Frozen/Shaky/Unidentified video problem

Since two weeks, I'm having problems with zoom, with the video. I don't really understand what's happening, I've never had these issues before. My image is shaky, freezing, it's very hard to describe actually and I'm not sure if anyone had the same problem.I do'nt think it's the webcam or PC issue, because 1) I've tried to uninstall and install again 2) I've logged with a different account 3) I used Zoom on a different PC. Everytime this problem occurs. 
I'm attaching a screenshot, it visualizes the problem better. 
Please any tips, help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

      Then maybe it’s zoom updates?

      Yes, I think so too. It's probably a bug. If it is, I hope it gets fixed with the next update. It's quite annoying.

        I'm having the same issue. Someone told me that I could go back to a prior version of Zoom until it's fixed. It's so annoying.

          Oh wow so apparently it is problem with the zoom! Did you go back to the prior version? If yes, do you know how to do it?

          I couldn't figure out how to go back to an older version, but I saw another solution posted about this so I'm passing it along.

              Thank you! I'll try this method and perhaps go back to the older version, until this sh*t gets fixed.

              Video freezing is happening for me as well.  How do I go back to the older version?

              Hi, I followed the advice that lilicollege posted above and it worked. Don't know how to go to the previous version though.

              dear everyone, I also followed the advice lilicollege posted and it worked for me as well. In case it still doesn't work for you, and you want to go back to older version, I found this link, I don't know how safe it is though, but yeah... here it is. https://zoom-us-zoom.en.uptodown.com/windows/versions

              Thanks for posting this issue. My web cam (Logitech C920s) was working fine with my Zoom meetings which I've been running now since before Covid.  And all of a sudden, it started showing a video image that was shaking, discolored, etc.. So, your research here is greatly appreciated.  
              Q:  Did you find that going back to the previous version of Zoom fixed your problem?

              Hello John. I'm not sure if your problem is same as mine, but basically what worked for me is the tip that lilicollege posted (please scroll up a little to find that comment in this thread). But in case it doesn't work, you can download older Zoom versions and see if that helps. I'm posting the link again: https://zoom-us-zoom.en.uptodown.com/windows/versions . 
              I hope it works!
