Hi everyone,

I'm Darshan Hiranandani, experiencing an issue where, when I join a Zoom meeting, I can't see any participants (including myself). All participants, including myself, appear as black boxes, even though my video is turned on. This problem occurs from the moment I join the meeting.

I’ve gone through all the settings on my end and made sure everything is up to date, but the issue persists. Interestingly, when I host a meeting, I don’t face this issue.

I’ve read that this might be related to screen sharing, but I can’t even see the screen share or the participants during the meeting, which happens regardless of screen sharing being on.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Any suggestions on what could be causing this, or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Regards

Darshan Hiranandani

I see a previous question from 2 years ago about this situation and I'm wondering if there have been any changes?

I just completed a whole series of recordings but did not realize the "add a timestamp to the recording" option had been checked, and it certainly wasn't onscreen while recording. Can I get it off the recording?

If not, does anyone have solutions for masking the timestamp?

Thank you 🙂

I can do zoom streaming on Facebook page, but as soon as I stop streaming, the video is gone.

I can perfectly use Zoom streaming on Facebook page, but as soon as I stop streaming, the video is gone from my facebook page.

Is it the issue with Zoom or Facebook page? 

We have a Zoom account for our Toastmasters Club. I want to give admin access to two of the club officers, in addition to me having it. I have added them as users, but am not clear if they now have admin access. Since I will not be at every meeting due to travel, I want to make certain at least two people at the meeting can run the meeting and have full access. The support desk it not clear on that. Anyone else run into this? We have a Basic account as a non-profit.

I tried to host a meeting this evening in Zoom basic, as i do almost every week.  I tested my microphone and speakers before and a couple of times during the meeting, and they worked fine.  But when participants joined, I could see them, but not hear them.  They could hear me and see me fine, and they could hear and see each other, but I could not hear any of them.

I ended the meeting and restarted it, but it did not change anything.  I still could not hear them, but they could hear me and each other.

Any thoughts on what the problem might be.  IT gave me a new camera, because updating Windows 11 last week killed my old camera's driver, but i don't think it would be that because they could hear and see me.  i just couldn't hear them.
