"Host only" screen share setting broken?

I want everyone in meetings I host to be able to screen share by default.

 

I've set the appropriate setting in my account (see screenshot).

 

However, whenever I click "New meeting", Zoom still defaults to "Host only" screensharing (see screenshot) and other users cannot share their screens. 

 

Is this a bug?

hi cakehoover,

 

i tested on my account and it works.  after i made my changes, i clicked Save.  

 

To change the default for meetings you host, adjust the screen sharing settings on the Settings page on the web portal.  make sure to click Save after making changes.
