Zoom automatic paused screen sharing when I shared YouTube and made it full screen. And I can not turn it off. But sharing was continue when I restore YouTube. Why?

Best answer by JennyL

My problem manifested itself when trying to share video using Safari as the browser on Mac. The share screen paused when I tried to maximise the video. I took the following steps suggested by Zoom support, who were very helpful:

1. Download latest Zoom version

2. Clear cache for Zoom sites

3. In Settings>Privacy>Accessibility enable Zoom

4. Reboot

This worked for me - I hope it works for you also!

Zoom pauses screen sharing in full-screen YouTube because your system or browser flags it as protected content (often due to DRM or hardware acceleration). When you exit full screen, that trigger is removed, so sharing resumes. Disabling hardware acceleration in your browser or adjusting Zoom’s “Optimize for video clip” setting usually fixes it.

@LARA23 I get this behavior on my desktop only, for all content share types.
Not on a similar zoom machine nearby.

For Win users, I seem to have found a (temporary?) workaround: https://community.zoom.com/t5/Zoom-Meetings/Zoom-screen-or-widnow-share-immediately-pauses-and-can-t-be-un/m-p/240339/highlight/true#M130071
