**Zoom Apps Configuration**

Using boilerplate code from: [GitHub - zoom/zoomapps-advancedsample-react: This repository contains an Advanced Zoom Apps Sample. It should serve as a starting point for you to build and test your own Zoom App in development.](https://github.com/zoom/zoomapps-advancedsample-react)

ReactJS

**Description**  
When calling the `drawImage` API on WINDOWS machines, it throws an error. On Mac machines, this works just fine.

**Error?**

```auto
Error: The Zoom client encountered an error while processing the request!
    at new e (sdk.min.js:24:2173)
    at sdk.min.js:33:19088
    at t.native2js (sdk.min.js:33:17643)
    at EmbeddedBrowserWebView.<anonymous> (<anonymous>:1:44055)

```

**Troubleshooting Routes**  
This is code that is running in production and it broke a couple of months ago, we had to turn off `drawImage` in production for Windows users.

I’m running it locally and have validated that it works for Mac users, and still broken for Windows users.

**How To Reproduce**  
Call the `drawImage` API on a Windows Machine. It should throw an error.
