Hello!  New here.

When in a meeting Zoom Room Display and Camera set to Auto Framing seems blurry on the screen while in a meeting and sharing content from laptop in the Zoom room.

Any suggestions most appreciated.

Unless you're using a camera that supports optical auto-framing (90%+ don't), Zoom is merely stretching/cropping your camera's image to re-frame participants, which will typically look rough.

Your camera is not actually zooming in on the participants, which means you're just taking the pixels you already have from the wide-shot and making them bigger - this will rarely ever look good (unfortunately, this has become the norm in 2024).

 

I'd ask for a screenshot without auto-framing enabled, and then with, just to confirm whether this is the actual issue.

Camera supports zoom, but since you're using Zoom drivers, it will not zoom.
