Yes, but at least intelligible. Both Zoom and Hangouts suck and drop audio when the connection is bad. They are also seemingly excellent at dropping the most important words while keeping the most irrelevant words. :)
Clubhouse, which uses Agora for voice, actually does a much better job at this, it buffers the missed audio and then when the connection comes back, it continues playing the audio slightly faster (it uses some signal processing trickery to speed up voice without shifting the spectrum) until it catches up to the real-time stream, and avoids dropping any audio.
What I really want to see eventually, when we have the hardware to do it real-time, is sending minimal data (on the order of just text and a pose) and deepfaking the voice and video on the receiving end during short periods of bad connectivity.
