I have to attend a lecture or a class, but the image of the presenter is annoying and distracting. Is there anyway I can turn of the video for the Host/Presenter on my end of Zoom. Also, is there a way to turn off the video of other participants who are equally distracting? I don't want to watch them with their tics, eating, scratching themselves. These are personal distractions that I've encountered with participant AND hosts/presenters. I need to turn their videos off. Please HELP!

There is a few feature coming out in Zoom right now called "Stop incoming video" but it will be dependent on the feature being allowed by the account administrator.

https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201361953

"Stop incoming video"
"Users in a meeting can easily disable all incoming video through in-meeting controls. This may be done to preserve bandwidth for shared content, or to avoid mental fatigue from viewing multiple, active video participants. The account owner and admins can enable this for use in meetings at the Account-, Group-, and User-level web settings."

Hope this helps.
