Video does not start when entering a meeting

When entering a meeting, my video does not start automatically, and only shows my avatar.  I can find the setting to correct, but I would like to have the video start upon entering.  In settings, there is a checkbox to turn off my video when joining meeting, but this is NOT checked off.  Is there a setting where I can set this to automatically have video on entering the meeting?

Hi @Roy14g , thank you for your contribution and apologies for the delay in response.

 

Would you mind sending me a picture of the current Video settings that you have? To do so, please head to the Zoom desktop app, click on your profile picture, select Settings, and then Video. 

 

This will help me better understand the issue at hand. Thank you!

Have you heard of Zoom AI Companion?

I'm having this same issue. What's the solution?

I've confirmed that it's an issue with Safari, but I can't figure out what setting is not allowing the camera being on automatically. When I set Chrome as the default browser, the camera starts when the meeting starts. Anyone know what I need to fix in Safari?
