A black screen is displayed when I activate my camera

I have a particular problem. I used to participate in meetings on Zoom and I could display my video without having a personal zoom account. A few months ago, I opened a zoom account and created a meeting. By mistake, I checked the "Stop my video when joining a meeting" box in the camera settings. After that, when I activated my camera during a meeting, the camera was considered activated but only displayed a black screen. In Windows 10, in the camera privacy settings, my camera (an integrated webcam) was seen as currently being used by the Zoom app.The problem remained after of course unchecking "Stop my video when joining a meeting" in the camera settings, restarting the computer, downloading the latest version of Zoom, stopping my Zoom account. I have left the problem alone by joining Zoom meetings with a black screen as video while the video works using other applications like Teams.

 

Has anyone experienced the same problem? I would appreciate any help.

Share audio on ios zoom app

Hi

 

I would like to play metronome ticking while on zoom meeting. I have iPad pro.

Is it possible to play metronome sound while on the iPad zoom?

Hello - I am a yoga studio owner and I am using the zoom app built into the Amazon Omni Fire Tv to run zoom classes with virtual teachers. 1ST - I have an innex panoramic camera and also installed a sound bar compatible with the Omni Fire TV.  We are muted in the yoga room during class, but there is an echo with the teachers voices.  I have instructed the teachers to use airpods.  The problem is not volume, but quality of sound.  Instructions are running together to the point they are unintelligible.  2ND - The zoom app will not allow me to send the sound to my overhead speakers.  I can send sound to overhead speakers with other apps like youtube.  I love this platform, but the audio quality is bad.  PLEASE HELP!

Every time I need to open the Zoom app, after several minutes my display starts to blur which causes my entire laptop to blur even after closing the app, I usually have to restart my computer for this to stop, but it happens every time that someone shares their screen on Zoom. It has never happened with another program. I don't know if this is a problem caused by my device or by Zoom's software, and if so, how can I fix it?

I've been using Zoom for a long time on a Samsung galaxy Tab S6 model SM-T860 . and just within the past day Zoom workplace app will not launch.  It never said Workplace before? It leaves me stuck on the screen that says Zoom will start or click the button.  nothing happens when I click the button.  I have uninstalled, cleared data & cache on this tablet twice. any suggestions please? thank you.  

Is there possibly a link to an older version that I can install

When I make a Google Slides presentation in Zoom, I like to have the notes in one macOS Space and the presentation in full Screen in another Space.  However, what I found was guests are not able to see the presentation until I switch to that space.  This presents a problem because I am not able to move my presentation notes to the presentation space without reducing the size of the presentation.  Is there a way to make this work?

Windows 10 PC - Lenovo 20W1S0VM00

Windows 10 Version: 22H2

Zoom Version: 6.0.4 (38135)

 

I've been seeing an issue with Zoom meetings when launched it shows 1/4 of the image and then white the rest of where the participants should be. This is specific to Zoom, not any other meeting application.

 

Steps taken:

 

1) Removed Zoom

2) Ran CleanZoom software

3) Reinstalled MSI from Zoom download Center

4) Changed scaling from 150 % to 100 % within Windows - this seems to fix for most people but this is a bandaid not a fix. 

 

Has anyone seen this with a permanent fix?

Recently I have found that the video preview panel disappears when I start screen sharing and Optimise for Video clip and select an Entire Screen. I use a low-res display of 960x720 for dual-screen PowerPoint presentations. I have to choose Show Video Panel from the … menu. There have never been any performance issues when sharing.

 

This is very inconvenient, as I have to repeat this manually whenever stopping and re-starting screen sharing. It didn't used to do this. I see no mention of this feature in settings.

 

How do I restore previous functionality, to always keep the video panel active, so I can see myself and my participants?

 

Zoom Version: 6.1.0 (35886)

Mac OS 14.5

M2 Mac Mini

 

NB I cannot share the PowerPoint Window (rather than the entire screen), as I am using PollEverywhere and their poll results overlay would not appear to participants.

 

My colleagues have also noticed the same issue on other systems.
