I am still unclear when or if I should enable Exclusive mode while on Zoom.
My setup is W11, simple USB audio mixer for mics and standalone speaker output, webinars using screen sharing, YT video via G-browser, and mp4 files. What does Zoom recommend? I've read a few posts and MS definitions but is still unclear.
Thanks for your help.

Hi, @Italiangen2022.
This is more of a Windows question than a Zoom one, but I do see where you'd be concerned with Zoom usage of mics or speakers regarding this setting.
I rarely enable the Exclusive mode of any sound devices. I don't want any one application to take full control over a mic or a speaker, as I'm frequently using a mixer (like Voicemeeter or the audio functions within vMix) or wanting to use audio from one device to go into multiple other inputs. So unless a manufacturer or software package says "always use Exclusive mode or this won't work", I leave it disabled.
