Since a recent zoom update about 2-3 weeks ago, I've got small black rectangles that appear on the videos of other people on my zoom calls and webinars. My video looks fine. Please see the attached file to see what I'm talking about. I've updated zoom to last version. Still same result. Any ideas how to fix this?

Oh, hey I was digging around more in the zoom community posts and came across a solution for this. Doesn't necessarily work for everyone, but it worked for me. Change the Video Rendering Method in Advance settings. The post I found said to select GDI, but for me Direct3D11 Flip Mode produced a sharper video feed. Experiment with those settings and see if anything there works for you.
