Have to install iPad plugin every single time I share my screen

Thank you for your response.  That is what I have done, and in the past I wouldn't have to do it again after I did it the first time.  Now I am prompted to install the plugin every single time I share the screen, like I have never done it before.  This happens even if I stop the current share and immediately share the screen again - I have to install the plugin.  Maybe it's a setting on my computer or something, but I have no idea how to fix it.

Hi Evasara,

I teach and I have the same issue.

In the past, once the latest plugin was installed, zoom wouldn't ask again until there was an update.

Now, every time I share the iPad screen, it forces me to install the plugin, even though it was installed only a few moments ago. I also found that I now have to stop sharing all screens before the plugin will work.

If anyone has any help on the issue, I would be very grateful to hear.

Thanks.

Hi, this problem disappeared for couple weeks

AND NOW IT IS BACK AGAIN 😞 

I am just surprised that there is still no response from zoom yet. The worst part is I got this problem "right after" I started the zoom subscription

Yes, I have also been experiencing this in recent months. It happens every single time I share to an iPad resulting in installing the plugin multiple times within the same zoom meeting.

For example: Start a meeting

Share to Ipad -> Install plugin first

Stop sharing but still in the same meeting

Start sharing again to iPad -> Install plugin again

I have been a Zoom pro user for over 2 years and on the same hardware for that time.

It's ridiculous to have to install the plugin each time and greatly slows down the meeting experience.

Just adding to the voices saying that this is a problem. We pay for 3 Zoom licences in the company and one of the factors that helped us to decide which meeting provider to use was the iPad screen share facility.

We run online workshops and used to be able to treat the iPad share like a virtual flip-chart that was available instantly.

Now, with the requirement to reinstall the plug-in every time this feature is useless, and impacts on our learners' experience.

If the Zoom team could confirm if this is going to be resolved, we can decide on the best meeting provider to use in the future.

I am also experiencing having to install the plugin multiple times during a one hour zoom and it didn't used to happen.  It started about a year ago, even with my old iPad and switching to a newer iPad didn't help.  I can't believe Zoom isn't responding to this.  I have been a Pro member for 3 years.  

Yeah it still happens and Zoom chooses to ignore all of these

I have the exact same issue, and it is frustrating for sure!  I go back & forth between my ipad for sketching/diagramming to power points to other things all the time.  Even after I have downloaded the plug initially to share my ipad, I have to re-dowload it every time I stop sharing to the ipad & go back to it later (all within the same zoom meeting). 

I also have this problem this semester after having not encountered in over two years of using Zoom for my teaching etc. since March 2020. Something changed over the summer, I'm convinced, and Zoom's silence on the matter and failure to offer a solution is frustrating to say the least. Perhaps an update to Zoom inadvertently introduced this bug?

I figured it out.  You need to make sure your Zoom software is updated.  My computer did not check for updates to the Zoom software, and sure enough, I was running an ancient version of Zoom.  Let me know if you need help with this.
