Question
RingCentral Meetings desktop app freezes a few seconds after video starts
When I start a call and turn on video on my desktop app, the video freezes. The app has permissions to access camera so not sure what is causing this. Please help troubleshoot.
Are you on a Mac or PC? I'm currently working with support with this issue on a Mac that has the 2020-002 security update released on the 24th. I am interested in how wide spread this issue will become if you are in this subset. Updating to catalina fixes the issue, but unfortunately we cannot do that update yet.
I have the video freezing problem on an older Macbook Pro running Mojave, I also would like to avoid an update to Catalina.
Hello Everyone!
I would suggest uninstalling ad reinstall the app if this won't work, please create a case so that our phone support will be contacted you at your most convenient time.
Thanks!

I have several users reporting this as well--all on Macs. Some freeze as soon as the meetings are started and some will randomly freeze during the meeting, with audio continuing to work. The machine becomes unresponsive, although the cursor is able to move. The meeting cannot be Force-quit and the only way to regain control is to restart the machine with the key combo.
Same here... on a 2015 iMac running Mojave. Many video meetings I am on the screen freezes completely (no moving cursor or ability to force quit the app... hard restart is all that works). Right before the freeze, my camera goes weird and shows a green screen. Audio remains functional so I can complete the meeting, but then I have to unplug my computer to restart. Began happening a week or so ago.
On my Windows 10 PC - following these steps fixed the issue. Turns out this was not a RingCentral issue but a Windows issue.

This is still happening to me and I’ve deleted and downloaded the app several times. I’m running a 2018 MacBook Air with Big Sur (11.1) and 16gb memory.
This is an issue for me and others in my organization who use a Macbook. We're running Big Sur 11.2.1. It used to be a rare occurrence, and now happens about 15% of the meetings. And I'm in a lot of meetings. Force quitting works, but it's very disruptive. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. We need this to be addressed ASAP.
Can you loop me into the new case as well? I am about to move to Zoom or another platform bc I can’t stand this happening. Today it happened on 3/4 of my calls, but in one call it happened twice!!!!!
