Screen is a patch translucent green and video lagging

My Zoom video has suddenly turned a translucent green and my video is lagging badly. I've seen previous posts with a similar issue but none of the solutions offered have worked.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled as well.Any other ideas?

Mine is now fixed.   2 things - go to the Zoom Settings, under Video, Advanced, unclick the 'Accelerator' buttons, and then restart.   Then I uninstalled the program from the Windows Settings, (Before I uninstalled it a different way...),   Restarted again, then reinstalled Zoom.   

And YAY normal colouring...

Hope this works for you.

Can you provide a screenshot of the issue on your end?

Hi Bort

 

I have attached a screenshot . I should have described the green as iridescent. The video is very delayed and jerky. Sound is fine. I've  looked at all my video settings, unchecked and re-checked the boxes as suggested in previous posts, uninstalled and reinstalled Zoom.

Thanks for your assistance

Very odd. Never seen that before. 

It almost looks like some green fabric blocking the view of the camera. Do you have multiple cameras attached to your computer? You might check the video settings and see if you can switch to a different camera within Zoom. 

I also have the same issue.  Was it resolved?

Thanks Rachel- the speed is fine. Video is working perfectly on other platforms such as Teams and Google Meets- no lagging and no iridescent green. I'm totally stumped

I also have the same issue since today. I have been using my account for years, with the same Internet speed here at home and the same strange green light and image lagging behind suddenly began today. I used Zoom just fine early in the morning. And after that, in another session I created, it just started working like that. I enclose a screenshot as well. I have closed zoom and opened up both cameras in my Surface and they work just fine. So it must be a Zoom issue.

Please provide some solution.

Thank you

Hi Pedro

 

Your situation mirrors mine. I too have been using Zoom for years with no issues. I have tried everything suggested  with no luck. Kath

Me too.  Problem started tonight

Dear Kath, I am so sorry to hear about it. In the meantime, I uninstalled my Zoom and reinstalled it again and the problem disappeared. It is mistifying. I had had an episode of BSOD earlier in the morning, perhaps that caused the issue.

 No resolution yet I'm afraid. Very frustrating

Zoom has told me that they have an engineer working on it, as of today.  I keep asking Zoom for updates because I need this fixed for work...
