Is there a setting to disable the floating chat window?

Is there any way to make the chat window _not_ float above everything else and still be a separate window? To be clear, I'm not looking to disable, close, or merge the chat window, I want a separate chat window but not floating above all other windows. I want it to move to the background when I switch apps just like every other Zoom window.

 

Thanks!

macOS: 12.3.1 (21E258)

Zoom: 5.10.4 (6592)

    Hi there!

     

    At this time, the meeting chat window will remain above other windows during a meeting. It can be resized to an extent. I encourage you to share this suggestion using this Feedback Form so it can be routed to the developers for consideration.

    Hi - I have had Android Zoom for a while on my Galaxy Tab S6.  But this issue of my "chat head" floating over the top of the other participants in the meeting started recently - was this a "feature" from an upgrade?  I like the blur background, but I *hate* the floating chat head.  Is there no way to shut this off - even if I have to ditch the blur background?
