For some reason in the middle of the meeting the screen also went black for a little bit, and when it came back we were not longer able to see the slide show. Just thought I would post some feedback. This was only our first meeting using Zoom on a Teams Room device.
Zoom now allows hosts to enable live, automated transcriptions of their sessions! We at the Disabled Students Program highly recommend instructors activate this feature by default for all their Zoom lectures. Closed captions promote inclusion via universal design. If enabled, all viewers can read closed captions in their Zoom windows at the click of a button!
I have a web page that is used with mobile devices to take signatures, but the signature component doesn't work well in windows mobile 6. When moving the stylus across the component, the screen will pan.
but even though this stops the screen panning, the signature still does not work correctly. I assume that the stylus movements are still being captured for panning and zooming & are not being sent to the activex component.
Check out the TKSetWindowAutoGesture function and the corresponding WAGINFO structure which allows you to specify the gesture-handling functionality for a given window handle. You would have to do this from the ActiveX control, not in the HTML obviously.
I don't have a working example as I am not a Windows Mobile developer, but we had a very similar situation with the Tablet PC when trying to accept ink input in an area that was being served by Vista flick gestures.
Purchased new HP laptop and the pinch zoom is driving me insane, old laptop had an option to turn off via the Settings for the mouse/touchpad under device settings. No device setting tab can be found under the mouse settings or advanced settings, let alone a check box to turn off. HP support centre chap said it is no longer an option available but that seems wrong!!!!
In replying to your question, the IT folks are just telling you how you would turn off pinch zoom if the option to do so were still present. They don't seem to realize that for many users IT'S NOT THERE ANYMORE. It's been removed as a configuratino option from the touchpad settings. I have the same problem. The pinch zoom was driving me nuts and there is no longer any way to turn it off. I tried for weeks to find a solution. I even found some instructions on how to disable it in the Windows Registry but that didn't work either.
Most of the time pinch zoom was causing headaches was when I was browsing the internet. I use Chrome as my browser so I found and installed a Chrome Add On named Zoom Block that disables automatic zooming in Chrome. (Note that you can still zoom when you want to by clicking a Zoom button the extension adds to your browser's toolbar. If you use IE/Edge, Firefox, or etc. check to see if there's a similar extension for your browser.
I had this problem,and was driving me crazy but you can fix it by going into the start menu, seach for Synaptics Touchpad App. Then you can find the settings and turn off pinch Zoom etc. UPDATE There is still a bug, in that Even once you turn it off, it still zooms in sometimes and messes up FB. So turn off 2 finger scrolling, turn on Chiral 1 finger scrolling, (which means moving your finger in a circle.) there is a little settings symbol, scrolling with the arrows is also a solution.
My computer called the Touchpad device an Elan Touchpad - so I searched for that on the internet. I first downloaded/installed a new Elan Touchpad driver, but that did not add a disable button under windows device settings.
Then I searched for Elan Touchpad again and found a control panel/settings program on the Microsoft store and I downloaded/installed that successfully. Then if I bring up the Elan Touchpad Settings Program from the Windows Programs - I can configure the Touchpad to disable all those 2 finger gestures - such as annoying for me pinch to zoom feature. I don't know if I really needed to update the driver first or not.
I have a brand new HP Pavillion B&O laptop - zoom is driving me crazy but when I follow online suggestions to disable, I get as far as selecting the touchpad, but there is no option relating to zoom - please help! If I can't fix this, I will be returning this laptop as it's impossible to work with right now!
Try going to Settings then Touchpad then Additional Settings (on right), then Settings (in mouse properties window) then Gestures and then unclick Pinch Zoom. Hope this helps. I have an HP pro laptop and use Windows 10 and Chrome.
Visual Studio Code has many features to help make the editor accessible to all users. Zoom levels and High Contrast colors improve editor visibility, keyboard-only navigation supports use without a mouse, and the editor is optimized for screen readers.
When you adjust the zoom level with the View > Appearance > Zoom In / Out commands, the zoom level is persisted in the window.zoomLevel setting. The default value is 0 and each increment/decrement changes the zoom level by 20 percent.
Assigning a color to the background of editorError and editorWarning also helps to identify potential issues. The color that you choose will highlight the respective error or warning. The colors shown in the preceding example, #ffef0f (yellow) and #37777ff (blue), are more accessible to individuals with common forms of color vision deficiencies.
Unfocused views can be dimmed to make it clearer where typed input will go. This is especially useful when working with multiple editor groups or terminals. Turn on this feature by setting "accessibility.dimUnfocused.enabled": true. You can control the dimness level with accessibility.dimUnfocused.opacity, which takes the opacity fraction from 0.2 to 1 (default 0.75).
You can use the Tab key to navigate between UI controls in VS Code. Use Shift+Tab to tab in reverse order. As you tab through the UI controls, an indicator will appear around each UI element when it has focus.
