How can I turn off Center Stage in Zoom on a Macbook Pro without the camera settings toggle?

Hi,

I am a facilitator who relies on having the full camera to show props and things. Everything I've found about turning off center stage says to toggle off something in camera settings that I do not have. At first I thought it was a Zoom setting, but have learned center stage is an Apple feature. I have been trying to turn it off for the last 30 minutes, and cannot find any solutions that actually exist in my settings either in Zoom or on my Macbook pro.


Please help!


Sincerely,

Frustrated Facilitator

These are all resources I had already tried before posting this. I do not have any of the settings mentioned in any of them.


I did eventually find it though. Instead of it being in the non-existent camera settings with a green icon, it was hiding in DisplayLink manager, which looks like a grayish blue rectangle with a person icon.


So frustrating to have spent so much time looking for it with so many unhelpful instructions, but I'm glad I somehow lucky enough to stumble upon the fix.
