Movie not showing for students

Hello @BobAnderson,

Welcome to the Zoom Community! We're glad to have you here.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience and late response. 

Most streaming services use DRM (Digital Rights Management) to safeguard their content. DRM can detect when you're trying to share your screen and will actively block the video from appearing during a screen share. It's possible that the site you're streaming from has recently implemented or updated this protection. The goal of these safeguards is to prevent unauthorized recording or sharing of copyrighted material, and Zoom's screen sharing feature can trigger them. Essentially, the streaming service is preventing the content from being captured or shared in order to protect its intellectual property rights.

Thank you for understanding. 

Hi There!!!!

It sounds like the issue could be related to screen-sharing settings, especially when streaming video content. Many platforms block video playback through screen sharing due to digital rights protection. To fix this, try enabling the "Share sound" and "Optimize for video clip" options when sharing your screen on Zoom. Also, ensure your video player isn't in full-screen mode, as this can sometimes cause a black screen. If the problem continues, consider using alternative platforms like HDOBox PC, which might offer a more reliable streaming experience for educational purposes.
