Hi.

Is there a possibility for adding a settings option to playback my own microphone while speaking in a Zoom meeting, so I basically hear exactly what the meeting participants hear when I speak along with their responses both through my own speakers.

This is useful (and preferred to external methods) since Zoom does excellent noise cancellation and echo removal processing which would be lost using an external solution to duplicate the microphone audio in a setting where I have 1 microphone and both in-person and online participants.

I know I can run another device as a participant and have that play the audio to my speakers separately, but this isn’t always practical and can add complexity for non-technical users, diminishing the plug and play nature of Zoom some have become accustomed to.

Thanks.
