A few weeks ago I started having major issues with zoom to the point where it makes it hard to attend online classes as a student. Whenever I am sent to a breakout room it takes multiple minutes to load if at all. During this time I will close the meeting/app manually and via task manager but when I attempt to rejoin it still registers me as in the meeting. It also has occasionally been happening when turning off or on my camera in which I can still see the audio/visually totally normal but the program will freeze.

I have done everything I can think to do, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, logged in and out multiple times, ensured both my laptop (lenovo, IdeaPad Slim3) and zoom are fully updated and none has helped. PLEASE help me I am so frustrated. 

Hi Folks

I have a strange issue with Zoom Meetings, where my video stops every few seconds. I can click the "Start Video" button and it comes right back on, every single time.

I tested Zoom a few nights ago with just 1 meeting, just for me open, and only my video feed in the meeting.

so, the loneliest meeting in the world, but just for the purposes of testing the webcam to see if it would cut out when in a zoom meeting on my own.

I left this meeting open with my webcam on for several hours, playing around with the whiteboards and other zoom bits and not once did the webcam cut-out. It all worked perfectly.

The camera only cuts out every few seconds when anybody else is in the meeting. Any zoom meeting with 1 or more other people in the meeting and the camera feed keeps stopping.

There are no app crashes, no pop ups, no security restrictions. I've checked over every article here on the Zoom support and double-checked every possible setting the articles mention but can find nothing

A reinstall doesnt resolve it either. I just cannot for the life of me figure out wht Zoom works flawlessly, until a second person either joins my meeting or I join theirs. Every time I join somebody elses meeting or they join mine, the video keeps stopping, and its constant.

My webcam is a Canon G7X III on direct HDMI into the computer via an Elgato 4k HDMI Stick.

Windows 10, but the problem is the same on Windows 11 too.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have been using virtual backgrounds without issue since March 2020, but in recent weeks I have sporadic issues with Zoom failing to work with any virtual backgrounds. When I turn on the camera, the feed stays black until a pop-up comes up saying that the virtual background is still loading and asking me to start video anyway or stop. I can not ever get the background to work.  Unplugging and reconnecting the webcam, changing ports on the dock, restarting Zoom don't work. Using the mic on the webcam never suffers any issues and works even when the feed is black while Zoom is apparently attempting to load the virtual background.  Once I click on "Use video" button and ignore the virtual background, the camera works without issue though obviously without the virtual background.

Setup is USB Logitech webcam attached via VAVA USB-C dock on 2019 Macbook Pro running macOS Big Sur 11.4. Zoom version is 5.7.6. 

Has anyone else encountered this or have ideas for fixes or workarounds?
