Hi,

When we start meeting using client web SDK(Host) & zoom (windows) application (User).  
After screen sharing Host requests for control, then anything type in the user machine added multiple times.

e.g.  
When Host type in browser/notepad: **suma**  
It shows **suummma**

Using **Web SDK version 1.8.5**.  
zoom (windows desktop) application: 5.4.9

Hey @tommy ,

Our client is eagerly waiting to launch his website. However these issues are delaying the launch. Could you please let know as to by when we can expect a resolution of these issues.

Hey @MaxM,

Just want to get in on the topic to say that we have encountered the same difficulty as @patil.sagar during some of our recent zoom-interviews. Until today we had the windows client 5.2.3, now we are to date with 5.5.1.  
Any news on this issue? We cannot conduct our interviews without the remote working properly and cannot tell in which cases this bug will occur.  
Thanks!

Hey @eurisko,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. I can’t provide an ETA or speak as to why this has not been fixed yet because that’s handled by a different team.

I can assure you that our engineering team is actively looking at this and I am reporting each instance where a fix has been requested. If there is any new information I’ll update you here.

Thanks,  
Max
