Hey @Pedmo are you using Mac or Windows? For Mac OSX, you will need to give Zoom access in the Accessibility tab in the Privacy and Security preferences of your Mac. For more information on giving Zoom access in Security and Privacy, click here. Also, ensure you both have settings enabled listed in the KB Requesting or giving remote control
