latest zoom update instability

Never had a problem with zoom program (installed about 3 years ago) until this week. Instability of the frame showing me started right after the recent update automatically installed itself. The problem manifests in at least 2 different ways: 1. frame with me in it starts flickering, usually with a couple of parallel streaks across the top; 2. another person on the zoom call also appears in my frame. I can arrest the problem by disabling live video, and reverting to the photo of myself that zoom keeps on my computer. Then, I can switch back to live video, and it may remain stable for a minute or two and then revert to flickering; or it may remain stable much longer (most recently at least half an hour  when that particular zoom call ended). Any suggestions? Can I fall back to a previous version, and if so how do I do that?

      I faced the same issue and here's what I did: I updated my graphics drivers, adjusted Zoom settings, and closed conflicting apps. If the problem persisted, I uninstalled Zoom, tried an older version, and contacted Zoom support. Don't forget to check your hardware too.

      Experiencing video flickering on Zoom after a recent update can be resolved by adjusting settings. Navigate to Settings > Video > Advanced, and uncheck "Optimize video quality with de-noise." If the issue persists, consider modifying the "Video Rendering Method" to "Direct3D11" or "Direct3D9" in the same menu. Reverting to a previous Zoom version is not recommended due to security risks.

      It sounds like you're dealing with a frustrating issue after the update. If you're interested in finding more about any related issues or perhaps want to check out related court records, you can find them here: Court records.

      In terms of the Zoom problem, you might want to try reinstalling an older version of the app to see if that resolves the flickering issue.
