Avatars

Help please:

I have an avatar that will display if I start the meeting and am the host. It will show up when I turn the video off and disappear if I turn the video screen on. This is what I want to happen.

That same avatar will not display if I join a zoom meeting where I am merely a member of the class. I do not act as host. If I turn the video off, only the traditional black square appears. I want a zoom black square containing a picture of the avatar whenever I turn off the video.

Other people attending this zoom meeting have avatars. Therefore, I doubt that the host's settings prevent an avatar from being used.

I have an Apple operating system 12.6.3 + zoom operating system 5.13.7

Can anyone educate my ignorance?

That is how I thought avatars were designed - I love my avatar with my personalized background picture but this week I saw that if I am hosting a meeting, I can't shut off my avatar and at meetings that I am a participate, I don't have the option to turn it on if I have to step away from the keyboard. Please help.
