Testing Your Video in Zoom

Body

You can manually test your video camera with Zoom before joining a meeting—or during a meeting—to ensure that the camera is working properly. You can also start a test Zoom meeting.

Test your video before a meeting

  1. Sign in to the Zoom Workplace desktop client.
  2. Click your profile picture, then click Settings settings-button.png.
  3. Click the Video tab video-button.png.
    You will see a preview video from the camera that is currently selected; you can choose a different camera if another one is available.
