Speaker Video appears ON (overlaid over) shared screen

After updating my Zoom client, I experienced an issue where the video of the speaker is shown on top of or overlayed over the shared screen. This makes it difficult for me to see the text on the powerpoint because the speaker's head/video is in the way.

 

I've tried changing the format of how I view the speaker and participants (standard, gallery, on the side, etc.) but none of these work because Zoom will show both the video of the speaker above/beside the shared screen AND overlay the video of the speaker ON the shared screen/powerpoint itself.

 

Is there a way to disable this? It's very frustrating.

 

I'm using Zoom Workplace Version: 6.1.12 (46889).
