Scheduled Zoom meeting invitation Friday

If you're talking about the ignore feature here on SF, it will have no effect on Zoom.

A quick Google (so I could be wrong) tells me that there isn't a way to ignore a participant in a Zoom Meeting.

In any event, up to now, these have been very small gatherings (5 - 6 people at most) and it would then be very obvious if you had someone on "ignore" as you'd miss chunks of conversation.

What you can do, if there someone there that you really don't want to interact with but you also really want to attend the meeting, is attend via audio or chat only. :)

EDIT: On further search, there might be a workaround (although, really I don't think you'll need it ♥) : https://devforum.zoom.us/t/mute-zoom-meeting-participant-just-for-me-mute-for-me/32728

Okay Update: I was just in a one-to-one Zoom and I tried and was able to both mute and cut the video of the other participant. Having done that though, I did have to request they turn those features back on.

I realize you don't plan on actually doing this and were just curious, but I thought, since I was already there and for the sake of thoroughness in my answer, I'd give it a try.

Okay, wait; I've just realized that I was the creator of the above-mentioned meeting and so that may be why I was able to cut their audio and video. Sooo, back to being not entirely sure and not much help with a "just curious" question. :/ lol

I am also curious, and I will throw this out there.
If someone is only appearing as ANON with a black space, no audio or video, it could be anyone.
At our last meeting, someone showed up, and I have an idea of who it was. There is one member who must be in on every conversation about everything, but I guess there is no way to avoid her.
I was asked about this in a PM, so we will do our best to carry on and have enjoyable conversations.

Well, that's a little disturbing. You/we can however, do something about that. The person creating the meeting has the ability to remove people and once removed, they cannot come back. I know this because a while back, when @PeppermintPatty and I were attempting to have a practice Zoom and I was waiting for her, someone entered the room under "T" with no audio or video.

I asked them to text something and warned that otherwise I'd have to remove them and when they didn't and consequently I did, I was given a notice that they would not be able to come back.

I am a little creeped out now as "ANON" used to attend my meetings and I never thought much about it, just a shy member, but it is a bit creepy, to not even text.

What harm is done by an ANON? We are not revealing any state secrets or anything.

Perhaps its a way for a shy person to listen in, and maybe feel comfortable enough to join in person in the future.

I never minded it much, @Alligatorob, but it is getting a bit weird that it happens at nearly every meeting. I would be happy with a quick text here, e.g., "Hi, just lurking..."

I don't want to make anyone feel unwelcome and certainly not uncomfortable, but I don't think a few typed words are too much to ask for everyone's comfort level.
 
For myself, that’s seriously creepy!
I wouldn’t like a anonymous person listening in on any conversation no matter what the conversation is about. I’m so glad action can be taken if that ever happens.
 
Speaking of, whilst we're on the subject, I'm up for a Pop-Up at say... around 6:00pm EST (which is in about 15) if anyone's in the mood?

My hair is a bit of a mess, but I don't mind if you don't. ;)

I have a tendency to think of things that no one else does :unsure:

But that is the curious nature in me....so that being said, here is a question.

What if you have someone on "Ignore" .....would you still be able to see or hear them on zoom?

good question Lee....

I’ve no idea who it was but can assure you that it wasn’t me. While on the aloof side and maybe a tad creepy 😬 I’d never do anything like this. If I’m going to say or do anything creepy I do it in the open. 🤪

Exactly ! It seems like someone out to intentionally wreck it for others.
I might wreck it for others but it’s not done intentionally. 😂🤷‍♀️
 
I’m going to take myself off the list
The chances of me feeling comfortable amongst a group chatting are slim to none.
The chances of making others uncomfortable with my presence is very high.

I seem to make others uncomfortable at the site in general so I will remove myself from the forum as well.

There’s no way I’d eavesdrop on your conversations though but can understand why you’d think it was me🙁

What? Wait, what the hell happened while I was sleeping? @PeppermintPatty, of course I don't want you to feel like you're stuck here if you're really not comfortable, but I'd hate to see you leave the forum!

So, don't be on the Zoom list, but yeesh, don't let that little thing, the Zoom thing, which is only of note to like, 3% of the peeps here, drive you from the list. (I mean the forum).

We have so much in common, girl; I'm weird and I piss people off all the time!

Okay, that came out differently than I meant... LOL ♥️
