In that situation you’re better off using Meet audio only & holding the phone as if doing a video call - the background noise cancellation modern phones do is very impressive but it only really works if you use the phone as a phone & hold it up to your ear / mouth.
Yeah, maybe I should have forfeited being on video for the sake of audio, didn't think it would be this bad. I do attribute at least half the problem to the removal of headphone jacks though, I don't remember this being that big a deal with the regular DAC in any old phone
Yeah, earbud noise cancellation may as well be non-existent unfortunately.
You’d think a phone could do cancellation between the bud microphone & it’s own microphones; maybe once the audio data from the bud has been pushed through bluetooth audio compression there’s no longer enough information to do that effectively?
