Green video icon on Mac menu bar not showing on MacBook

[bernieraffe]

When using Zoom on my Mac Mini computer, I have a green 'video' icon on the menu bar which I find useful.

But on my MacBook, that icon doesn't appear, instead I get a 'Zoom' text which has different functionality.

See screenshots for the two menus.

Menu bar with green icon 

Menu bar with text icon 

Both computers have the same 5.17.2 version of Zoom. 

Am I missing a setting, how can I get the green icon bon my MacBook.

Thanks for any help.

Sorry for the late reply. This is not a Zoom feature; rather, it’s a macOS feature. You won’t see the green Video menu unless you’re running macOS Sonoma or later. Also, it won’t appear until your camera is actually being used.
