| Zoom fixes microphone display errors on macOS |
Zoom has fixed a common bug in its macOS app where macOS Monterey continues to show an orange recording indicator even after the meeting is over. Users need to update the video conferencing app to fix the error.
There have been reports of an error accessing the microphone in the app for macOS Monterey. Many users still see the orange indicator visible in macOS even after the call has ended.
The dot indicates to the user that the camera or microphone can still be turned on and recording, and an orange dot appears when the microphone is in use.
Spotlight is a privacy feature introduced by Monterey that notifies you when the app uses the microphone to prevent users from recording secretly.
It turns out this bug has been around for a while and was fixed by Zoom as part of the macOS 5.9.3 app update release in late January.
The platform first tried to fix the bugs in update 5.9.1 released in December. The release notes indicate that Zoom has fixed an issue where the microphone light would flash when not going through a macOS Monterey meeting. But it seems that this solution does not work for everyone.
A Zoom spokesperson said: “Our January 25, 2022 release of the macOS app fixed a bug that caused the microphone to incorrectly terminate after a meeting.
He added, "Zoom has determined that this error did not result in the audio being pushed to the Zoom platform." As always, we recommend users to update the app to the latest version.
No audio stream to zoom
The orange dot was previously an issue for Mac users, with live performers complaining in December that the dot was visible in the corner of the screen.
It is about live performances that are visible to the audience. These monitors are based on Macs that display video on large external monitors and monitors.
This obviously raises privacy concerns. This is because Zoom has had serious privacy issues on Macs in the past.
The company was accused in 2020 of misleading users about offering end-to-end encryption. The company did not offer an end-to-end encryption system at the time.
It turns out that in March 2020, the platform bypassed Apple's security features. This prompted him to suspend development of new features for 90 days to fix problems.
