Zoom Control Location When Sharing

[drewl]

I have a second monitor connected to my PC.  When I share an app on Zoom the Zoom controls show up at the top of monitor 2.  I would prefer they stay on monitor 1 (PC monitor).  How can I change this?

Toggle the Use dual monitors check box - as if you were following these steps:

Unfortunately enabling "Use dual monitors" didn't change the floating meeting controls default location for me. The floating meeting controls still default to the external display (2) rather than the built-in display (1). 

Even if I move them to the built-in display (1), they default back to the external display (2) next time I share my screen.

Indeed, even if I disable "Show my Zoom Windows to other participants" and/or enable "Share selected app window only" and/or share only a specific app (rather than, say, "Desktop 2" on macOS) the floating meeting controls default to the external display (2) rather than the built-in display (1). (This means that—among other things—this other post is not actually "solved": https://community.zoom.com/t5/Meetings/Floating-controls-when-sharing-screen/m-p/16000).

So I have to pause presenting every time I restart a Zoom session, move into the room to see the projector, drag the floating meeting controls to my main monitor, and then return to the podium. It's more disruptive than what I experience on any other video conferencing software.
