Have you ever encountered the annoyance of your Zoom preferences suddenly malfunctioning and causing everything to appear either too big or too small? I can definitely understand. In this article, I will provide some helpful advice to assist you in restoring your Zoom to its usual state and save you from the trouble.

Zoom Display Settings

The first step to bring your Zoom back to normal is to check your display settings. Let’s start with the Zoom desktop app:

  1. Open the Zoom app on your computer.
  2. Click on your profile picture or initials in the top right corner.
  3. From the dropdown menu, select “Settings.”
  4. In the settings window that appears, navigate to the “Video” tab on the left side.
  5. Here, you can adjust the camera, microphone, and speaker settings. Make sure everything is set to your preference.
  6. Next, go to the “Audio” tab and verify that your audio settings are correct.
  7. Finally, check the “General” tab for any additional display settings that may be affecting your Zoom experience.

These settings are specific to the Zoom desktop app. If you are using the Zoom web client or the mobile app, the steps may vary slightly, but you should be able to find similar options to adjust your display settings.

Zoom Display Scaling

If the display settings didn’t solve the problem, it’s possible that your Zoom display scaling is causing the issue. Here’s how you can adjust the display scaling in Windows:

  1. Right-click on the desktop and select “Display settings.”
  2. In the display settings window, scroll down to the “Scale and layout” section.
  3. Adjust the “Change the size of text, apps, and other items” slider to your desired scaling level. 100% is the standard setting.
  4. Click on “Apply” to save your changes.

If you are using a Mac, you can adjust the display scaling in the System Preferences:

  1. Click on the Apple menu in the top left corner of the screen and select “System Preferences.”
  2. In the System Preferences window, click on “Displays.”
  3. Under the “Display” tab, you’ll find the option to adjust the display resolution and scaling.
  4. Choose the appropriate scaling level and close the System Preferences window.

Conclusion

Bringing your Zoom back to normal shouldn’t be a daunting task. By checking and adjusting the display settings and scaling, you can regain control of your Zoom experience. Remember, if you are still facing issues, it’s always a good idea to reach out to Zoom support or consult the official Zoom documentation for further assistance.
