For years, Zoom didn't have a dark mode feature, which meant you were stuck with the light theme, even if you preferred the former. It also meant that if your device was set to a dark theme, Zoom was one of a few apps that weren't in line.

Zoom Allows You to Enable Dark Mode

As of March 2022, you can enable dark mode on Zoom. The video conferencing app was a bit late to the party—the feature has been missing on the platform for years. But its counterparts, like Skype, have had the option to switch to a dark theme for some time.

Dark mode is popular among apps of all kinds. Some use it out of preference because they want something different, and others switch to dark mode because it is more comfortable for their eyes. Whatever the reason, it's nice to have and is worth trying out at the very least.

How to Enable Dark Mode on Zoom

To set Zoom back to Light mode, follow the same steps, then click on Light next to Dark. If you change your computer's theme often and want Zoom to be in-line with its theme settings, click on Use System Setting instead.

Why Switch to Dark Mode on Zoom?

If you already have your device and other apps set to dark mode, setting Zoom to a dark theme means that you can finally have a seamless experience across your device.

It is also a better option for low-light conditions and makes it more comfortable to use the app at night as you'll strain your eyes less. This is especially helpful if you're used to working late or early in the morning.
