Podcast recording - Mute causing edited audio

I record a podcast using Zoom and have noticed an annoying feature and Im hoping someone knows how to disable this...When we are recording multiple guests, inevitably someone mutes themselves. When we begin to edit the episode, there is no audio (or recorded time) for that muted period. This makes editing difficult as the recorded conversation has to be lined up with everyone else's audio. Of course, we can just request that the guests do not mute themselves but is there a setting that captures this time  - even if it is dead air?
