Shutting down when sharing screen

Hi-- This may have been asked, but I can't seem to find a solution--  Whenever I share my screen, whether directly from my ipad, or through airplay on my computer, after about 5 mins, I get this message:

 

live broadcast to zoom has stopped due to connection failed error.

 

I've tried deleting and re-installing, updating, checking wifi connection.  still keeps happening.   It happens regardless of my location (home, school, mystery wifi connections, different states!)

 

I am a teacher and need this to work 🙂

 

Anyone have any suggestions??

    Hi,

     

    Are you actively using your screen during those five minutes, or does this happen after inactivity?

     

    Does the period of time match any other behavior on your system - like a screen saver timeout or auto-lock timeout?

    Hi-- I am actively using the screen.  just tonight I was giving a lecture and writing notes.  I was monitoring the screen share from my computer when I noticed that it froze and although I was writing on my ipad, it was no longer transmiting to the Zoom share.

     

    Then I got the error message and Zoom shut down.  Happened with a direct share from ipad(while logged into Zoom) and from sharing via airplay and my computer.
