When I go to type something in a chat during a meeting it only allows me to type maybe two to three letters before it seems as if the cursor or the tab key is hit but neither is happening.  It just started with this new upgrade.  Please help?!?!?  It only does this with zoom and no other program or application.

I am having the same issue and it is making Zoom basically unusable for me.  It seems to be worse in a large meeting (where there's a lot of participant activity - people entering and exiting, etc).  It's almost like another window is "jumping in front" of the chat window and stealing the cursor.

 

This is unbearable, as someone who relies on Chat a lot in meetings.  I am literally using Wordpad in another window to type my responses, and then trying to copy/paste the text into the Zoom chat.  Even with this ridiculous solution, I have to be "lucky" enough to hit the "Paste" and "Send" buttons before the cursor disappears.   Help, this is making Zoom completely unusable!!

 

I am on Windows 11 if it matters in this instance.

I have the same issue, with the latest update, it makes the chat virtually unusable. I hope Zoom is working on it cause that's a huge issue.

Hi all,

 

I have this question posted to a few different forums and threads, a user on Reddit provided the following to me today.  I tried it and it completely solved the problem for me; hope it does the same for the rest of you.  Best of luck all!

 

Here is an old version of Zoom to roll back to:  https://zoom.us/client/5.13.3.11494/ZoomInstaller.exe?archType=x64. They did suggest I run the "Zoom Clean" process which fully uninstalls zoom. Here is the link to that.
