In my Zoom meetings, my camera always shows a black screen and does not display my video.

I’m using Windows 10 and have tried the following solutions:

First, I confirmed that my camera is functioning properly:
a. When I use Google Meet, the camera works fine.
b. I checked the Settings > Privacy section and confirmed that Zoom has permission to use the camera, but it still doesn't work.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Zoom, but the camera still shows a black screen.

Could you please help me find a solution? Thank you.

Hi,

I’m experiencing a recurring issue while streaming a Zoom Meeting live to YouTube using the "Live on YouTube" feature.

Problem:
The video randomly flickers or flashes on and off (turns black for a few seconds and returns). This interrupts the live session and negatively impacts viewer experience.

Details:

Platform used: Zoom → Live on YouTube

Zoom version: 6.4.6

Device & OS: Windows 11 Dell G3 laptop

Internet Speed: 500 Mbps

Steps tried:

Checked and confirmed stable internet

Restarted system and Zoom before live

Closed all background apps

Repeated issue on different sessions

Is there any known compatibility issue between Zoom and YouTube Live, or recommended settings to avoid this flickering? Please advise any solutions.

Thank you!

Does anyone have advice for the best practices for using the Zoom Meeting (not webinar) Usage Reports as a meeting sign-in for a large meeting (hundreds of people)? Registered Zoom users who are logged into Zoom will show the correct name, email address, etc., but what about participants who call in or who do not have a Zoom account? I am worried their screen name during the meeting will not reflect their actual name, and I think I understand from research that the Usage Report does not reflect names changed during a meeting. Any information and advice is welcome!

If you use the desktop client for Zoom to share music, you probably know about the “Original Sound” option to disable echo cancellation, noise suppression, and other music-killing audio processing.  You may also have realized this option is not available on the web client - so, no luck on Chromebook.

It turns out it is possible to get this functionality using a free Chrome extension that I developed.  See:

I developed this for my own use but am pleased to share it with all.  Feedback welcome!

How can people in a group now send you private chat messages so you can see them all at once? The new design shows a "main chat" icon, but that's not private. If I want to see what a bunch of people are sending me, now I have to open each of their icons. This doesn't work. 

The shortcut for Clips clashes with the Adobe programmes. How can I turn it off? I didn't set it up but it must be on automatically. I asked the useless Chat Bot but the replies made no sense and I just got an error code. Some human assistance would be very welcome!
