ScreenShare

Hey Team!

I have an issue (or maybe some settings enabled this way, not sure) that when I am on my laptop, and someone shares their screen, it displays over what I am doing.

Scenario.

I am working remotely and I am always on a collab zoom with a few colleagues. So I usually have zoom in the background and talking with them but on my own stuff on my computer. If someone shares their screen it immediately shows on my screen and I swipe back to what I was doing. It's annoying

Does someone know how not make the screenshare the default screen for me? 

I would like to be able to see the screenshare only if I swipe to Zoom window if I want, not the opposite.

yes this is exactly the behaviour that is annoying me too and the reason I came here!  Hopefully someone can offer a solution!
