Recently I have found that the video preview panel disappears when I start screen sharing and Optimise for Video clip and select an Entire Screen. I use a low-res display of 960x720 for dual-screen PowerPoint presentations. I have to choose Show Video Panel from the menu. There have never been any performance issues when sharing.

 

This is very inconvenient, as I have to repeat this manually whenever stopping and re-starting screen sharing. It didn't used to do this. I see no mention of this feature in settings.

 

How do I restore previous functionality, to always keep the video panel active, so I can see myself and my participants?

 

Zoom Version: 6.1.0 (35886)

Mac OS 14.5

M2 Mac Mini

 

NB I cannot share the PowerPoint Window (rather than the entire screen), as I am using PollEverywhere and their poll results overlay would not appear to participants.

 

My colleagues have also noticed the same issue on other systems.
