Whenever I use Screen Share, my mic greys out and turns off. Basically useless for meetings. I pay for Zoom Pro. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

No, Zoom's mute/unmute button will only mute/unmute your voice. Muting yourself has no impact on the audio you are screensharing. To stop sharing the audio you need to either pause it directly in the app (i.e. YouTube), or stop the screenshare.

 

Hope this helps you out,
