Issue with ESC Key Functionality While Controlling Screen in Zoom

Hello Zoom Community,

 

I’m encountering an issue while using the screen control feature in Zoom. Previously, when I was controlling another person’s screen in full-screen mode, I could press the ESC key, and it would act as though I was pressing ESC on their computer. However, now when I press ESC, it no longer works on their screen. Instead, it just restores down the full-screen mode on my side.

 

Has anyone else experienced this issue, and is there a way to fix it?

 

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you!

This was driving me crazy too. Could not find any way to resolve it so just downgraded my version and it works now. It is more a workaround than a solution, though.
