I see Horizontal dashes - dashed lines like this on screen over other participants. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Zoom. Still persists. Anyone else seen this and/or solved it?

    I recommend submitting a support ticket so we could check this further. Thanks.

    Dear Zoom:  Seriously, this is unacceptable and a known problem shared among many users.  This problem appeared without my changing anything except maybe after one of your updates (which is automatic in my settings).  I like using Zoom, please don't force me to petition my institution to change to a different solution.  Not sure my voice alone would get them to change, but again--"known problem shared among many users."

     

    It's not difficult for you, Zoom, to replicate the problem.  Install your latest client.  Zoom with someone else.  Maximize your screen.  You'll see dashes over their video.

    I raised a ticket 2 weeks ago.  It gas no been escalated to second level. The same fix ( which doesn't work) has been suggested many times.  I am so surprised that a tech company that provides a comms product, can't sort this out.  And also doesn't appear to established a 'known issue' protocol and is therefore not communicating with all effected users at once.  I like using zoom, and am very patient, however I am a Coach working online with clients and this is very distracting for especially as my clients aren't aware that they are in a zoom 'cage' talking to me from behind bars!

    @EB_Bathan  Don't mean to pick on you but you're all we've got with regard to a Zoom employee.  What are the channels you have available to get this thing in the repair pipeline? Clearly all we can do is keep trying various things that we pick up or are told to try...zero of which have worked.  I'm tired of seeing my colleagues in cages. I'm willing to bury an idol and howl at the moon, but there's got to be a more elegant solution.

    This is so frustrating.  Why does zoom not fix this?

    Mystery - I've been on two Zooms, yesterday and today, where the cage lines did not occur.  I haven't done anything.  Maybe resolved?🤞

    Did not happen yesterday in a meeting with 5 other participants, but the lines are back today in a zoom meeting I just had with one other person. The lines disappear when view is minimized; they also disappear when someone is sharing their screen. Puzzling, irritating.

    Mine returned and would not go aways at all

    Back for me too.  Initially there were none.  Then the host changes the position of his camera/screen and they appeared.  However, it didn't happen when he shared his screen.  I think "Irritating" should go before "Puzzling" 😉

    Still no dashes.  Not sure if it's because of this, but here's the last thing I did with my settings:
