Per title.

 

Joined a meeting today, it started showing off my desktop as my video (I was not host or sharing anything intentionally) 

 

Looking at the video settings it show my camera as being "screen-video-recorder", this hasn't happed before and I join plenty of Zoom meetings from my desktop that doesn't have a webcam.

    Hey @Sathion, interesting.. can you share a screenshot of the video inputs available from the dropdown menu within your Zoom Settings > Video? Do you have any local application that can be used as a camera input?

     

    For example, I have Snap Camera and OBS as local applications that have camera-input capabilities that are recognizable by Zoom.

     

    What type of camera are you using as your video source if you don't mind sharing. 🙂

    Hi RN,

     

    I don't currently have a camera, wired or built in. I typically only use zoom to talk or listen.

     

    So the only option for Video for me was that one that I screenshotted.
