Hi all, we’re currently encountering an issue where the mic automatically mutes itself whenever the screen is shared. It usually happens when the participant shares the screen, not the host. Issue was encountered using Chrome in MacOS. Any ideas about what could be causing the issue? Anyone else experiencing the same problem? Thank you! cc: @shabanzo ---

Hi @marrisse.asuncion , Can you please clarify if the participant who’s sharing gets muted or the host’s mic? Thanks, Gianni ---

Hi @gianni.zoom ! It’s the participant (the one who screen shares) who gets muted.
