To ensure that the Zoom meeting window remains at the top of all other windows, you can enable Keep on Top in Zoom app. This setting is commonly known as Always on Top and can be enabled on both Windows and Mac devices during a Zoom meeting.
Always on Top or Keep on Top setting has proven to be incredibly helpful, and I’ve utilized it frequently. This feature allows me to multitask efficiently during Zoom meetings, as the Zoom meeting app window consistently remains on top of all other windows.
