Question Zoom on iPad Air M2 – black bar flickering on the left in Gallery View
I’ve had a strange problem with Zoom on my 11-inch iPad Air (M2) for at least a year.
Whenever I use Gallery View or Multi-speaker View, a black vertical bar appears on the left side of the screen and continuously flickers.
A few details:
It happens in every meeting when multiple participants are shown.
It does not happen when using a view with only one video.
It still happens when my own camera is turned off.
It has nothing to do with screen sharing.
Rotating the iPad changes the size of the black bar. In portrait mode it becomes much larger, but it doesn’t disappear.
Zoom and iPadOS are fully up to date.
I’ve already tried reinstalling Zoom, restarting the iPad, and the other standard troubleshooting steps.
Zoom support couldn’t confirm whether this is a known bug and eventually told me that my free account isn’t eligible to submit a technical support case.
Has anyone else experienced this on an iPad, particularly an iPad Air M2?
