Step 1: screen-share another screen
Success: floating meeting control bar is visible and Zoom windows are minimized
Step 1: screen-share Second camera
A new sort of meeting window appears with meeting controls at the bottom.
Step 2: minimize Zoom windows
Fail: only the mini-window is visible, with minimal controls
Step 3: click the ^ icon
Fail: only minimal controls are now visible
Step 4: press ALT to show/hide controls
Fail: no controls visible at all
For my setup, I need the captions to be floating freely on my monitor. But when screen-sharing to Second camera, the captions are contained within the Zoom window. If I minimize the zoom window, then the captions do float freely - however, I no longer have access to meeting controls (only minimal controls are visible; see above problem).
Step 1: screen-share Second camera
Step 2: enable captions
Fail: captions are contained within the Zoom window
Step 3: Minimize all Zoom windows
Success: captions are now freely floating; but Fail: meeting controls are now entirely missing
I have tried changing potentially relevant settings with no success. E.g. enabling/disabling dual-monitors, side-by-side view, always show meeting controls. I tried this on two different Windows desktops. I have tried unplugging webcams and other devices. I have restarted my computer. I have checked for Zoom updates.
