Re: remote mobile app tests - sharing screen and audio (android)

I've never had any luck joining Zoom from my iphone and having the
VoiceOver audio be shared. It shares other audio, such as if I play a
youtube video from my phone, but it won't share the voiceover audio. I've
always had to join Zoom from my PC and then use the "share iphone" option
from Zoom on my PC. That allows me to share both youtube (or whatever)
audio *and* VoiceOver audio.

My iphone is the latest, 14.7.1
Zoom on my iphone (which I don't use for sharing VoiceOver audio) is 5.7.5
Zoom on my PC is 5.7.4
Windows 10
