Troubleshooting Your Webcam Video Displaying a Black Screen


On occasion, users may experience a black screen when launching their video display. This may be due to anti-virus or network security application blocking Zoom's access to your camera. Check your antivirus software and allow for the Zoom application to have access to your webcam.

  1. Open any anti-virus or network security application on your device, and search for the webcam access blocklist.
  2. Remove Zoom from the blocklist.
  3. Launch a test meeting to see if that helped resolve your video issue.
