When I host a meeting I do not have this problem.
When I join a meeting all of the participants and myself are seen as black boxes - even though video is ON.
I've gone through all my settings and the community... and what I'm seeing tends to focus on this happening during screen sharing. I cannot see a screen share OR any of the participants at all during the meeting from the moment I join.
Any suggestions? I've updated zoom and my computer.
Thanks!
