    Hello,

    If you’re experiencing issues with your camera when using zoom make sure the zoom app is updated on the latest version, update your webcam drivers as well, then check the settings in zoom regarding your webcam, make sure the webcam that’s active is the one you want to use, if you have a laptop webcam and a separate webcam at the same time you need to select the one you want to use.

    Hope this helps,

    JC

    To keep your camera on during Zoom meetings, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

    1. Check for Interruptions: Ensure that no other applications are taking control of your camera. For instance, incoming calls or other applications that use the camera can cause it to turn off unexpectedly.
    2. Camera Settings: Open the camera settings in Windows. You can do this by searching for Settings in Windows, then navigating to Bluetooth & devices > Cameras. Make sure your camera is enabled and properly configured.
    3. Network Conditions: Poor network conditions can also affect video quality. Ensure that your internet connection is stable and has sufficient bandwidth to support video streaming.
    4. Device Driver: Ensure that your camera drivers are up to date. Sometimes outdated drivers can lead to connectivity issues.
    5. Zoom Settings: Check the settings in Zoom to ensure that your camera is selected and that there are no restrictions on its use.

    If the problem persists, consider disconnecting and reconnecting your camera or restarting your device to reset the connection.
