 +====Catalina annoyances====
 +===Zoom Screen Sharing doesn't Work===
 +[[https://hub.securevideo.com/Knowledge/Details/328]]\\ 
 +Zoom: exclamation point in triangle - enabling screensharing permissions\\ 
 +If you try to share your screen, you may see a triangle with exclamation point in it.  This is because 
 +MacOS Catalina added a new category of app permissions called "Screen Recordings". This prevents a user from being able to share their screen through an app until permission is given specifically for that app. If you have NOT granted this permission, then if you try to share your screen through the Zoom app, there will be error images instead (showing an exclamation mark inside of a rectangle, instead of a preview of what you might be able to share)
 +
 +To fix this:
 +  - Settings
 +  - Security & Privacy
 +  - Privacy tab
 +  - Screen Recording
 +  - You may need to Unlock in lower-left of dialog (and provide password)
 +  - Allow Zoom, or other apps you want to be allowed to use your screen
 +  - Then lock
 +  - You may need to restart Zoom.

 +===Zoom Camera Doesn't Work===
 +[[https://hub.securevideo.com/Knowledge/Details/331]]\\ 
 + 
 +MacOS Catalina prevents the camera from being used until permission is given specifically for the app (such as the Zoom app). This is requested the first time you join a Zoom session:\\ 
 +"zoom.us" would like to access the camera"\\ 
 +This is similar to the above (screen sharing).
 +To fix this:
 +  - Settings
 +  - Security & Privacy
 +  - Privacy tab
 +  - Camera
 +  - You may need to Unlock in lower-left of dialog (and provide password)
 +  - Allow Zoom, or other apps you want to be allowed to use your camera
 +  - Then lock
 +  - You may need to restart Zoom.
