How to turn on/off Zoom audio notifications

Nowadays people are doing work from home due to the threat of COVID-19 infection. This is largely contributed by apps like Zoom, which provide facilities like online meetings or school classes for children. Zoom has a very popular audio notification that lets you know if an attendee has joined or left a meeting. This feature comes in handy when you are waiting for someone to join. But it can cause a lot of irritation when you are attending a very large group meeting and you keep getting notification sound due to frequent visitors. The sound of this notification is like a doorbell, which gives a feeling of someone’s doorbell ringing in the real environment. But you can also mute it. It also has some features that you can either turn on notifications for everyone or just host and co-host. There is also an option to ask the user to record a voice to use this sound as a notification when someone connects through the phone.
