On a simpler level, zoom on macOS sketches me out in lots of ways.

My macbook's bluetooth will not connect to my earbuds, but only when zoom is running. Other audio recording/playing apps don't affect things at all. What the heck is going on here?!

Scrolling on settings panels is definitely their own home-brewed scrolling functionality. Why?! Was macOS's not cutting it for some reason?

The settings menu is very clearly not using native OS buttons and inputs. Why?! Why build your own? What is that for?

Nice, that's pretty much what I had to do to fix this. I used the bluetooth explorer to force AAC, and force zoom to use the internal MacBook mic
