Microphone issues on Bluetooth Headphones - Android App

I have a recent issue with the Android App of Zoom. I am using Bluetooth headphones (I have used multiple pairs to rule out its the headphone issue), when I enter a meeting,  will connect to meetings & receive audio from the meeting, however for some reason it is using my phones microphone (despite audio coming through my headphones) vs my headphones microphone.

 

I have tested just making calls on my phone through my Bluetooth headphones and it works just fine  as the Mic is picking up from my headphones. 

 

I just can't seem to solve this issue. Never was a problem until about a month ago. Using same phone S21 Ultra. I can call into meetings, then video in with my phone. It just isn't ideal and the audio quality isn't nearly as clear. HELP!

      I had this same problem. You can't fix it while running the Zoom app on your Android phone. You need to go to Android Settings, then Apps, then select Zoom, then Permissions, and give Zoom permission to "Nearby devices". Just to be safe, I also then rebooted my phone. That did the trick for me. The next time I fired up the Zoom app with the bluetooth headset connected, it just worked. I don't have to do this for other apps, just Zoom on Android.
