Zoom Camera Issue

I am struggling with my Zoom camera. When I join a meeting, it shows my screen as grey with a laptop on the screen. The camera on my laptop is circled. I am not sure how to fix this. This has never happened to me before.  I am not sure if my camera should be the same as the system or integrated system. I am also not sure what the video rendering method and hardware acceleration option should be. I looked at the troubleshooting steps and I am honestly lost as where to start to fix this. I wish I could attach a photo of my screen and settings. It is also disappointing that I cannot receive support from a live agent unless I have a paid subscription.

HI @msawuah123 ,

 

I would first go into the settings and then the video section without being in a meeting and working through the options. You would want to use hardware acceleration as a rule, but it depends on your hardware.

If the laptop has a built-in camera, then it is normally shown as integrated.
I would turn of virtual backgourns, blurring and all other features to reduce the load on the machine.
Once you save all of this, do a good old reboot.
