I had the same problem and upon going through a few forums someone finally found the solution and it works. This is what you should do: add the "nearby devices" permission through the Zoom app settings.

Android audio is notoriously finnicky, especially when OS-established audio is used by apps like Zoom.

 

Can you try exiting the Zoom application entirely, rebooting your phone, establishing the BT audio connection, and then launching Zoom?

Hello) I tried reinstalling the zoom application, rebooting the phone and launching the application after connecting bluetooth, but it did not help me( The problem appeared after updating to version 5.17.1.18472, but I cannot install the previous version. On my old phone, the zoom application version 5.16.10.17646 and everything works correctly on it

I can't find the 'nearby devices' setting anywhere in the Android app. Where is it? I'm sure it's obvious but I just can't see it!   Thank you.

It's in Device settings => Apps => Zoom => Permissions
