When you show an object, a board or anything non human, zoom automatically blurry even if its on the foreground. Even showing a piece of paper with a drawing is a challenge now.

This is so frustrating that I am about to change to another program. How can zoom have such disregard for teachers?

Just add an option to disable enhanced or ai focus.

I'm an art teacher, and I need to be able to keep my webcam focused on my paper on my desk so my students can see what I'm drawing very clearly when I move my hand around the drawing (I don't want it to refocus on my hand). In every app that I test it out in, it looks great, and stays focused on the paper like it's supposed to. When I use this same set up in zoom, it falls apart. There seems to be something going on in zoom where it blurs parts of the image that it doesn't think is the main focus. So, it doesn't matter if I have my camera's focus locked, because zoom blurs it after the fact when I move my hand into the frame. There is something similar happening with the webcam that is pointed at my face. If I select the same camera in facetime, obs, and zoom - the entire image is clear in facetime and obs, but zoom blurs the background. (I have the background blurring function disabled, so that's not what's going on). Can someone help me figure out how to fix this?

I can't hear audio outside of the zoom app during meetings. I need to be able to hear notifications outside the meeting. I tried adjusting the setting in the volume mixer and changing the background noise suppression settings. Using different headphones doesn't change anything. I can't change the output audio settings without muting everything. I'm on Windows 10.

my participants appear in miniature size windows and they seem far away. I am unable to use functions like unmute, mute, or rename my participants.  My profile as a host appears small and distant.

I've never faced this issue before. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated
