Zoom on Android and iOS Not Recognizing External Microphones

Hello Zoom Community,

I recently purchased the Hollyland LARK M2 wireless microphones, and they work perfectly on my Android device in general. However, when I try to use them in Zoom (Android and iOS), the app does not recognize them as an available microphone option. Instead, Zoom defaults to using the built-in microphone of my phone, with no way to manually select the LARK M2 as the primary audio input.


Steps I've Tried:

1. Verified that the LARK M2 is properly connected before launching Zoom.
2. Checked Zoom's microphone permissions in Android and iOS settings.
3. Tested the microphones in other apps (they work fine).
4. Updated both the Zoom app and the LARK M2 firmware.
5. Tried third-party recording apps that allow selecting external microphones (which work).

 

The Problem:

Unlike on a PC, where Zoom allows selecting different microphone inputs, the mobile version of Zoom seems to lack an option to manually select an external microphone. This is frustrating because many content creators and professionals rely on external audio solutions for better sound quality.


Questions for the Zoom Team & Community:

Is there any way to force Zoom to use an external microphone (LARK M2) on mobile devices?
Are there any plans to add a feature that allows manual microphone selection in Zoom for Android/iOS?
Has anyone found a workaround or third-party solution to override the phone’s default microphone setting for Zoom?

Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best,

How do I remove this hint pop-up message on my shared application screens?

There is a kind of "hint" message that displays along the upper corner of the application window, which is impeding upon my ability to work.  the message displayed, "Drag to desktop 2 to share" is obstructing my view.

 

I have a 4-monitor screen set-up, and (while hosting) I'm sharing all windows from a particular application.  The application I've chose to share has multiple windows across all four monitor screens.   I understand to "Share all windows from an application" means I'm required to determine which one of my four monitors will be used to share any windows associated with this app.  I've chose to use "Desktop 2." 

 

Although Zoom doesn't allow me to share multiple monitor screens at once (which I would certainly prefer over sharing multiple app windows in a single screen, since squeezing my 4-monitor workflow into a single monitor is not conducive for displaying my productivity "live" so to speak), I do still appreciate that Zoom allows me some freedom in choosing-at-will the app windows I want to share.  With that said, I don't need the hint to remain displayed.  How do we hide it?  In my case, I'd like to simply prevent it from appearing at all, since I'm already aware of the functionality for sharing app windows.

 

I've provided a screenshot of the instance, here.  Thank you!

Is there a human at Zoom?

The suggestions haven't worked. The issue is simple.

 

Is there any human there who is willing to help me? With ACTUAL customer service?

 

It's not that big an issue. It shouldn't require this much effort to get it solved.

 

Thanks.

Can I have 400 breakout rooms?

My understanding is that the maximum number of breakout rooms is 100. I am running a workshop for 1000 people and would like them to be able to get into pairs in breakout rooms. Is that a feature that I could request or pay for as a one-off?

 

Recording Zoom video without showing participant faces

Hello,

 

What ZOOM settings do you use to record videos so that the screen can be seen but you do not see the faces of the participants?  I am fine with my face being seen but prefer that my participants faces be kept confidential.

I host meetings each week. In the last week, I have noticed that if someone has their screen off, there is no longer a black tile with their name showing. I can only tell if someone has joined my meeting when I look at the bottom toggle bar.

 

Is there a way to ensure that the boxes for participants are visible to myself as the presenter EVEN if they have their screen off?
Thank you

I want to use the QR-Code option for polls (the participants are in the same room and need to use their smartphones to answer). However I want to present one question, collect the answers, talk about the question, then move on to the next questions.

Right know, however the participants can answer all questions in one go and be done with it. I don't want that.

I could, of course, create separate polls and select the next poll, whenever I want to move on to the next question. However, the participants would have to scan a new QR-Code for every new question and that is too annoying.

Is there an option to present the polling questions one at a time?

Video recording missing

Hi, I am not finding a recording of an extremely important meeting. I was on the pro plan then, then I switched to basic. 

Even though I returned to the Zoom Pro paid version, I can not find it.

I can't seem to find my local recording. It does not appear on my local recordings. I did not had my desktop app logged in when the meeting happened. I know It was recorded because I saw a sing after the meeting that said "converting file" and now I have no idea where it is.
