Great day!
Thanks for letting us know about the screen recording issue you’re experiencing with your new laptop.
Here are a few things you can try,
Update Zoom - Make sure you’re on the latest version, since recent updates have fixed similar issues on Windows laptops.
Adjust Video Rendering - Go to Settings > Video > Advanced and test different video rendering options (sometimes switching helps even if it didn’t before).
Prepare Your Setup - Before recording, turn off system notifications, close extra apps, and minimize any overlay windows.
Do a Quick Test Recording - Try different screen sharing modes to see which works best on your new device.
If the problem continues, could you share your Zoom version number and laptop details with us? That will help us dig deeper, it might be a hardware-specific compatibility issue.
