To stop your video on Zoom, click the "Stop Video" button in the bottom-left corner of the Zoom meeting window.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Locate the Controls: During a Zoom meeting, look for the control bar usually located at the bottom of your screen. If you don't see it, move your mouse, and it should appear.
-
Find the "Stop Video" Button: In the control bar, you will see several options including "Mute," "Start Video" (or "Stop Video" if your video is currently on), "Share Screen," etc.
-
Click to Stop: Click the "Stop Video" button. Your video will immediately stop being transmitted, and other participants will typically see your profile picture or name instead.
-
Restarting Your Video: To start your video again, simply click the "Start Video" button (which will now be in the same place as the "Stop Video" button was).
Alternative Method (Stop Incoming Video):
You can also stop receiving video from other participants. This doesn't stop you from sharing your video, but it can be helpful if you have a low bandwidth connection. To do this:
- Click the View button in the upper-right corner of the Zoom window.
- Select Stop Incoming Video.
To start receiving video again, repeat these steps and select Start Incoming Video.
