Bluetooth IEM Audio Delay on Zoom — Simple Fix That Worked for Me

I’ve noticed that when using Bluetooth IEMs on Windows 11, there’s often a noticeable audio delay during Zoom meetings, especially with music or screen sharing. I ran into this problem last month and tried a few different fixes.

What worked for me:

  1. Make sure the Bluetooth profile is set to “Hands-Free AG Audio” in Windows Sound settings.

  2. Disable “Allow Zoom to automatically adjust mic volume” in the Zoom audio settings.

  3. Re-pair the IEMs, then restart Zoom completely.

After that, latency dropped significantly. It’s not perfect (Bluetooth latency exists), but it made meetings usable again.
