Zoom meeting won't launch after app crashed

Lately it has happened a few times that while being in a meeting, the app had an error and crashed, the issue being afterwards it was impossible to start a meeting again. I tried to solve it by updating the app, restarting my computer, de-installing the app and installing it again, of which the latter worked so far.
But this morning it didn't work, and I suspect the problem is that after crashing the app still thinks to be in a meeting, which seems to make it impossible to start a meeting again. I also tried stopping the meetings from my 'task manager', but that also didn't work today.
Does anyone have ideas on what might cause this problem and more importantly, what I can do to solve it?

Many thanks!

Hi @Onlineteacher1, thank you for posting to the Zoom Community!

Please update your app to the latest version (6.4.0) and let me know if that resolves your issue. Thank you!

Hi @CarlaA,

Updating the app was the first thing I did, but unfortunately that hasn't helped solving the issue...

Hi @CarlaA, I've been discussing this topic also with a colleague of yours through a ticket, but unfortunately the problem still hasn't been solved. I tried the first three steps beforehand already and now also checked the camera driver. I was already using the last recommended version, but reinstalled it to be sure. Is there any other suggestion you have? Thank you!

Hi @Zack-Krautz, for me the solution was to start using an external camera: since I've been doing that, I haven't had the issue anymore.
