Zoom suddenly changes to widescreen

Hey @JongSun, it's been some time. How is the widescreen issue? Is it still occurring? Have you tried updating Zoom to the latest version to see if that resolves the issue? 

Still an issue!

Have latest version, still popping out of original ratio into widescreen!

@RN52_2 This same issue was addressed here: https://devforum.zoom.us/t/host-screen-format-changes-on-its-own/37253/4
Looks like this is expected behavior. Zoom apparently assumes that 16:9 is always better than 4:3. In the linked issue Tommy from Zoom says "if bandwidth is good enough, the camera size will be updated to HD mode (16:9) automatically after someone joins the meeting which is HD enabled. This is the current design."
So you're issue is probably caused because someone joined your meeting that was set to 16:9, so Zoom "helpfully" changed yours to match.
Zoom - please give us the option to stay at 4:3 if we want to!

Yes, I think many users would appreciate if the ratio remained at 4:3. Can be so embarrassing when you clean only part of the room that's in view and then Zoom suddenly changes the ratio and everyone can see the mess you hid in the corner haha

I just had this issue for the first time today...it's a problem since I train folks on virtual communication and the importance of how you're framed in the screen. Is there a fix? 

This issue has been happening with my Zoom for several months and has begun happening more frequently in recent weeks. It's pretty annoying.

Considering this thread is 2 years old, I believe I already know the answer to my next question, but are there any updates on this being resolved?

This appears to only happen when people join the room, or start sharing.

This is annoying

Following this as well. Very annoying issue!  Set up frame of view as you like it before the meeting... then it randomly changes part-way through! 😱

I'm going to try setting my camera system setting to low def / 4:3; maybe Zoom will be forced to use the same settings?

I’m having the exact opposite problem. While participating in a zoom meeting, my full screen minimizes to the smaller screen every time there is a screen share and it even happens randomly.
