So let me tell you the devices I am using.

Android Device - Samsung S10

iPhone 11
External Microphone - Wireless K8

So I bought this mic and is working as it should. When I connect it to my android and use default camera app, it starts recording audio through USB Audio and works as it should. Same goes with my iPhone.
Now the problem is in Zoom Meeting Android as it is not picking up audio from the external mic while Zoom Meeting on iPhone picks up audio from the external mic as it should.
Can Anyone help me with this issue? Is there a setting, or anything like?

I am having a similar issue, it works with an iPad Pro, but just not with my Android device.

I have the same Issue, I would like to user wireless microphone via usb C.

It works with the phone fine, tested by creating normal video.

But it is not working via zoom, there is no option via the android app to choose microphone device.

Is there any progress here,?

It would be much appreciated

I am having the exact same problem. Bought an earphone a few days ago. It works with all other apps on my phone that are functional to earphones except ZOOM. I have tried everything I can think of to adjust it to ZOOM. However, the arrow icon that appears next to the mic on my laptop which allows you to set the device to access the earphones as its audio source does not appear on my phone. There is literally nothing that allows for that adjustment.

This is very inconvenient as I do not always carry my laptop with me.

Ran into this same issue, found a work around if your hardware supports. I'm using lapel mic here from amazon:

Wireless Lavalier Microphone for Android with Battery Case - EZColoris 2 Mics Condenser Lapel Microphone for Phones Laptop Tablet Mini Lav Mic for Interview Video YouTube Podcast https://a.co/d/c9F1Fdj

With just the mics attached it doesn't work in zoom (does work in camera/video app like others reported). When I attach the earbud to the reciever (which this hardware has the option to), thus making the system more like a "headset" zoom does switchover to use the wireless mics and earbud for audio. Hope this helps if your hardware supports a speaker!

I have the same issue as well. I submitted a feature request to add an audio option for an external mic in the android app. But I'm not holding my breath over it.

this was done on an android device with a wireless usb microphone

1. Test using camera to be sure it works first.

2. connect to meeting

3. plug in ext microphone

4. go to "more " settings and enable original audio

5. click mute speaker

It been already 16 years from android first release and its increíble that something as simple as connecting an external usb mic does not work in most of the conference apps!!

I have a usb c microphone. Worked fine on my android and laptop. Then one day the cell stopped recognizing it. In the msg panel it shows as a charging device. Still works on my laptop. Not sure if an android update changed something. Not sure

I have tried no end of tests and setups and cannot get external audio into a Zoom meeting when using an Android phone (Samsung S23 FE). I have tried using a hdmi capture device into the phones USB C connector, the video transports through to the output but not the camera's audio, it still uses the phones own internal mic. There are a lot of issue with Zoom and audio funtions, not their best tech support on this at all!!

Tengo el mismo problema. Crei que era el único y no logro aún solucionarlo de ninguna manera.

¿Alguien ya lo logró?
