Greetings, ``` I successfully implemented zoom sdk 2.14.0 on a local Windows XAMPP server. I can join a meeting from the local server. I then port the site to a remote web server running Windows with XAMPP server. Again, the zoom functions correctly and I can join the zoom meeting. But when I test the site on remote server from my local computer (thru internet), zoom gives me a black screen after I click join from the index page. It should show me a video preview page with a join button. Any help is appreciated. ``` ---
