Hi, all-- I am sharing a video with sound but I don't want the other Zoom accounts to be able to hear my microphone. Is there a way to mute myself but still share sound in a video? Thanks!

You should be able to mute your mic and then select the item you wish to share with sound:

If the video file is on your machine, Zoom gives  you an option to share the video file:
