Issue when trying to replace someone sharing screen with sound with another share with sound

Is anyone else seeing this message “This webinar has reached the maximum allowed share sound sessions” when trying to share over another person who is already sharing with sound?

This seems new to 7.0.0

 

They only solution we found was to stop sharing sound on the shared then overtake with screen share, or have sound off on overtaking device then turn on sound once shared. It’s doable but not ideal for our workflow.

Hi ​@AsTheySay,

We’re glad to have you here. Welcome to Zoom Community!

Yes, this is expected behavior in Zoom Webinars. Only one participant can share sound at a time. If you try to share over another person who is already sharing with sound, you'll see the message “This webinar has reached the maximum allowed share sound sessions.” This limitation is present when "Multiple participants can share simultaneously" is enabled, as the "Share sound" feature is disabled in webinars.

The workaround you described—stopping the current sound share before starting a new one—is currently the only way to manage this.
