Zoom drops when connected to external display and the external display loses power

I have a mac book pro which is connected to external display. I usually keep the lid of the macbook closed.
During a zoom meeting when the power to external display is lost, zoom automatically closes and kicks me out of the meeting.

This doesn't happen on windows machine. On windows, i am still in the meeting when power to external display is lost.

is there a way i can fix this for mac ?

Any other device that is made a co-host will be made host when the host leaves the meeting. Setup a second device as a co-host and test it.
