Hide your own video image in Zoom

As an instructor, you may get distracted by your own video in the Zoom window or get tired of looking at yourself. You can remove the display of your own video and still see everyone else.

Here’s how:

Hover the mouse over your own video window and click on the button with the three dots:

A menu drops down with options for your own video. Select Hide Self View from this list.

And your video feed will disappear, replaced by others’ in the gallery.

Now you can only see the participants in the meeting and can interact with them without being distracted by your own mirrored image.
