Zoom Cheat Sheet
I was updating a Zoom cheat sheet I had done for somebody (?), I thought I'd post it here just for further information if anyone is still struggling with the audio settings. I think what I've discovered is that my settings somehow get changed from time to time, maybe associated with updates from Zoom?
Zoom Cheat Sheet - asof 6/15/2020
Shut down all other apps and notifications
On smart device -
When beginning a meeting:
* select settings ( the 3 dots )- bottom RH corner
* select “Enable Original Sound” - Turn ON original Sound
For a desktop computer-
Computer should be as close to router as possible - direct connect with ethernet cable is best
When beginning a meeting:
* select “use computer audio”
* in top LH corner
- this is a toggle - Turn ON original Sound
- there is an arrow here where you can choose your microphone
To adjust audio settings:
in lower LH corner, there is an icon of a microphone
(you’ll see it when you mouse over the area)
* this is where you can mute or unmute your microphone (Shortcut:press and hold SPACE key to temporarily mute/unmute yourself)
* there is an arrow for additional audio settings
- make your selections for your microphone (sound input) and your speaker (sound output)
- you can also test your microphone and speaker from here
- for adjustments for higher quality sound, select “Audio settings”
< under microphone , uncheck “Automatically adjust microphone volume”
< select “Advanced”
- check the box “Show in-meeting option to “Enable Original Sound” from microphone
under “Audio Processing”
- Disable” Suppress Persistent Background Noise”
- Disable “Suppress Intermittent Background Noise”
- “Echo Cancellation” - either Auto or Aggressive seems to work depending on your individual setup
Your selections are automatically saved, but it’s a good idea to re-check them for each new meeting, and especially after updates have taken place.
