Additional context
Please don’t ask me to upgrade the web SDK without analyzing the issue. I am already facing issues with the latest version. I have written all those issues here Gallery View in Zoom web SDK and am still waiting for a reliable solution but meanwhile, I would like to know what is causing the above issue and how do I fix it?

Hey @acceluser8866,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. Did this only happen for one meeting or is this happening consistently? Does sharing the desktop versus the window make a difference?

Thanks,
Max

@MaxM we had a report of this issue in only one meeting, I am not sure if the speaker was sharing desktop or window but it should work in either of the cases. I am not able to replicate the same when I am sharing the screen but it was faced by few other speakers and I was seeing a gray screen when joining a meeting from web SDK. Can you please let me know what can cause this issue? and how do we prevent it from happening in the future?

Hey @acceluser8866,

Without steps to reproduce the issue, it’s difficult to say what the cause is. I haven’t seen this behavior reported or in testing so far so I expect there are other factors contributing.

I see that you’ve submitted a ticket for this so I’ll follow up with you there.

Thanks,
Max
