Zoom and Avast

Hi,

Recently I have noticed Zoom keeps closing 10 seconds once it loads. I get a notification from avast on zoom accessing the webcam which I allow, thereafter it shutsdown.

Once I disable all shields Zoom seems to work.

Has anyone else had the same problem?

No and I use Zoom daily.

Personally I prefer to use Zoom in a dedicated browser, and I have no problems either.

Using it in a browser is fine if you’re joining a meeting.
If you’re hosting the meeting, it’s best to use the app/program.

Yes, you are right.
I never host Zoom meetings :wink:

By the way, the new ZOOM PWA for Chromebook users was just released.

Hi,

Try using “Smart Mode” and make sure that you did not accidentally block Zoom instead of allowing it.
[Open Avast Premium Security > Privacy > Webcam Shield > Settings > (Smart Mode ; View allowed / blocked apps)

Why do my settings look totally different? No Smart Mode.

Hi,

You seem to have an older version (but you do have smart mode selected).

I run Onmi and I’m on the latest beta version. So, I should be totally up-to-date.

Hi,
The AV screenshot is from the latest UI.
The latest Omni21.5.2470 (build 21.5.6354.679) UI version:1.0.544 vs AV21.5.2470 (build 21.5.6354.679) UI version:1.0.646

So, why isn’t the OMNI product being updated along with the other version? The software component
should be as up to date as the other software versions of Avast. :slight_smile:
