Using Zoom with Everywhere Polls embedded in PPT for Mac

Hi all bright people.

I am having a heck of a time getting Zoom and Everywhere Polls to work well together using a MacBook pro and PowerPoint.  Everywhere Polls launches sometimes, not others on Zoom.  I am supposed to "share desktop" in order to get the EV polls to work but then I lose the Chat and the ability to see the participants and even lose the ability to unhide Video Panel option.

So frustrating .. any tips would be most appreciated.

Thanks, Laurie
