    If the chat window background turned black, it's usually due to Zoom's appearance settings or your system's dark mode. Try switching Zoom to Light mode under Settings > General > Theme, or disable dark mode in your operating system. If that doesn't help, restarting Zoom or updating to the latest version is worth trying.
