Not sure if this is the right place to ask this - apologies if not.
I have a newish USB camera attached to my Dell PC which I have been able to use for weeks with Zoom with no problems. Suddenly today it is not working. I can see everyone in the meeting they cannot see me. I am just a black square.
Yes I have clicked on the small video symbol so the red line is not there. My camera responds to Zoom when I do this as the blue light on the camera comes on.
I have checked that the camera works via the app in windows 10 - it does.
I have turned off my PC and rebooted/ changed USB port - no improvement
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Zoom - no joy.
I have checked my PC privacy settings and yes, Zoom is shown as one of the apps that can access my camera.
I have checked my settings and I only have one camera - “USB camera” and that is shown as the one Zoom is finding.
I have checked for updated drivers and windows tells me my driver is fine.
I have tried with my OH’s camera and that’s not working either, even though it has its red light on.
I have now run out of ideas. It is frustrating that the camera been working fine for weeks and now suddenly it’s not.
I'd be grateful for any help/suggestions. Thanks

I am having the same problem. Thou I've been told my video glitches turns into 'snow" and goes in and out. I am not a member. I am only on zoom at the most 3 times a year. All are with my Doctor. I now have to drive to see her, due to this. Now there is another problem. I have a doctor that is 100 miles from me. We tried to do a zoom appointment but it failed. It will cost me to much time/money to go see that Doctor. I want to know if you were able to get your problem fixed. I can not get anyone to help me. I am not going to upgrade my membership. Since it would be a waste of my money. Now if I was on zoom a lot I would. Thank you for any help you can give me. Since my zoom meetings are for medical reasons.

Thank you for the repl. If my camera (it is a webcam) works for one of those things (going to do it on Facebook). What should I do then? What should I do if it does not work? I do not know a lot about computers. I use Zoom on my computer which is a desk top. Not on my phone, I do not have a lap top computer. In a few weeks or less I may be having a Doctors appointment that I will have on Zoom As in the Doctor will use Zoom to talk with me. It will be about a surgery I may have. Thank you.
