Floating mini window

Hi ​@Brent Sahl,

Welcome to Zoom community! We’re glad to have you here. In the Zoom Workplace app, that “mini window” is controlled by the Always show meeting controls / Show Zoom windows during screen share and Mini Window behavior.

Try these in order:

1. Re-enable Mini Window during a meeting

• Start or join a meeting.
• Click the meeting window’s View menu (top-right of the meeting window).
• Select Mini Window (or toggle back from another view option).
• Then minimize the main meeting window and see if the mini window appears.

2. Check the in-app setting that affects whether Zoom stays visible

• Open Zoom Workplace app (not in a meeting) → Settings.
• Go to General and look for options related to:
  • Always show meeting controls
  • Show Zoom windows during screen share
  • Any option mentioning mini window / picture-in-picture Turn these back on if they’re off.

3. If you screen share, make sure Zoom isn’t set to hide itself

• In a meeting, start Share Screen.
• In the share toolbar, click More (…) and confirm Zoom isn’t set to Hide floating meeting controls (wording can vary by version).

I hope this helps!

Hi, ​@aluyun. Thank you for this guidance. I will save these and try these next time the mini window doesn’t appear and advise.
