Interested as well!
How did you get Zoom on your Android box?
I've used Logitech webcam successfully in this application.
With zoom you can use your phone to call in for audio. So that would be a work around for a mic near you.
Where are you getting your zoom apk to sideload?
Why don't you put the webcam near the couch?
Unless there is a very specific reason that you absolutely must do this using an Android TV unit, you should strongly consider some other option for this, because you're just not going to have good luck using a sideloaded app on an unsupported platform with nonstandard peripheral equipment.
Unless you do not have access to one, you will have a much better experience just doing this with a laptop, even an older laptop or a low-end Chromebook, than you will trying to get this setup to work. (Given that you do have a webcam and headset, it seems likely that you would have access to a laptop, as well.)
I know that's not an answer to the question you were asking, but it's the best solution to the more general problem of using your TV, a webcam, and a headset to videoconference.
Dude, I asked the question it seems, for my case, I just cast my scrren from my Android phone using Google Home, I tested with Zoom app
This cam work too i didn't try yet

Let me tell you the current problem with Android TV and Android AOSP with webcams:
First of all you must take into account that UVC (Universal Video Class) webcams are the ONLY ones that work with Android TV, you can check a list here , recommended webcams are the Logitech C270 which I own and it works correctly. You can also use either TrueConf or Jami ( jami.net ), the only two Android TV native apps for videocalls with remote control and webcams support (I use Jami and it works fine).
Second of all, oficial webcam support was provided starting with Android 9 Pie, however, the Nvidia Shield and the original Xiaomi Mi Box were the only devices (as far as I know) that supported UVC webcams when they were released.
When I bought the original Mi Box back in 2017, I was able to use my Logitech C270 webcam with Tellybean, because the app supported the remote control, it was independent from smartphones and the microphone worked as excpected.
When Android 8 came to the Mi Box, webcams were still supported but for some reason the driver built into the firmware was failing to get the microphone working, I thought this problem was present ONLY on the Mi Box but then I realized it was also present on Android 9 because I bought another Android TV device from another brand (Mecool KM9 Pro) which came with Android 9 and I was surprised that I found the same issue with the microphone I got on the Mi Box with Android 8.
Now that the Mi Box S has Android 9 I was able to confirm the problem is still present, which means every single Android TV device out there with android 9 is plaguing with the same problem except... NVIDIA SHIELD DEVICES!!.
Now, I already created a bug report at Issue Tracker website about this ssue, but I need more people to chime in, adding commentaries about this problem to finally call Google's attention to fix this problem for good!!!. Could you please add your comment about your experience with this problem? please!!! here is the link:

Thank you in advance.
Was able to get an Android 10 TV box with a RK3318 chip. Paired it a webcam that comes with 2 plugs (USB for video, and an audio jack for the mic). But instead of using the mic, I used a USB omnidirectional mic for better audio pickup. It works with zoom, Jitsi, and messenger. Now looking for a utility that will allow default device selection so that I can use newer webcams with higher resolution while allowing the use of the USB external mic instead of the built-in one.
Why not use the webcams mic?
I have MiBox S, and cannot setup to work with webcam mic, since it has a mic in the remote, but i cannot choose the mic, and my remote mic is not working with Zoom, Duo and others
Sideloaded apps from AptoideTV
If the source for mic and speakers are different you will hear an echo
Bluetooth?
