Is there a way to stop Zoom from stealing focus on macOS?


Just what the title says. I've poked around and haven't been able to find any solutions. I find this behavior annoying and sleazy and thought maybe someone here might have found a solution?

If it's the fullscreen trick zoom pulls on when someone shares screen, you can turn it off in option.

Somewhat off-topic: Is there a way to stop any application from stealing focus? I hate it when the Terminal app grabs the focus while I'm typing something.
