How to Fix Zoom Camera and Audio Issues Step-by-Step

Issue 1: Fix Zoom Camera Not Working Issue on Windows or Mac

Cause: Settings issue, camera blocked, or conflict with another app
Fix:

• Make sure your webcam is connected or built-in
• Close apps like Skype, Teams, OBS, or FaceTime — they might be using the camera
• Go to Zoom settings > Video > select the correct camera
• On Windows: Check Settings > Privacy > Camera and ensure Zoom has permission

Issue 2: Fix Zoom Audio and Microphone Problems

Cause: Mic muted, wrong mic selected, or audio permissions blocked
Fix:

• Unmute your mic inside the meeting (bottom left corner)
• Click the caret (^) next to the mic icon and choose the correct input/output
• Go to Audio Settings and test your speaker and mic
• Ensure no third-party software is controlling your audio

Issue 3: Can’t Test Audio or Video Before Meeting

Fix:

• Use Zoom’s test link: zoom.us/test
• Join the test meeting and follow the prompts to check the camera and audio
• Restart your computer if the devices are not detected

Issue 4: Zoom Not Detecting Camera or Microphone

Fix:

• Unplug and reconnect the external webcam/headset
• Try a different USB port
