This article explains how to stop Zoom video and audio automatically on screen lock in Windows 11.
Zoom is a video conferencing and online meeting platform that allows users to connect remotely. It offers video and audio conferencing, screen sharing, and recording features.
There are many settings one can configure in the Zoom app on Windows. Users can download and install, start Zoom automatically when Windows starts, use dual monitors, and more.
When you use Zoom on Windows, your video and audio will continue to be active even if your device screen locks. There’s a setting to turn it on or off.
There are a few reasons someone might want to turn off Zoom video and audio when their screen locks. For example, if you’re in a meeting and need to step away from your computer for a moment, it can distract other participants if your video feed is still active while you’re gone.
Additionally, if you’re concerned about privacy, you may not want your video to continue broadcasting if you’re not actively using your computer.
These are good reasons to turn off video and audio when your computer locks during Zoom meetings.
