In the iPad Zoom app, how do I show or hide my self-image (self-view)?
- Short answer: During a meeting, tap the screen to bring up the meeting controls, tap More (the
••• icon), then tap Hide Self View. To bring it back, tap the screen again and choose Show Self View. - Alternative gesture: Tap and hold (long-press) your own video thumbnail, then choose Hide Self View from the menu that appears.
- What this does: Hiding self view only removes your own video tile from your screen — your camera stays on and other participants still see you normally. This is different from Stop Video, which turns your camera off for everyone.
