Zoom / Teams / Webex (hybrid events) troubleshooting
The Zoom / Teams / Webex (hybrid events) problems live-event techs bring to Ask Roadie most (also called hybrid event, Microsoft Teams, Teams, video call). Pick your symptom, or describe your own in plain words, and get the likeliest fix first, with the manual page when there is one.
Common Zoom / Teams / Webex (hybrid events) errors & problems
What techs run into most, and what's usually behind it. The step-by-step fix for your exact software is in Ask Roadie.

HDMI capture card shows black / "No Signal" and the switcher output won't appear as a camera
Likely cause: A black camera in Zoom/Teams/Webex is almost always upstream of the app: HDCP handshake failure or an out-of-range resolution makes the capture device present no valid frames, so the app just sees a dead camera.

How do I get a broadcast-clean multicamera feed into Zoom over the network (NDI)?
Likely cause: Zoom's ingest for external production is via virtual camera / Custom-AV NDI rather than RTMP-in; full-bandwidth NDI is high-bitrate and must live on a wired production network to avoid congesting the meeting uplink.

Live music/program audio sounds pumped, thin, or gets chopped on the platform (Zoom)
Likely cause: Zoom's default DSP is tuned for speech and treats sustained music as noise, gating and gain-riding it.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Program feed to the platform is capped at 720p / looks soft even though the source is 1080p
Likely cause: These platforms adaptively downscale to protect the call under CPU/bandwidth limits and only send full-res when HD is enabled and headroom exists; better light, tighter framing and a wired connection let the encoder hold resolution.

Remote callers get music echo/feedback even with mix-minus, or reverb tail is cut off
Likely cause: Echo cancellation actively ducks/removes anything resembling the far-end return, which mangles sustained music; it is only safe to disable when there is no acoustic path from speaker back into the mic (headphones or direct feed).

Show PC keeps dropping / "your internet connection is unstable" during a hybrid event
Likely cause: Congested or contended WiFi causes jitter/packet loss that these adaptive codecs respond to by dropping resolution or the connection; a dedicated wired path with headroom removes the contention.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
USB audio interface / mixer output not selectable or sounds wrong in the meeting app
Likely cause: The platforms default to the system device and one fixed sample rate; a device/OS sample-rate mismatch or missing OS mic permission makes the interface unusable or glitchy until it is explicitly selected and rate-matched.

Zoom error 104103 (unable to connect) mid-show or when joining
Likely cause: 104103 means the client can reach the internet but a firewall, proxy, VPN or blocked port is stopping the handshake with Zoom's media/servers; opening the app through the firewall and removing the VPN restores the path.

Zoom error 105035 / screen share or content share fails to start
Likely cause: macOS revokes screen-recording entitlement on app updates and won't apply it until relaunch; without it the share request is denied and surfaces as 105035.
