I have used Zoom for over 19 months with no issue. Suddenly, in the last 3 weeks, my clients videos are freezing, I can hear them but can't see them. They can see and hear me. I have tested the internet connection speed and have done the check from multiple locations. I have a feeling this started after my last software update. Anyone else experiencing the same? BTW this is happening with multiple groups of clients.
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @CN Please try adjusting the video settings in Zoom Client -> Settings -> Video -> Advanced -> Uncheck Receiving Video in the section (Use hardware acceleration for), and see if this solves the issue.

Hi CN,
I suggest to uninstall your zoom app first then fresh install new one from https://zoom.us/download for this kind of problems.

I was having horrible video feed during my calls if I would try clicking on other tabs to show our website or use my second monitor. One client said I looked like I was in a matrix. We could hear each fine but the video was horribly distracting. Issue worsened and now I was scrambled or frozen without having to move my mouse. If I wasnt jumbled or distorted, I would be freezing up in the most unfortunate expressions. lol Thankfully, this solution appears to have resolved the problem. Thank you!

Same here...using Zoom for more than a year and now suddenly this start to happen for about a month or so. Reinstalled the app but that didn't help. It's super annoying! No such problems at all at Google Meet. So my bandwidth is ok.

Yes me too. Only recently. A fresh install has not helped. Windows and drivers have been completely updated. I've tried multiple Zoom accounts, various users at the other end of the Zoom call and a variety of webcam/microphone setups. Every Zoom meeting will have users freeze randomly throughout the meeting.

Has anyone got a solution yet? I've gone through all the steps as suggested but problem still exists. As a short term measure I have to repeatedly click on 'view', change it and the participants remain unfrozen for a short period of time. The only common denominator is none of my participants have downloaded the latest version of Zoom.

No solution yet...at least one that works! I've been using my mobile phone to conduct the meetings and client videos are not freezing. However this is not ideal as I need to see my clients on a big screen.
No word from the Zoom team!

i am experiencing the same over the last few weeks. i have learnt i can unfreeze by clicking the dots then the image but this only lasts for a while then freezes again. find i am constantly doing this throughout meetings. have uninstalled and reinstalled no difference! Is this due to a recent update by zoom?

On my computer the problem is only in one-to-one sessions not in the group ones. Have you tried one-to-one after following the advice? I am going tomorrow

How do I get to Zoom Client? I don't seem to have the choices in the above screen. When I click on Settings it does not even have a video setting.

Thanks again. Zoom should help us when so many people can't zoom successfully and something major changes.

This freezing is still happening, mine started the same as everyone else - mid August. At first I thought it was my internet, but that is not the case. I did the latest update Tues - still had issues. This morning, I took zoom off, rebooted and reinstalled...still the same issue in my class today.
I see this solution above, but where do I find Zoom client in my settings

Hi @spaldingsb, you have to download the Zoom desktop client at zoom.us/download. However, from your previous message, it sounds like you have it already installed. If you're trying to find the client settings there's a couple of ways to finding the client settings.

My video freezes over the last 2 months. I went to Zoom.us/download and downloaded the Zoom client, but I cannot find any icon that says "Zoom Client" to click on. Therefore I can't go to settings-video etc as suggested on how to correct this problem. How do I get to "Zoom Client" so I can uncheck "Receiving Video"? Rod

Hi, you don't need to go into Zoom client to fix the problem. Go into settings (the wheel) - video - advanced (at the bottom of the screen) - uncheck 'receiving video' - should solve the problem.

Thank you Debbie. That's what I was trying to say. He already is at the zoom client right? Just go to settings and follow the diagram posted here

I applied this fix as well as reinstalling Zoom a couple of times and it still freezes. Does make any difference if on Webinar or one on one. What's next?

I'm having the same issue! My video keeps freezing and logging out my last 4 sessions. I have full wifi bars and haven't done anything different. I just updated zoom to the newest version and tested it and it froze right before the 30 minute mark. Would the above apply to me? I'm unsure how to get to the page and tech support hasn't responded. Please help!

Go to: settings - video - advanced - go to the section 'use hardware acceleration for' and untick 'receiving video'
