Adding a Bluetooth speaker to Zoom on Ipad

I run Zoom yoga classes and use an ipad Version OS14.1. I have recently started using Rode microphones and connect a lightning cable to use the microphones. The microphones work well but it has reduced the speaker sound when students talk to me. I have to sit next to the ipad to hear them (not helpful when teaching yoga as I am about 2 metres away from the screen). I am trying to bluetooth a speaker and have looked at the Community posts which state I just need to adjust the speaker information next to the speaker Icon. Using Zoom on my ipad results in no speaker icon. I attach a screen shot below. How do I connect to Bluetooth using the iPad zoom screen please?

Hi Everyone - @InspectorGadget @SaraKarolina @LynTh @Domw9rld

I have contacted Zoom support who have advised me that no, there is no option to bluetooth when using the mobile app. It just doesn't exist.

Leonard from Zoom suggested that I leave feedback on let me provide you with this link https://zoom.us/feed.

Apparently if they do that the Zoom team may look at it for the next update.

I have done so. It would be great if anyone else who is also affected by the lack of being able to Bluetooth to a speaker on their phone or tablet also left some feedback requesting that option. I imagine the more of us who ask for it the more likely it will be to be added in the next update.

Thanks everyone
