    Zoom has become a massive platform for virtual meetings and gatherings. By including options related to Zoom in the Photos app, users can quickly access their photos or video backgrounds for Zoom calls. This is handy for users who want to personalize their video calls with custom backgrounds or share images during presentations. It streamlines the workflow, making it easier to pull up images directly during a meeting without having to search through folders or switch apps.

    Why are these two options available? It's because the Photos app is designed to be a comprehensive photo management tool, and Microsoft wants to provide a seamless experience for users who have both Windows and Apple devices.

    Cloud Photos:
    iCloud Photos is a cloud storage service that allows users to store their photos and videos in iCloud. This means users can sync and access their photos and videos across all Apple devices, such as iPhone, iPad, and Mac, regardless of which device the content was taken or edited on.
    With iCloud Photos enabled, any changes made to photos are automatically updated across all devices. Users can also free up storage space on their devices because the original, high-resolution photos are stored in the cloud, with only smaller versions remaining on the device.

    Zoom option:
    The Zoom feature is usually associated with viewing and editing photos. It allows users to zoom in or out of a photo to view certain parts in more detail or to make fine edits. This feature is useful when viewing details of an image, adjusting the composition, or editing specific areas.

    Overall, these two options relate to the storage and synchronization of photos (iCloud Photos) and the viewing and editing features of photos (Zoom), respectively.

    The Zoom feature in the Photos app allows users to zoom in and out of images, making it easier to closely examine details in a photo or to see more of the picture at a glance.

    Zoom is an accessibility feature that makes content on the screen larger and easier to see. This setting can help users with visual impairments or anyone who prefers larger images when viewing photos.

    If none of the above steps work, it might be a hardware-related issue. Reach out to your device manufacturer's support team for further assistance.
