As a Group organizer, I would like it so that all other participants can’t share their screens, this ensures that no trolling or confusion happens.

- Screen share for all to be off (default)
- Screen share for all can be changed in settings

I looked into meetings API [Zoom Meeting API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/meetingCreate) but I can’t find any option to create or update meeting with such restrictions. How can I achieve that?
