Meeting video : equalizer preset : voice amplification & background noise remover

Question: I try to use vlc to re-watch my online meetings, but VLC is configured by default for movies and music.
This causes the meeting audio (background noise & room echo) to be even worse...

I checked the equalizer presets and there is no preset for voice enhancements.

1) Could somebody share hes preset to make background noise less worse?
Could VLC developers add such a preset to the default presets?

I also have a similar problem with music and video's, where the surrounding music is way harder then the voice, which makes it very difficult to understand the text that they are speaking.
Some software have a voice booster, that amplify the speech within music and videos.
2) Do you know if VLC developers are working on a AI noise remover? Or a Voice booster?

Thank you in advance

Voice Amplification

Use a Mid Boost or High-Mid Boost preset to enhance the clarity of voices.
Increase mid-range frequencies (around 500 Hz to 3 kHz) to emphasize speech.
You can slightly boost high frequencies (5 kHz to 8 kHz) for added crispness and clarity.

Background Noise Removal:

Use a low-cut filter or high-pass filter to reduce unwanted low-frequency noise (below 80 Hz or 100 Hz).
Consider a Noise Gate or Noise Reduction plugin in your audio software to reduce persistent background noise.
Avoid over-boosting any frequencies that may amplify background noise.

Test & Adjust:

Always test your settings in real-world conditions, as background noise can vary.
Fine-tune the equalizer for optimal clarity while minimizing any unwanted sounds.
