f the Zoom Remote Control Button Not Displaying Properly

Dear Zoom Team,

Hello! I encountered an issue when sharing my screen with students: I cannot see the "Remote Control" button. I have already checked my account settings to ensure that the "Remote Control" feature is enabled, reinstalled, and updated the Zoom application, but the problem persists.

Interestingly, on one occasion, when my friend shared her screen and the "Remote Control" button appeared on her Zoom interface, she granted me control. After switching to my screen, the button appeared, and I could use the feature. However, it seems that this functionality only becomes available to me when the other person already has the "Remote Control" feature enabled. I cannot activate it directly myself.

After ending the call, I tried another video call with the same friend, shared my screen again, and noticed that the "Remote Control" button was missing once more.

Could you please investigate this issue and help resolve it? I would greatly appreciate your assistance.
