While a lot of focus in Zoom meetings is on the webcam, the audio is actually more important.
Without your audio configured, you cant hear other people, which makes it much harder to actually communicate.
By default, Zoom plays audio through your default system audio output machine.
This means if you normally hear sound out of your speakers, then Zoom will use your speakers.
This isnt necessarily what you want all the time though.
You may want Zoom to play audio through a headset, or earphones for example.
To configure your Zoom audio output tweaks, you gotta open Zooms tweaks.
To jump into the prefs, select your user icon in the top-right corner, then select prefs.
To access Zooms prefs, select your user icon, then on prefs in the dropdown menu.
Once in the controls, switch to the Audio tab.
In the Speaker section, use the dropdown box to opt for audio output gear you want to use.
Use the Volume slider underneath the dropdown box to configure the output volume.
Tip: The Same as System audio equipment configures your machine to use the system default audio output equipment.
This will automatically align with any changes you make to the default system audio output rig.
