3/2025 Zoom noise suppression is too high on all available settings. My mic, Blue Yeti test fine in every other app. I need to pick up the sound of my breath. at one time last year if the audio Background noise suppression was set on LOW the breathing techniques i was trying to share on zoom came across quite well. since then and several zoom updates later it looks like this low setting not only cancels the breath but even when super close to the mic, it will not pick up any other non-voice sound either. i’m literally shaking my pens and scissors in a metal container and nothing it being picked up, I have tried every setting including Original sound and the new Beta Live performance. While making a recording to test this i use 3 different mics. none of them on zoom would allow the breath. I adjusted every settings to max input, max gain, tried everything and zoom only picks up the first second of the breath and then suppresses the rest, I am breathing loud and fast through the mouth. This sounds great Testing the mic in the logitech app test record and in iMovie and Quicktyme. I have a mac M3, i deleted the zoom app and reinstalled for a mac silicon chip thinking that would help. nope
Help! i am hosting a zoom meeting soon and the entire thing is centered around the breath. How do i share breathwork? This was working fine in January 2025. the noise suppression for low, medium, high are all the same.

Original audio is a 3 step process.
Select your mic first then
1. Select settings > audio > original sound
2. Under original sound deselect echo cancellation
3. In the upper right area of the Zoom window click to turn original sound ON
The MAC OS also has audio features that are designed to enhance voice. You need to turn those features off.
