I keep seeing that make sure your camera is powered on and connected to your computer each time I want to start a video on zoom

Hello, 

If Zoom is not detecting your camera, it could be due to these issues:

  • You're running an older version of Zoom or Windows.
  • Your camera is disabled in your device's settings.
  • The webcam is not selected in Zoom (incorrect Zoom configuration).
  • Zoom is not allowed to access your camera.
  • Interference from other programs or devices.

Please read this Zoom support article for more details:
