Zoom app on iPhone lock screen now shows up as a music app rather than a phone call

I don't know if anyone has noticed this but it is extremely annoying. In iOS 13 when you were on a zoom call and locked your screen the interface shown for the zoom call was like a phone call so you could mute or put it on speaker from the lock screen.

From iOS 14 this has changed and it shows up as a music/podcast app with pause/play, rewind and forward button. Is there a way to change this?

Is it like that for actual Zoom meetings or for events where there's a speaker but others aren't really allowed to talk? Not sure if Zoom differentiates between these, but going by how Microsoft Teams works and treats things when it comes to meetings vs. live events, perhaps there's something similar when it comes to Zoom.

No it is for all calls even when you are the host. Very annoying.

Another meeting service I use at work does same thing. Shows pause button. Tapping it does nothing.

So if you get a call while you are on zoom you will start to see the phone version of zoom post that. Don’t know if zoom needs to fix or it’s an iOS 14 problem.
