Option to disable only built-in microphone in Portal TV
Echo problem is very common with portal tv, making the experience on the other end annoying. Even with external Bluetooth conference speakers, it doesn't resort. It would be good to have an option to disable only built-in microphone.

Similarly, when I pair any bluetooth speaker+microphone device (like some Jabra earbuds or Anker PowerConf) to the Portal TV, the speaker on the bluetooth device works fine, but the microphone doesn't seem to be enabled - the person on the other end of the call can only hear me through the Portal TV built-in microphone. A "Select Microphone" in the Settings would seem to be the solution, but alas it is not there (at least that I can find).

Hi! This feature does need to be added and it's important. We purchased portals for Judges to use for Zoom Calls. We have multiple TVs in the courtroom with the zoom calls to be displayed and to hear attorneys or multiple parties. We thought the portal would have been a perfect solution for the Judge's bench. But at this time we can not disable the microphone. So the zoom call echos. There really does need to be a fix for this. Otherwise, it's not very useful.
Most streamers and broadcasters don't use built-in microphones. To have both cameras/microphones or nothing at all seems silly.
This really does need to be an option.
