I had people complain they couldn't hear me well when I used their (deprecated) iOS app. I kept having to turn off the ML noise-cancelling.

I had similar issues with their macOS app using a pretty basic headphone+microphone setup (EarPods). I ended up leaving it off and not re-installing in on my latest setup.

I've had a subscription from mid-2019, though I no longer use it. I find Zoom's basic noise suppression good enough for calls.

I believe Zoom licensed Krisp to handle noise-cancelling in their client.

Have you used the internal mic?

I found out that if the phone is too far away, the voice would flagged as ‚background chatting‘ and therefore muted.

Once I connected a headset those issues went away.

I was using standard corded iPhone earpods.
