”’zoom.us’ is Accessing your screen”

During meetings, I regularly get two pop-ups and I see no way to get it to stop. I am on a Mac running the latest OS and client updates.

The first pop-up happens periodically throughout meetings, even appearing on shared screens.

”Turn On Reactions: Zoom.us has turned off Reaction effects….”

Yet, o have reactions enabled, including gestures. All I can do is close the pop-up…which reappears shortly thereafter.

The second one nags me whenever I am sharing my screen. It also pops up on the share sometimes, other times on my non-shared screen.

”’zoom.us’ is Accessing your screen”

When I tap that one, it opens a Mac OS system settings screen where Zoom is already selected as being allowed. Again…can’t get rid of it more than a coupla minutes and everything appears to be enabled.

Any ideas how to get these to stop?!

Those pop-ups sound like macOS privacy reminders conflicting with Zoom’s permissions, try toggling Screen Recording and Accessibility off/on, then restart Zoom to reset the prompts. I ran into similar quirks while juggling setups during workday training and placement services, and a clean permission reset usually stopped the repeated alerts.
