External Microphone

Question

External Microphone

Hi,

I got Rode NT usb mini recently which I wanted to use with my iPad Air 4 for recordings, meeting and live videos on social media platforms. Unfortunately, external microphone is getting recognised only in recording apps like GarageBand and voice memo, but not in apps facilitating live interactions like google meet, Instagram etc in case of which iPads internal microphone and speakers are used for input/output.

Is there any way to toggle the input/output used for audio?

I’m not sure whether it’s iPads/microphone’s limitation or the way other apps are developed.

Any solution/work around to use external microphone for live interactions using iPad Air 4 will be appreciated.

Thanks

iPad Air, iPadOS 14
