Can't Find "All Screens Mode"

I'm running Zoom version 6.4.5 on Windows, and need to be able to view the screenshares of participants in my meetings without them being able to see each others' screens. All my googling leads me to a feature called "All Screens Mode," which is supposed to have a checkbox allowing me to turn on "Allow participants to view shares" - which seems to imply that the default behavior is that participants canNOT view shares.

 

Yet when I open my meetings, that "All Screens Mode" is nowhere to be found, nor is the checkbox, and the default behavior is that all participants can switch between all shared screens via the tabs at the top of the meetings.

 

Has this feature been removed? Is it limited to paid licenses? I meet all of the requirements listed on the support article here. . .

I just noticed it missing yesterday when I needed it in class using 6.7.0 (234657).  I eventually found it today after much searching by clicking host tools in the share screen window.  A small window opens. Click the left arrow to back out of advanced and you'll see All screens mode at the top.  I hope this is a setting conflict I can change as feature is now extremely inconvenient to activate. Chat is still horrific - worked perfectly before with larger classes - now 20 chats with 20 people. Difficult to monitor.  Good luck.
