Zoom (the application) and zoom (the feature) don't play together

  1. I set my zoom in YouCam.

  2. I start Zoom (the app).

  3. If YouCam is aready open, then Zoom shows the proper image.

  4. If YouCam is not open when I connect to it with Zoom, the image is not correct.

  5. I open the Effects room, and Zoom changes to the correct image.

  6. Every time I turn off my video in Zoom, YouCam closes.

  7. Every time I turn on my video in Zoom, the image is not correct.

  8. If I launch the YouCam app, or just open the Effects room, the image corrects itself.



That's a long way of saying that when Zoom turns on YouCam, the YouCam zoom settings are lost.

Has anyone else noticed this?

YouCam version 10.0.1830.0

Zoom version 5.11.1 (6602)

Logitech Brio camera

Windows 10 Pro

Hello,

We have confirmed with our contact at CyberLink that this is now the expected behavior. Once you start the Zoom call, you'll need to double click on the YouCam system tray icon to launch YouCam in panel mode.

That's not the precise issue.

When the Zoom call starts, all of the settings in the panel stay the same—except for the camera zoom! I have to open the panel to get the camera zoom back. I have to go through that every time Zoom turns the video off and on. Jerry Schwartz

Hello,

Yes, this is what I explained above. YouCam does not auto launch when calls start anymore, so that is why the YouCam zoom setting is not activated (it is not open). You need to double-click on the icon to open YouCam in panel mode.

Interesting—but not exactly the real problem. If, in the middle of a call or meeting, I turn off video for some reason, when I turn video back on all of the other settings (brightness, color temperature) are still there. So far as I can tell, camera zoom is the only exception. I the other settings can survive, why can't camera zoom? Jerry Schwartz

Hello,

YouCam has always auto closed when you stop a video call or turn off the video, this has not changed. When you turn the video back on, it is the same as when you start a video call. You now need to double click on the system tray icon to launch it.

I couldn't duplicate the brightness and color temperature adjustments from YouCam auto returning when starting video again in Zoom. They settings only returned when I restarted YouCam.

I suggest you contact CyberLink Customer Service directly if you find this continues to be the issue for you:
