How to do multitasking while screen sharing on Zoom? On iPadOS 14.2 this feature is still missing.

I would like to share my iPad PRO screen while doing multitasking (i.e., 2 apps running on a split screen).

Zoom says Apple does not want to allow for this feature, do they had to disable it: https://www.reddit.com/r/ipad/comments/j7gc2g/multitasking_while_screen_sharing_on_zoom_on/

However, this feature would really be beneficial to several customers.

I understand that Apple wants to simplify our life, especially in this Covid-19 pandemic. Would it be possible for them to allow for Zoom to activate this useful feature in the short run?

Thank you in advance.

iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi, Cellular

As usual, both "Communities" and "Product Feedback" do not deliver an effective output. I am maturing the idea that Apple is moving towards a Microsoft-like model: a money making machine getting farther and farther from its customers.

During Covid-19 emergency, I was expecting more effective support to alleviate the burden of online working. I was wrong. Or, maybe, Apple is wrong.
