Zoom Cloud Meetings: Can I block Voice Over from the meeting audio?

I facilitate meetings using Zoom and don't want VM to go out on the call. Is there a way I can block VM from the conference but still have access for my own screen navigation? Thanks for any advice.

I also use Zoom on a regular basis on the iPhone. I find that if I just use a set of ear buds, the other people in the meeting do not hear Voiceover speech.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I believe VoiceOver should already be minused out on the mix because on phone and FaceTime calls it's usually silenced, however earbuds aren't a bad recommendation, either.

HTH,

Hello, I found this post and have a similar question. If I am hosting a meeting and don't need to share audio then I can plug in headphones and everything is fine but there are times when I must screen share as well as share sound. When in Zoom, I hear what seems like a second VO voice announcing everyone who enters the conference and everything that is put in the chat box. JAWS has a speech on demand function for zoom, does VO have anything like that? Thanks!

isn't it possible to route VoiceOver to the desired device if one has the Audio routing action in the Rotor settings?
