Zoom Camera Not Working On Android

In troubleshooting a problem like this, you must first find out if the camera app itself is working and then move on to troubleshooting steps to solve the issue with that app. Here’s what you should do first;

Check the Camera

This type of issue generally occurs when there’s a problem with the app, then also you have to check your camera before moving forward, here how to check your camera is working properly or not;

Firstly close down all the background apps including your zoom Camera app too then launch the camera app, if it’s working properly then try to shoot some of the photos as well as videos with your default camera app, if it does work properly then you can move to troubleshooting steps. However, if the camera app is not working properly, then you have to restart or reboot your smartphone to refresh its memory and then again reload the app.

You can do a normal restart by switching off your mobile and then switch it on., But I will suggest you force Restart your smartphone as it is the most effective one. Here’s how,

  • Press and hold the volume down button and the Power key for 10 seconds. This will force your device to power off and turn back on.
  • When the logo shows, release both keys and wait until the phone has finished rebooting.

Once the rebooting process is finished, launch your camera app again and see whether it’s working properly now or not. As long as your phone doesn’t have any physical damage, a reboot may be all you need to fix the camera. if not so then you have to move one step further and go for troubleshooting.

Check the permissions you gave to that app

App permissions are one of the important things that all apps require. Zoom has its own set of Video Settings that manages the camera that’s connected or built into your device, so it requires some of your permissions to run the app(software) smoothly. In the case of smartphones or tablets that run Android OS, we must make sure Zoom has the correct permissions to use the built-in camera. In short, make sure zoom has permission to make use of your device camera. If not so how to do that?

  • Go to the Zoom App icon, and press the icon until options show.
  • Tap on app info.
  • Then scroll down and you will see a permission icon, tap that.
  • The next screen will show you the services that the app is allowed to access.
  • Make necessary changes like toggle on camera permission and then try using Zoom again.

Close other background apps which you are not using!

As zoom is a video conferencing app it requires a smooth connection to run properly without any problem, if there is another app running in the background then it may create trouble for zoom to run properly. So closing a background app of some sort helps you to solve the issue relating to the zoom Camera not working properly.

Troubleshoot your internet connection

If your device isn’t an issue of bad quality video, then there should be a problem in your internet connection. Troubleshooting an Internet connection can become a bit complicated and may take a longer time to resolve. Whenever possible, we suggest that you use a computer that can be hardwired to your Internet equipment rather than using WiFi, as WiFi speeds will always fluctuate.
