Hi @Shanthi6, is your Mac and Zoom both up-to-date? If not, suggest updating to see if that helps? You can also uninstall Zoom, reboot your Mac, and re-installing Zoom from https://zoom.us/download. Are you experiencing flickering of your camera on any other applications?

Hi, all! I've had this issue as well... extremely frustrating! Makes me look like Max Headroom (for those of you alive in the 80s).

 

Anyway, I may have found a solution. Go to settings>>video>>advanced and deselect all hardware processing. It's probably just one of those, but I deselected all and it seemed to work.

 

Hope this helps!

My coworker was having this flicker/glitching issue so I sent him this comment and it fixed it! Can confirm your solution works 🙂
