Turn off voice isolation so I can share computer audio

[Fireyshamrock]

Whenever I try to screenshare & share computer audio I get a pop up that says:

Turn off voice isolation

Audio sharing works best when "Voice Isolation" is turned off. To turn off "Voice Isolation", go to Control Center in the menu bar, click Mic Mode, then select "Standard".

I have looked everywhere and I do not see this as an option. I have tried adjusting every mic setting and I keep getting the pop up warning. How do I fix this so I can share my computer audio when screensharing?

ME TOOOOO!!!!!! This has been an issue now for over a month and I can't seem to find the fix. The instructions are not correct. There is NO MIC MODE

I FOUND IT!!!!!!! 

Get on a meeting and start screen sharing (you will get the pop up...just dismiss it.) Now, look at the top towards the middle, not the settings!!! You will see a box with a little man, click on it and then you will see mic mode finally! I am attaching screen shots!

Thank you for this! I did not have the same icon but it was on the control center icon. I was having trouble with the audio since early this year and I could not have found the fi if it weren't for you!

The problem is that when you change it from isolation to standard, after a few seconds, it automatically goes back to voice isolation.

Hello,

This voice isolation message is about Mac OS, not about Zoom.

Am a newbie to this forum and apologies if I am posting in the wrong place, but I have a question about the "personal audio isolation" function in Zoom's audio settings.  Does anyone know if using it will solve the following issue ...

I use Zoom for teaching classes of about 8 to 10 people each, and usually record meetings for my students to review lessons. When watching a recent recording, this happened a lot:  I make some funny comment, my students laugh, then I continue talking but my voice cannot be heard until all students have stopped laughing, meaning that they are missing much of what I am saying.  So will the P.A.I. function give my mic (esp as meeting host) dominance over all other mics in the group?  Of course, I could simply mute everyone, but then we all will miss student interjections and laughter, etc.  In case the P.A.I. function will NOT solve this issue, is there any way to set the audio to simulate a meeting where only the main speaker has a mic but where meeting participants can still be heard (at least when the main speaker is silent)?  Any thoughts/advice much appreciated!

Just wanted to say that this is June 2025 and this thread was a breakthrough. I too still experienced the popup, which is completely wrong and misleading as this thread demonstrates. I experienced it trying to record voice and guitar thru musicians' audio settings on Zoom. The issue was that voice would be recorded cleaning but guitar suppressed entirely. Another thread suggested noise suppression needed to be turned to Low from Auto. That didn't help. Another said the gain on the mic had to be turned way up. That got some guitar but garbled in feedback. Turning off this setting via the bizarre workaround of having to share a screen, when I never intended to do that, to shut this off as the popup message apparently correctly advised WAS the solution. Now I get voice and guitar! 

Zoom engineers: C'mon. I know there is so much to do on a software app but if you are going to make musicians' settings available, this issue is years old at this point and needs to be fixed. I shouldn't have had to be a user that lost many days of his life in terms of troubleshooting and anxiety because I figured my Blue Yeti X mic was broken out of the box somehow and that the popup message should be ignored because it was clearly pointing to some historical fix that no longer existed! Fix this message and/or setting!
