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.

      So, the problem at one point seemed fixed, and then it did come back intermittently, but mostly worked through the summer. Since my iPad Pro was more than six years old and was clearly in need of a refresh I did purchase a new one in early September. Since then I have had no problems with the issue.

      I actually ended up with the same problem.

      When starting the screen sharing from my iPad Pro 6th generation with the M2 chip, the video freezes after a couple of seconds. 

      I found this happens when activating the stage manager. If I turn off the stage manager, the screen sharing works - albeit it lags sensibly.

      So for me, the solution is to turn off the stage manager before sharing the screen.

       

      I hope this helps someone else too.

              I'm having this issue too.  Teachers need this to work. 

               

              It worked all through the pandemic and now not working?!  This needs to be fixed soon, students are sufferings!

                I used to be able to share screen on my iPad without any issue (4 months ago, all was good). Now I get kicked out of zoom meeting on my iPad after a few minutes of screen sharing and need to rejoin the meeting. Is there anyone from zoom tech services reading these messages and when can we expect a fix?

                Not working.

                I am using updated MacOS Sonoma on M3 MacBookPro with updated iOS 17 on iPadPro. MacBook and iPad are on the same sub-net with the same router: screen sharing invoked by selecting "iPad via AirPlay" (i.e. wireless connection) no longer works. I do not see the "Zoom" option in the iPad Screen Mirroring options (well I actually saw it once or twice briefly but it promptly disappeared). Strangely, if I connect via a USB-C cable it does work and the Zoom option is available as a mirroring selection. If I disconnect the cable while sharing the screen, I see a static image of the iPad (but no error from Zoom). Screen sharing also works if I select "iPad via cable".

                Following previous posts here I have Stage Manager disabled and the AirPlay Receiver option was never enabled.

                I am not sure when this stopped working but I used it often in the past.

                Hello there, I am an online teacher who has been using Zoom for many years with a paid subscription. After dozens of e-mails back and forward with Zoom technical support and getting nowhere I cancelled my paid subscription. I have even factory reset my iPad three times. 

                 

                I had an also Apple support trying to help me out, but without any result. The “excuse is that I use “iOS Beta”.
                I have left the beta program and will try to factory reset again today using “iTunes”, because according to Apple Support this could be the reason. They are not able to confirm I can do it without iTunes. 
                After I have done it I will come back here to share with you guys. I am really pissed off, as I need Zoom to give classes. 
                I have been using Google meet in the meantime.

                I'm having very similar issues.  One fix I've been told about but have not tried is mirroring with apple TV and sharing to Zoom.  I've not tried it yet.  Just got my school to get the iPAd, now I have to ask for an Apple TV!  pissed!

                Have you tried disabling the stage manager? 
                That solved my problems... and also others confirmed that here

                I've never had stage manager on so that can't be the problem for me.

                The issue is still present with the latest Zoom update, version 5.17.10 (30974), with the latest MacOS Sonoma update (14.3.1).

                I have also started running into the same issue on my iPad - was working fine for years until now. Had been acting up the past couple of weeks but now just won't stay open at all. Wondering if there's a fix for this? And I've had Stage Manager off this whole time.
