Hi, I've noticed a green rectangular icon between my name and the audio and video icons (participants) when I host a meeting. What is that green "box" for??

Thank you!

Hello!

 

Is this the green square you're seeing?

That indicates that you're sharing your desktop in the meeting.  If someone else is sharing, the green square should show under their name instead.

 

Hope that helps and please make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you needed.

Thanks! Rick

I think it might mean that you're on mobile. Not sure though. I've been wondering for a long time too.

he is right, ive been using zoom for a long time now, it indicates that the person might be avalaible for instant responses, whereas the gray dot represents that they might be away and you wont recieve and instant response.

I agree with S1DD--I believe it indicates available on cell.
