how do I use airpods on my ipad for zoom calls

Hey there plotdoctor,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand your AirPods are not working with the Zoom app on your iPad. We’ll be happy to help with this.

Just to verify, does this issue only occur with the Zoom app? Does other audio play and work without issue?

If so, this could be related to some settings related to the app itself and you’ll want to reach out to the app developer to see if there is anything you need to adjust:

We hope this helps.

Take care.
