Screen Sharing on iPad (mostly) not working any longer

Hoping to get some help here.

I've been using Zoom to host meetings on my iPad and I need to share my screen. For nearly three years this has worked perfectly fine. Since the beginning of the year this function became unreliable as I had to frequently cancel and then retry the screen share before it worked. Over the past few weeks this has completely stopped working. I've done everything from ensure IOS is properly updated to deleting the Zoom app and then reinstalling. During a few tests with an internal team member it did work one time, but that was it.

Anyone else having this problem? I tested this on my iPhone and at least that one test worked fine. Not sure why it is so buggy on the iPad.

Thanks in advance for any help.

      I use iPad for teaching. Whiteboard was working fine for a long time but it has started playing up since last month. I can’t use my iPencil in a regular fashion, it just gets stuck to one icon and then it won’t work on any other icon although I can use my finger to activate different icons. It is unfortunate as I used Zoom to tech students for hours and was thinking of becoming a paid Zoom member. I wonder whether there is an ' easy solution to fix it.

      Same thing is happening on my end.  When I plug the cable in to share my ipad or to do it wirelessly, my participants only get a black screen.  I'm using a macbook pro, OS 13..2.1 Ventura and my zoom is the latest update.

      Update: after several weeks of being pinged around by Zoom reps who were not technical support, I finally got to someone who did indeed confirm this screen-sharing issue on the iPad is a known problem. I'm currently using a 'test' package version of the app that has solved the problem. The 'fix' is going to be coming on March 19th according to a message I got back from Zoom.

        Good deal 🙌🙌 thanks for posting their reply. This is a big issue. Hopefully they can do this sooner. I’ve been using this feature constantly.

          The issue still persists in Zoom 5.14.2 version with iPadOS 16.4.1. After broadcasting the screen, it displays a static picture instead of a realtime screen.

            Interesting. I did FINALLLY get things working after a support call with someone from Zoom late last week. I have the updated version of Zoom, but have not updated iPad to most recent update just yet. Maybe I should not! I have not had many meetings since the support call last week, but the initial test was positive.

                    Screen sharing is not working properly after updating to iPas OS 16.5. People cannot see a frozen screen, they don’t see what I am doing on my iPad. I deleted and reinstalled the zoom App v5.14.7  but it does not work. Any ideas.

                      This is still not resolved. Is there going to be an update?

                        I’ve been running into this issue for the last six months. I primarily use this iPad to share my screen and show my clients concepts and present via drawing everything out with the Apple Pencil. I tested out the screen sharing issue with my other PC and about nine out of every 10 times I’m running into the same issue as folks are describing here on this board. I don’t use the iPad for anything else other than presenting; I don’t use the camera on here I don’t connect to the audio. I strictly use it for presenting. Something that’s also peculiar that I’m running into is that when I start sharing my screen on the iPad it automatically makes me connect to the audio when I don’t want it to, which was never an issue before. So I have to manually go in and disconnect from the audio on my iPad since I’m already connected on my PC. You guys need to fix this issue as it’s been going on for longer than half a year.

                          This just started happening to me this week. I go to share my screen of my iPad Pro and it freezes without going into the apps I’m trying to project to a class in an online course. This needs fixing asap.
