Zoom is good at filtering out rather loud background noises. I can't imagine that the sound of background typing during a conversation could be detected by the other party.

What? Zoom (by default with auto mic adjustment) catches everything. Typing on laptop is especially bad as it is closer to the mic than the person speaking (unless there is external mic), so it's like a stampede of rhinos.

It shouldn't. Auto (the default) is designed to filter out keystrokes along with other noises, precisely because typing on the laptop is horrible for the reason you mention.

Keystrokes should only be a problem when noise suppression is set to low/off, which you want to do for e.g. playing music.

But noise suppression is applied to sending audio, not receiving it. So you might need to tell your coworkers to re-enable their noise suppression.
