Simultaneously sharing

It is about a zoom setting that I try and test now for several weeks and it does not work.

 

What is needed is that the one participant shares screen without sound and another participant shares only sound simultaneously.
Host settings are done: "Multiple participants can share simultaneously".

 

All tests result in the message "you can not share audio whilst another screen is already shared.

Anyone has an idea? Would be very helpful.

    Welcome ​@FrankG 

    yes, that is my experience of Zoom share. you  can share multiple screens at the same time when you enable the feature.

    You CAN NOT share multiple different types of shares.
    I also agree this is a mistake by zoom because the ability to share background sounds is a great feature to add to a presentation and using the background sound effect is better than two people speaking at the same time,

    Dear John,

    thank you for response. It really helps, it saved time and effort to not search further. 

    And yes, it would give more ease or create more space for moderation to certain constellations of presenters.

    Warm regards,

    Frank
