Note: Some users are reporting audio issues as there are interruptions on the TV speaker and the audio shoots out from the phone. This issue is seemingly present in other Video conferencing applications as well. This could be due to the fact that the microphone of the smartphone is used as audio input for the calls. The issue seems to be a third-party one and Zoom needs to fix it from their side.
Additionally, you can also use an external speaker connected to the Smartphone through Bluetooth for better audio projection. A recent update for the Zoom Room feature added Kiosk Mode, real-time people count, and many more new additions.
