Testing Your Video in Zoom

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.

    Zoom will display your camera's video and settings.
  4. If you don't see your camera's video, under Camera, click the dropdown menu and select another camera.
