My floating controls are not on top when screen sharing

I am using a Mac Mini.  OS Ventura 13.0.  This problem started 3 days ago.  

When I share a screen, the "floating controls" no longer appear on the shared screen.  I assume I accidentally hit a series of buttons to uncheck something but I cannot find it.  I turned on the keyboard shortcut for "show floating controls" and tried to do that but no love.

I rebooted my computer and the problem went away.  I was certain I had rebooted it before but I will take the win.

The controls seem to "disappear" when screen sharing, but, if you wave your cursor at the bottom where they should be residing, they then appear!

I freaked out the first time that happened to me, but they appeared after hovering my cursor at the bottom of the screen where they resided. Not sure why Zoom makes them disappear--maybe so they don't obscure seeing other things?
