Disable flashing active speaker green rectangle

Is there any way possible to disable the flashing green rectangle that indicates the active speaker? I have a visual impairment that makes it hard to focus my eyes on flashing lights. I have tried gallery and speaker view, pinning the speaker, etc., but I can't find anyway around minimizing flashing light on the screen. I've been opening four browser windows to arrange over the edges of a pinned person's video to cover the flashing rectangle, but it is very hard to stay engaged on calls when I can't see everyone, and I have to continuously cover the zoom window with the four browser windows each time I need to mute/unmute or click something else on the zoom window.  I know accessibility for all disabilities is not always possible, but this should be a simple setting to turn off. Thank you!

I've thoroughly checked various options, and I don't think it's currently possible to do that.  Please consider creating a Feedback Report to Zoom developers asking for this setting to be controlled from the Accessibility or Video tabs of the Settings window.  Encourage others to make the same request!
