With the live stream feature, even if we specify the flag to force the “active speaker” it does not show in certain cases.

One case we found was when the host is sharing their screen, if a guest does not have a webcam on and speaks, they do not show anywhere (therefore you don’t know who is speaking).

How can this be solved?

Hey @jimig,

As this seems like a Zoom Client bug and not related to the App Marketplace / APIs, can you fill out a support request [here](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/requests/new)?

Thanks,  
Tommy
