I have Zoom on an ancient (vintage) Thinkpad T430, and on a T470. I use the internal webcam on both, as they are good enough, and for audio I have a JBL Tune510-BT, and they work very well. When the bluetooth headset isn't around, I use a 3.5mm earphone to reduce echo. Both are using Mint 21.

Anyone using Zoom on Linux? What is your camera/speaker/mic setup? All in one, or separate?
Background: ----------- I want to use Zoom on my new CachyOS desktop. Zoom package (from vendor site) installs okay, along with its dependencies. Problem is "mic".
- I have lots of 3.5mm earphones/mic (from old phones) with single combo plug. Problem is, my desktop has separate "mic" jack. Also, some of 3.5mm jacks are broken.
- So, I bought $5 bluetooth speaker from Dollarama, which has speaker and mic. Speaker works with CachyOS, but not mic.
- I have old USB "webcam", that is camera only.
- Maybe, all I need is USB "headset" (headphones + mic)?
