How to Turn Off Your Camera on Zoom

[@skateywatey]

I hate how my social anxiety translates over to online classes too lmao

[@kaaynn-rn]

Yeah .-, ;-; sometimes when I need to speak my voice is like shaking so I sound sick. Plus I’m in my pajamas while everyone else is in regular outdoor clothing :S

[@skateywatey]

​@@AnthonyEnglish Thank you for your reply! (And wow, all these likes! it's nice to know that other people are feeling the same way as I am.) That is a good idea! Today I actually had a little Zoom meeting with my professor and a couple other students where we just talked and colored a coloring sheet! It made me feel better and I actually had my camera on. :) Thank you for your advice! I will try to do more of that. I think it'll get easier and easier!

[@alexcerda8768]

right lol

[@bobatea8786]

ikr 💀😭😭

[@skateywatey]

update: my professors have been super kind and understanding. they are amazing, I love them. I try and participate and let them know i'm still paying attention while my camera is off (if i'm feeling especially anxious and distracted with it). :) To those who feel the same way as me- I recommend telling your teachers/professors how you feel about it, most of the time it helps and they may have some ideas!! some may be more strict than others, but I know it made me feel much better. hope everyone is well! and good luck with school.

Bruh, I’m just so nervous pressing the “join button” and afraid everyone would see my face. So anxious to press the button, it’s my first time here 😤😤

[@meooowww3672]

Anthony English I got it now, it wasn’t bad at all , haha. My heart was pounding so fast when I put join but it really wasn’t that bad! My mic and camera was off, so I could only hear the teacher and other students with their mic on. Ahh, I’m relieved now :)

[@setsirocco]

Thank you. On other sites theres lots of info about audio settings but they seem to think we all love our own faces. I wont bother with meetings if I cant turn off the video.

[@rubeenaasif2435]

Isn't there an option 'turn off my video' when you click on 'Join a meeting' ?? Does that also work??

[@irenecoates4580]

Thank you so much Anthony, it was a headache being on zoom and everyone else disappeared and I was still on, I searched on the screen but was not game enough to click on anything, but your video has helped- it is just my 3rd zoom meeting, I belong to a camera club. Thanks again. Irene Coates

[@rockfist6866]

my right ear is appreciates your assistance

[@kay9156]

Damn these video conference calls to hell!

[@kay9156]

@@AnthonyEnglish Agreed. I dislike that the expectation is that everyone would be ok with it -- they never consider what some people may or may not be comfortable! There is zero consideration for people with anxiety or more reserved personalities in this world, it's all one-track and caterer to a specific subset. At least give the options!

[@kenadeyfeth597]

I have a zoom meeting in 4 mins this is what i needed thanks!

[@Marsbarz_]

Lol jokes on you I don't have a camera

[@helpmeeeeeeeeee]

Thank you! this helped me, I have zoom today at 8:45 and I'm nervous to show my face to my teacher and class, It's gonna be my first time using zoom. T - T And I'm gonna go to grade 7 this year so I'm also nervous for that.

Thank you for this video. I this helped me during the meeting everyone had their name on the video except me, I didnt know how to turn off the video and have my name display. Thank you thank you 1000x!!!

[@AnthonyEnglish]

Very good to hear, Bridget! I’m glad it helped.

[@palisettysathwika6042]

Will our camera shows our video in zoom even if we turn off video and opens camera app during the meeting?

[@laurietheiw]

This is not working for me. I added a profile picture. Then I joined a meeting -- turning off video as I went in. Zoom refuses to show my profile pic, it only shows my name. I've tried everything!

[@CaptainFrost_]

Thanks, school starts Monday

[@MJ-gj6mj]

Hi is there a way to share face with just the host, but not visible to other participants? I'm getting tired of these kids screenshot and sharing class meetings online of their classmates.

[@shaguftaparween1700]

Thanks its very helpful

[@anxioussmurf2057]

Thanks for this. Really anxious about my Therapist suggesting a zoom call to help me get over my social anxiety on Zoom. Once I eventually turn my video on, is there a way I can hide my video thumbnail so I can't see myself, but others can still see me?

[@steve00alt70]

Mental block prevents me from hitting join meeting

[@StealthGamerWolf]

Thanks. I just wanted to double check that I've shut off the camera. Meeting starts in 2hrs in a half.

[@StealthGamerWolf]

Makes sense. Thanks for the tutorial.

Yaaaaay stop video I had no idea 🙏🏼bless you good human

[@anouaressanoussi]

Thanks for helping out! I was wondering if it's possible to change backgrounds on the phone or is that a laptop/pc function only? Thanks again

[@laurice8056]

Great video! But I noticed that at 0:38 seconds you also had “Hide non-video participants” checked off. Do we need to use this feature also in order to avoid showing ourselves on camera when we’re hosting a Zoom meeting? Thanks for sharing!🙏

[@AnthonyEnglish]

No. If your video camera is turned off, nobody will see you (although they will see your profile picture, usually.) But you are in Gallery view, you can click on the 3 dots at the top-right corner of any participant box that either has their video off or joined by telephone.

[@AnilKumar-Signals]

Is there any way to make my camera not working on zoom while it's on. Please tell me a way.

[@rozsmith8278]

Hi, I’ve got a zoom meeting coming up and I have social anxiety. And it’s the first time I’ve used Zoom. So, If I turn off my video can I still see the other?

[@jayjaypineda3731]

So if Turn off the camera will they still be seeing my face? Cause I yried to search this on google and they just said I'll only be hiding my face on my screen and still visible on my friend's screen.

[@akul895]

how to make when we should off are video a picture should come how to do that

[@haileycarroll126]

Does thus mean that the others will also not see me I want my screen to be black, while I can see them thou

[@widyasari4513]

[@mynd420]

I’ve always hated school.. I just started enjoying it this year because nobody could see me. I felt so happy, happier than I have in any school with the negativity + no counselors to help, just snitch you out... My favorite thing about school was not showing my face, no one would bully me if they never saw me. I’ve already left this district once because of bullying. I’m real nervous and they’re forcing us to turn on our cameras or we will be kicked off the meeting.

If presenting, I want to appear introducing the topic, then turn off self view, but it doesnt work?

[@AnthonyEnglish]

Yes, I’ve been thinking about your comments. Technically, Zoom says you can hide your view of yourself by clicking on the ellipses button (…) and then choosing Hide Self View. One way to do it may be to move your picture of yourself to a different monitor if you gave one, or to move yourself as far out if your own sight as you can. Another approach may be to consider whether everyone can go off camera. Perhaps others are seeing themselves and finding it too distracting. I tend not to notice myself on a Zoom call, which is probably the easiest way to manage this. Sorry if my answers aren’t exactly what you were after.
