I am trying to connect an external mic with iPhone and while most of the other apps like voice memo, etc recognizes the mic and works on that mic - while connecting to Zoom meeting, it uses the iPhone's in-built mic and does not use the external mic. I tried looking up settings but didn't see an option to switch the mic. How can I switch the mic that zoom uses?

Hi Alan_kline,
Here's what you can do to connect an external mic to your iPhone.
Plug in your mic before opening Zoom
Restart the Zoom app after connecting
Make sure you’re using the right iOS adapter
Test with another mic if possible
For important meetings where you need your external mic, we recommend joining through the Zoom desktop app or web client instead.
