8. Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Getting connections error while connecting from Zoapi Client app.
    If you are not able to connect to Zoapi Hub from Zoapi Client app or Zoapi Browser app or if the app is requesting an IP address, please check the following.

    1. Make sure your laptop is not connected to VPN
    2. Make sure your laptop has a valid network (Wifi/LAN) that can access Zoapi Hub. Your laptop should be able to reach Zoapi Hub over a local area connection.
    3. Make sure you can open https://share.zoapi.com on your browser (proxy setting should not block this)
    4. Make sure you are entering the correct PIN. Sometimes app might fail to connect while PIN is changing.
    5. Try connecting to Zoapi Wifi AccessPoint (if available) and connect.
  2. Can we share a screen over the internet?
    No. Zoapi uses a local network for screen sharing and media data does not go out of the internal corporate network. So screen share will not work unless you are part of the same network.
  3. When I try to share my screen on Mac using the Zoapi App, I see a black screen on the Zoapi display / I get a popup asking for permissions.
    To be able to share screen with the Zoapi App, make sure ZoapiClient is selected under “Screen Recording” section in System Preferences > Security & Privacy
  4. When I click on Share Audio button while using Zoapi App on my MacBook, I don’t hear any audio / I get a popup asking for permissions.
    To be able to share audio with the Zoapi App, make sure ZoapiClient is selected under “Microphone” section in System Preferences > Security & Privacy
  5. When I try to share my screen on Mac using the Browser, I get an error (TWS00005) / I get a popup asking for permissions.
    To be able to share screen from the Browser, make sure the browser is selected under “Screen Recording” section in System Preferences > Security & Privacy
  6. Zoapi Hub displays a yellow warning icon next to PIN.
    This happens if Zoapi Hub is not connected to the internet. Please talk to your IT admin. The Internet might be blocked due to the following reasons.

    1. Zoapi MAC address is blocked in the corporate network
    2. The network has a proxy and is not configured on the Zoapi Hub
    3. Zoapi Hub IP address is blocked in the corporate firewall
    4. Zoapi is configured to use a static IP address but the network has a conflicting IP address.
  7. We see a delay between the laptop screen and the shared screen.
    Since screen sharing uses streaming of video data, there will be a minimum delay between the laptop screen and the shared screen. This delay depends on the network performance and typically will be in the range of 0.1 – 0.5 sec. If you see any delay of more than 1 – 2sec please check the network connection/speed or try connecting to a different network / Ethernet connection.
