Hello,

I want to join Zoom meetings with MY camera always on.

It used to work fine and I can access meetings directly with my camera on, however, it seems like the recent Zoom meetings I join will automatically turn off my video.

Can you guide me through resolving this issue?

Thanks

Hi @lamie232! Can you check your Zoom Settings and ensure that you do not have "Stop my video when joining" selected?
