How do I fix this error, whenever I start sharing my screen it automatically pauses.

Sometimes when you share a window and then move focus to another window or screen it pauses. When you click on the original window again, it should restart

I am having this same problem with screen sharing pausing however it is only when I MAXIMIZE the video in the screen share window. This has never happened before and only began happening when I updated my zoom application. My computer software is up to date so it is not that. Can you please help me?

I’m having the same problem. When I try and maximise the YouTube video I am sharing, Zoom automatically now pauses screen share. Started last week but was fine before that.

It’s happened to me too. I share screen, then when I click maximise (YouTube) video, Zoom pauses screen share. Participants can hear audio but can no longer see video.

I started to have the same problem after updating Zoom. I am on a MAC, fully up to date. Those solutions did not work for me. I have to either give Zoom control of my computer, which I am not comfortable with, or start the share, pause the share, make the video full screen, then resume share. Without this awkward process, the resume share does not work.

Hi, so for MAC, I encountered same problem, only to realize that after updating the OS, I had to give the ACCESSIBILITY permission to zoom. Simply go to settings>accessibility>zoom (you have to unlock with your password of course) - and that solved the problem for me.
