Hi everyone,
Has anyone else noticed this behavior with the Zoom Meeting SDK for Web?
When the host has their camera on and starts screen sharing, attendees joining from phones no longer see the host video tile. They only see the shared screen.
Interestingly, the same scenario works correctly with SDK 5.1.4 but stops working after upgrading to 6.0.0.
What we’ve observed:
- 5.1.4 → Host video tile is visible
- 6.0.0+ → Host video tile is missing on phones
- Tablets/iPads → Tile is still visible
- Desktop → Tile is still visible
- Reproduced with Client View and a minimal/default SDK setup
We’ve also tested different device orientations and viewport sizes, but the behavior remains the same.
Our current workaround is to remain on 5.1.4.
I’m mainly trying to understand whether this is:
- An intentional mobile UI change in 6.x
- A regression in the SDK
- Something that can be enabled/configured through an SDK option
Also, has anyone tested Component View for this scenario? Does it allow the host video tile to remain visible on mobile while screen sharing?
If anyone has encountered this or found a workaround, I’d really appreciate your input.
Setup: @zoom/meetingsdk, Client View, webinar attendees, iOS/Android mobile environments.
