Check Audio and Visual Settings

When setting up a Zoom meeting make sure to test/check that the meeting owl is the default Speaker and Mic.ÌýYou shouldn’t have to change the Video, but if you don’t get the Owl video (of the meeting room you’re in) return to this screen and check the Video settings.

Audio Sharing in Zoom

When sharing your screen (and showing a video with audio) click the Share Computer Sound box before clicking the Share Screen button.ÌýOtherwise, participants won’t hear the audio clearly.

Screen Sharing Tips With PowerPoint

Have your PowerPoint or other documents you will be sharing open before launching Zoom.

Share the screen with the PowerPoint before having the PowerPoint go into "Slide Show" mode.

Sometimes Zoom shares the Presenter's version with notes rather than the full-screen version. Ask your remote participants to confirm what they are seeing on their screen.


Monitor Zoom Chat

It is a good practice to have a second person in the meeting that monitors the Chat function of a Zoom meeting in case the remote participants can't hear or you can't hear the remote participants.Ìý
