Gray boxes on screen sharing in Mac

Hello community.
When I share my screen in zoom meetings, all popups or just any other screen or message that appears over the shared screen are shared as a grey box over the screen I am projecting. This is somewhat annoying to the people I am sharing the screen to. I have seen it happen only on mac. Because on windows, Zoom does not take popup screens into account even if they overlap the shared screen. Please help.
