'share computer sound' not possible

Hi, I have a pro membership. I always share my computer sound (music), via 'share screen' --> advanced options --> share computer sound/ audio. I haven't used zoom for one month. Now this option to share computer sound is no longer available. I have no idea why this has changed.
I have removed and then re-installed the app 'zoom workplace'. I have a MacAir, Apple M1, MacOS Seqoia 14.5.1.

I hope you can tell me how to fix this. thank you so much!

Unfortunately the problem is not solved. Can I speak to a real person? I can't find it on the website. Tomorrow morning I am hosting a meeting again, so I hope you can help me very soon!

In my case it was something silly; right away press on 'share' with left mouse click (instead of clicking the ^ button next to it, which gives you limited options).
you'll then have a pop up window with different sharing options; categories 'screen', 'documents', 'advanced'. choose 'advanced', and you'll see the 'computer audio' option.
Let me know if this was the trick for you too!
