Hi @SaintAlexius 

You can control it if your are a host.

See more, https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/4417196642189-Zoom-screen-sharing-security

In Zoom meetings, the host and participants can screen share. If a host or participant shares their screen, only their screen is visible to all meeting participants. To share your screen or content with others, you must click or tap Share Screen EddiePAEK_0-1650801599123.png , located in your meeting controls. Only the user who wants to screen share has manual control over their own screen.

I am the host of the meeting. I know how to enable screen sharing and do it regularly. I am on a call right now and when I try to enable screen sharing by pressing "Share Screen", I get the "Host disabled participant screen sharing". I DID NOT DISABLE IT and I cannot find a way for the host to enable it.
