Minimizing after screen sharing - how to stop?

ichigodango · ‎2023-08-23

Recently, after someone stops screen sharing, the zoom window automatically minimizes even though it was full screen beforehand. How can I stop this from happening?

Thanks.

I have the same problem and am finding it incredibly annoying. No matter what has been shared. As soon as it goes back to the gallery or speaker the screen minimises. Anyone know why or how to fix it??

Apparently it is a bug and it will be resolved in an update in September. In the meantime we can uninstall the current version and reinstall Zoom version 5.14.10.

Click on this link, scroll down to find the Zoom moderators comment and it will give instructions on how to do this.
