Google Meet supports noise-cancelling in outgoing audio (for business customers), but the user needs to enable it once in their settings. In my experience this last bit is already a hurdle ...

Teams have something in the pipe for this, that will cancel out noise. I think it was a youtube video linked here a while back.

Here's another https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCrCkgjZEXQ

Zoom actually does noise and echo cancellation by default, but you can turn it off.

If services are indeed doing, or moving to, end-to-end encrypted media, there's nothing the server can do here.

Doesn’t mean they can’t do anything about the noise, just that they can’t do it on the server.

The RNNoise link from the bottom of that post runs the noise suppression in real time in JavaScript. Zoom et al. could do this client side while still doing proper E2E. (Although Zoom already uses more cou that I think it needs to...)
