Shared Audio too loud, cannot hear me talking on MIC

[Ayazag]

Hey hey!  

I'm a dance fitness instructor, using ZOOM to teach virtually during my in-person classes.

I start my meeting, share my computer audio (Spotify) (which is also connected via bluetooth to an external speaker).  I mute everyone in the zoom meeting, including myself, and teach my class.

Everything is perfect so far!

At the end of class, I do a stretch/cooldown portion, where I need my zoom participants to hear me.  I have an external mic headset, that is connected to my laptop, I unmute myself in Zoom, and I turn down the music on my laptop (which is still connected to my external speaker), and begin my cooldown, while walking participants through the motion

The problem:
The music from the shared audio is still too loud for my Zoom participants and they can barely hear me speaking in the microphone.

Question:

Can I control the shared audio volume to only affect the Zoom participants, and not my in-person folks?  (ie: turn the music down for the zoom participants)

Can I turn up the volume for my microphone? (I checked microphone settings, and have the mic already turned all the way up, but it's not loud enough because the background music - shared audio - is still at 100%)

please help 🙂
