A question about Zoom videoconferencing, Safe Driving Mode [View all]

I'm doing tech support for a person who, as part of her job, is beginning to conduct online classes on Zoom. The clientele is a mixed bag of skills and devices, so tech support is a bit of a challenge, although things are actually going pretty well. I think if I do this a few more months I could talk Edith Bunker through a safe landing of a 747.

We have one client who has the nagging problem of losing video and audio. Their device is an iPhone 11. Zoom has a safe driving mode where video is disabled and the microphone becomes push-to-talk only. I noticed that there was a mention on the Net that some Android versions of Zoom can automatically enter safe driving mode -- sort of like the way Wayz detects when your device is in motion and won't let you use it until you pinky-swear that you're not the driver. I don't see that on my Android tablet or on my iPhone 5.

It caught my eye that the one client with problems is the only one accessing Zoom while riding in a car. Anyone have an Android or a late-model iPhone with Zoom that has that feature?

Thanks in advance,

G
