Zoom seems to disable OBS hotkeys...any solutions?

I'm on the latest mac version of Zoom 5.4.6, and OBS 26.1, but I noticed this in earlier versions:

I assign hotkeys to scenes in OBS, and all seems fine. The keys work for about 30 seconds after I launch Zoom, and then cease functioning. Once I quit Zoom they work again. Has anyone else noticed this? Any solution?

MacOS 10.15.7

I am having exactly this problem. I can leave them (zoom and obs) side by side, and if I have OBS active my hotkeys (to switch between scenes) work flawlessly, but if I have Zoom active they don't do a damn thing. My monitor is big enough that this isn't an enormous problem, but considering the entirety of the internet (let alone the related threads in this forum) seem to think that hotkeys = global and keyboard shortcuts = local, and these are meant to be hotkeys, it seems like they should continue working. I'm also in zoom 5.4.6 and OBS 26.1, for reference.

I also just found that if you go into system preferences -> privacy you can adjust input monitoring, specifically allowing OBS to do so, and that likely resolves it as well. Will report back!

It did not :( I'm gonna settle with holding both windows side by side, keeping OBS active, and just use the stinking directional keys to navigate up and down, which SEEMS SO FREAKING SILLY considering that I literally had working hotkeys not two hours ago, and now they seem to have completely disappeared.
