Customer Replay

I did there is no sharing on that page

Okay, understood
In the meantime, please, take a screenshot of the feature you want to turn off, so that I'm sure I understood you correctly

Customer Replay

I dont have a pick of the feature. when my zoom updated my picture started to jerk and wiggle and up top it said my animated action is on click here. by the time I got to it and clicked it took me to setting and I didn't know where to go after that. I have googled it a lot of time but it is always a dead end

Okay, got it
Do you mean that it jerks and wiggles when you're on a call with someone?

Customer Replay

yes Iam in a meeting and it does that

Is it an animated cartoon like this?
