Zoom video turns off when screen sharing on Ipad Pro

Is there a way to have my video on when screen sharing on Ipad Pro? I need it to have it on when I’m doing lectures. It suddenly turns off mu video when I screen share.  Thank you.

Hi @nicpramos 

I believe this in a general privacy/security feature across mobile devices (I believe in iOS itself, rather than Zoom).

My Android device does the same thing.

I have noticed all (I think) video-calling apps seems to do this. They will stop access to the camera if the video-call itself is not in the foreground. I believe the same is true if the display is locked, for example.

Maybe you could use a second device (like a cell phone) to join to the meeting a second time to provide your camera feed?

Hope this helps.
