Question

Start video option not available

I saw that my one friend using zoom and is not able to start her video.  She doesn't have the option to start her video.  Even the host does not has the option to start my friend's video.

How can she resolve this issue?

    Maybe the host can ask to turn on her video?

    If there is no option to then Zoom is not seeing a video source. If the camera is onboard you might need to turn it on in the BIOS, if it is a USB camera then I would try a different port or maybe pinching the end of the USB cable a little to make it more secure in the slot.

    If these conditions don't exist and you have an IT department I would take to to them and have them troubleshoot the issue.

    Hey @P-S! You, as the author of the discussion, have the ability to remove the solution.  

     

    If you have not already, test your video to confirm that the correct camera is selected and adjust your video settings or check out the troubleshooting Zoom video crashes on some further suggestions!

    I am also having this issue.  I use VMWare virtual desktop.  When in the environment, I see my video when I go to my video settings.  However, when I start or join a call, the option for video is not even present, and I cannot see anyone's video feed.  

     

    Please advise.

    I'm facing the same issue! I use my Zoom application on VMWare and cannot find the camera option after joining a call. I can see myself when I open the camera test function. When switching over to my non-VDI zoom application via the same meeting link, I can see the camera option and can toggle it on and off. Kindly assist at the earliest! 🙏🙏🙏
