I've encountered a problem with Zoom Version: 6.1.6 (37851) on my MacBook Air M1: during a meeting, after giving Zoom permission to 'Screen & System Audio Recording', I'm prompted to restart Zoom, which I do as expected. However, Zoom doesn't relaunch by itself, even though I understand that it should – when I grant the same permission outside of a meeting, Zoom automatically restarts.

Once, when replicating this behavior, I got a "The application "zoom.us" is not open anymore" message from finder.

In terms of troubleshooting, I've tried to reinstall zoom several times, but to no avail.

No crash reports were generated by zoom.

Here, I'm attaching a link to my video with this behavior.
