I have gesture recognition turned off in my settings, but within the last week or so, Zoom is always putting a thumbs up or fireworks on my screen when I am talking. Not only is it super distraction, but then my video freezes. During a call yesterday, I had to stop my video and restart it at least 10 times. What else can I check?

Thank you so much!

It was a Mac OS setting. When you are using the camera, a green camera icon will appear on the top right of your screen. Click it and turn off the automatic reactions.
