Photo Zoom Video App
Ariano Waiker
I think it's because we use a google login and it always defaults to the google profile picture on our email. This would be alright except the image is turned into a 10x10 blurry mess. If we change the profile picture or delete it, it will return the next day. This is a significant oversight by the Zoom team. Is there a fix for this?
We're having the same problem logging into the zoom app. It keeps reverting to the Gmail picture and not using the zoom profile pictures we've saved. It works half the time and half the time its different. Please fix!
Can you give me some idea of "when it works" and "when it doesn't"? I'm told by my Zoom contacts that if you have a Zoom profile picture set, it should use that -- even if you log in with a Google-based account.
I'm not really a Google user, so I've been telling you what I think is the answer based on Zoom documentation and what I hear from other folks. But today I pulled out one of my Google accounts and linked it to the Zoom account - which was easy! But then I changed profile pictures in several "normal" ways... and now I see what you're saying -- it's kind of crazy!
A little to add to this, I logged into one of our other zoom accounts in a google chrome tab, closed the tab while still being signed into the zoom app. When I went to open a zoom meeting it is using the profile of the other zoom account that I closed out of (I didn't log out but assumed the app would override especially when I closed the tab).
I have an accordion block positioned to the right of an image. When I expand the accordion, the image zooms in, even though the blocks aren't overlapping and don't seem like they should affect each other. I've attached 2 screenshots of the expanded/non expanded accordion. As you can see, it also increases the height of the image. I don't have this problem when the accordion is above the image, and not to the side, but I'd prefer it be on the side.
One workaround is to adjust the height or position of Blocks. For example, if the Accordion Block is the same height as the Image Block, when the accordion expands, all the grid rows will expand, making the Image Block stretch too.
This worked for me - if you select the image block that is zooming and set a fixed height, the image doesn't change as you expand the accordion. The whitespace of the section still expands below the accordion but it doesn't look nearly as bad as the image zoom!
This worked for me as well, so thank you! For those of us that aren't particularly techy, here is how to find the block ID for the image you're wanting to prevent from stretching. Make sure it is the ID that starts with "block". Then, to enter the CSS, go to Design > Custom CSS and copy/paste the code above, replacing the "block-71dg10454aa196265419" with your block ID. You can do this with multiple images if you move to a new line in the CSS and repeat the process for each block ID.
I notified Squarespace of this issue and they said they are aware of it , but have no intention of fixing it. I found that if I set the image to "fit" instead of fill, and then aligned it vertically that it solved the issue.
Changing keyframe can lead to different view angle and therefore to crop down but as presented in video above it is also happening in steady photos where crop down is not necessary! So it is a system flaw bar feature.
Please stop manipulating this feed. This is not expected behavior! And again you are lying in your statement! default keyframe has same size and place in live video as new keyframe so no cut out is needed!
This is how live photos work. A live photo is a normal photo (the default key photo) together with a short video clip. The video clip is not the same "zoom" as the normal photo - it is (as you have found) slightly higher zoom/crop.
and while it's great for some types of images it doesn't work with what I usually have to look at. Something that bothers me is that when I close the program it shows the image without blurriness for a split second, so I wonder if I there's a way to completely disable the feature. Good program alternatives are also appreciated.
The default Windows 10 app for viewing pictures is Photos. On the other hand Windows Photo Viewer is an older app, which I - and many others - preferred. You can still enable this program on Windows 10 to get the old behaviour back.Here's A tutorial on how to do it, although it requires some registry edits, which always seem a bit scary. It worked perfectly for me though. See comparison below:
If you don't want to download a new program, you could use Paint (Windows accessories>Paint). Open your image, select view, zoom in and there are the pixels. Check the grid lines box to make the pixel boundaries even clearer.
Is there a way to share an image so that other users only see the image? I mean, yes I know you can open this image with the "Windows Photos" app and share this window. But this is not very professional because people would see many buttons and other things that you don't want to show like the title bar, edit button, arrows, etc ...
Solution 1) A professional solution is to insert your images in a powerpoint or similar presentation software. First start the presentation, then share the presentation in Zoom.
Solution 2) Only using Zoom and any photo software, you can go on "share screen -> advanced -> portion of screen", so you can select exactly what you want to share. Be careful as this will capture independently of the application any window(s) which is in the foreground. Zoom will remember the position of the shared portion between subsequent shares, even in different meetings, so you can start an empty meeting and set up your screen, close that meeting and only then enter the meeting in which you want to share your images.
Alternatively, on some platforms, Zoom has a "Share Screen / Advanced" option to share a video without window borders. If you can turn the image into a silent video lasting longer than your talk, you can then play that video to Zoom, and interrupt it when you want the image removed.
Edit: this does not work with all Zoom versions: some of them fail to play the resulting video, either giving a format error or hanging on "started screen sharing" (even if the OS's default player does play the video successfully), so test first.
I want zoom to display just my initials, like when you have no profile picture, but every time I got to the web settings and delete my profile picture, it keeps re-appearing in the next logon (it uses my Gmail account picture).
I use Google to sign in to Zoom. I can log in and out of zoom.us in the browser and there are no issues with my profile pic changing. But if I somehow get signed up of the desktop app (v. 5.12.2 (9281)) and sign back in, my profile pic changes to my Google account image.
If you use Google and have a picture on Google, you can temporarily delete it from Zoom, but if you EVER log back in to Zoom then your Google picture magically shows back up, and it shows up in all your meetings until you log in and delete it again while making sure to never log in again. (I speculate it is pulling it from Google, but I haven't tried changing my Google pic to see since I use a workaround, I never login again once deleted).
Yeah, mine's broken too. Zoom won't let me replace the pic in my own dxxn account, and I don't even use google to log on. It would be ok, but I can't get a picture to show at all now when my video is off. Just shows my name. I've given up.
Nope, it is still not possible. I just double checked now, it simply comes right back the next time you login. My solution, I found a monogram of my initials as an image and uploaded it to Zoom. This gave Zoom something else to have since it simply will not let you go back to using your initials once you've let it know you have an image.
I was walking around London recently with my camera and I got a bit bored, as I had been wandering by the same part of the city a thousand times, waiting for inspiration. To make it more fun I thought I would try experimenting with long shutter speeds. All of a sudden things got interesting and before I knew it a few hours had passed by.
Here is an article on how to do slow shutter zoom photography. Photography, like many things in life, is easy once you know how. Here is my 6-point guide to creating these impressive effects (there is also a cheat sheet at the bottom of the post that you can print and take with you as a reminder of how to do it).
Although the secret to creating these types of photographs is to have a slow shutter speed, this will only work well in dim lighting and on overcast days. When the sun is out you might well find this technique near impossible to achieve, this is due to over exposure. The problem is easy to combat, to an extent, by increasing the aperture value to as high as it will go. For example, if you set the aperture on your camera to F32 this will make the hole in your lens very small, automatically reducing the amount of light entering the camera. It is also better to have your ISO down low. Try setting it at around 100 as this actually makes the sensor in your camera less sensitive to light, therefore, when the shutter is open your photograph will not be over exposed.
Putting your camera in shutter priority is a good place to start with your ISO set to a low value, just turn the dial down to increase the shutter time until you get the results you are looking for. If the light is changing because of the clouds then you will have to tweak shutter speed for the current light levels. I use 1 second as a starting point and then adjust the shutter speed from there up or down to get the results that I want.
