Hi,
On Windows there's a sound mixer app that lets you adjust the volumes of individual running apps. Is there anything similar available for iOS? I ask because currently I'm on a Zoom call on my iPhone and even with VoiceOver's volume at 100%, the volume of people talking on this Zoom call is so loud I still can't clearly hear VoiceOver. I didn't find any volume control within Zoom itself, surprisingly. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

No volume control but…
What you could try is turning audio ducking on. That will drop the volume of other audio while voiceover is talking. You’ll find the setting in voiceover settings or in quick settings which you can get to by a 2 finger quadruple tap. If it’s not there, you can customise quick settings and add it again in voiceover settings in the settings app. Many people have been asking for a volume mixer for many years.
Turn voice over off
I absolute hate audio ducking, wish they never introduced it, so any device I get, comp, phone etc, I stop that. However if you want to hear and not voice over, since it yells anyway, just turn it off. Put your phone to mute so you don't hear the sounds and binge watch away. If you want voice over on at times, just turn it on, pause audio, read whatever, then turn it off again.
Activities
I might be wrong, but can't one use activities to define this app's volume?
