No "Test mic" option in zoom in Ubuntu 20.04

Why is there no "Test microphone" option in Ubuntu 20.04. I've tried installing via snap or from the `.deb` file but there's still no option. There are even times where there' s no sound or the sound is inaudible.

Is that option not included in Linux versions?

Hey @chan-dev, firstly attempt updating Zoom on Linux. Could you please adjust the configuration to make it similar to the following example and let me know if this helps?

If not, can you verify if the issue is reproducible in Web Client? Looking forward to your response and to further assist you 🙂

I'm on Linux Ubuntu 22.04 and this is how it looks. So, no button for testing microphone. Just recently installed Zoom.

I have the same request as well, testing the microphone is a very important feature, and it should be available on the Linux app.

2025 and this is ~~STILL~~ broken again, wow (Pop!_OS / Ubuntu, X11)
UPDATE: for me this has now been fixed with Zoom 6.4.13 (2309)

(however, it has caused another, worse issue: https://community.zoom.com/t5/Zoom-Meetings/Menus-don-t-work-with-Linux-client/td-p/171305)
