How can I prevent my video call app stealing audio from music playing in another app?

Our answer

Disable the meeting app’s exclusive audio or automatic device-switch option and select the music output explicitly.

Why this approach makes sense

Device software, permissions and connected services change how a feature behaves; use settings for the actual model rather than a generic workaround.

Before you try it

Verify the relevant device and account permissions, and make changes one at a time.
