How can I entirely disable Safe driving mode

I don't own a car.  Recently I have randomly entered safe driving mode and got entirely stuck.  The only way out was to end the whole meeting and start again.  This is SO frustrating.  Does anyone know if í can entirely disable it?  I tried asking the bot and it just gave me drivel about it being a safety feature.   Well it's not that if it happens randomly and disrupts my meetings.

    I've had the same issue. I think I found the fix but haven't been able to test it yet. 

     

    open Zoom app

    under settings, choose meetings

    scroll down to general and toggle off "safe driving mode"

     

    Everything else I've seen says to swipe left in the meeting to turn it off but that did not give me the option. Hoping this works.

    I went into zoom settings and turn off safe driving mode but I was unable to continue participate in our zoom meeting while driving. It froze up

    The suggested solution does not work. I tried it but after I turned it off, it automatically went back on, even though I was not driving at the time.
