If you are receiving Error Code 3000, that is, “There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into the drive” then this doesn’t mean that you have to insert a disk.
This error is commonly received while installing the Zoom client application on your computer because of any corrupted or missing file. Therefore, to fix the issue we need to reinstall Zoom.
To do that, launch Settings by Win + X > Settings. Click on Apps, search for Zoom, and uninstall it.

Allow Zoom to access Camera and Microphone
Because of recent privacy concerns, we are pretty skeptical to give an app permission to access our camera and microphone. Even though it is a good thing, it can block you from accessing some of its features.
To check if Zoom has permission to access the Camera and Microphone, you need to follow the prescribed steps.
- Launch Settings by Win + X > Settings and click Apps.
- Go to the Camera tab from the left panel, enable “Allow desktop apps to access your Camera”, and check if Zoom Meetings is among the list of apps.
- Go to the Microphone tab from the left panel, enable “Allow desktop apps to access your microphone”, and check if Zoom Meetings is among the list of apps.
If Zoom has permission to access your Camera and Microphone then you most probably won’t face screen sharing not working issue.
Hopefully, you can get all the solutions
Check Zoom’s Settings
To fix Zoom Screen Sharing not working we need to make sure that its setting is well optimized to work for the Screen Share feature.
To do that, launch Zoom from the Start menu and click on your profile pic, and then Settings. Now, go to the Share Screen tab and tick “Enable the remote control of all applications”.
Manage your Graphic Driver
If you are still facing the issue then try updating your Graphics Driver, if the update is not available then try reinstalling the driver.
To do that, go to Device Manager from the Start Menu, expand Display Adapter, right-click on your driver, and select Update or Uninstall (if an update is not available). If you have uninstalled the display driver, right-click on Display Adapter and select Scan for hardware changes to reinstall the uninstalled driver.
