Zoom Tutorial: Audio and Video Setup

[@magicfella]

As you stated, I'm learning Zoom because I need to learn it. Battled my way through piles of Millennials who assumed I know things I don't know...and gleaned information. Then I saw an age-friendly face and started watching your tutorials. You're a gifted teacher and best of all: trying to follow what you say doesn't give me a headache. So thank you very much indeed!

[@dottotech]

Excellent! That's what DottoTech is here for.

[@stanrock01]

Your videos are one of the few that I watch completely through. They are engaging and just the right length, without a lot of introductory chaff. Nice work!

[@dottotech]

Wow, thank you!

[@russellsmith5364]

So refreshing to see somebody give useful advice that is not requiring a massive $$$ spend. This kind of realistic advice comes from someone ( Steve ) who obviously has extensive experience in the field. Thanks dude!

[@dottotech]

You are so welcome!

[@rayvezeau6668]

We're using an older laptop to teach live online yoga. We chose the laptop because we can link it to a secondary large screen TV via HDMI, which allows a decent view of the participants video to offer modifications on poses. The laptop also allows a side chat bar, without taking up too much screen. I like the idea of switching to a smart phone for quality, but I'm worried about losing the larger screens we now have. And thanks for all the info you provide. Been watching since your PBS days, lol.

[@claytonmelo]

The value you add to your audience is amazing, Steve. Thanks a lot!

[@dottotech]

I appreciate that!

[@sharonscott7665]

Using the phone for video conferencing is a super idea. My computer speakers have a humming noise which is annoying and I can't fix it. I tried it before I knew about this training and found it very useful at the same time. Thanks so much for your videos.

[@CreditFast]

Steve, when I need to learn something tech, I always find your videos helpful. I am just getting into learning how to use Zoom, and this has really helped me understand what I can use that I already have to produce professional-looking video calls. Thanks!

[@dottotech]

Glad to help!

[@patriciasomers7846]

Can you help me please

[@jimseiler3104]

Awesome Zoom info. We are working with our church members who are very low tech in there day to day operations. The laptop/webcam and smartphone tripod/earphones approach is a technique that we will be able to teach them.

[@gilbertayala1970]

Alright Mr. Dotto. Loved the way you show. Not just demonstrate, but show. I appreciate all my basic questions I had being answered. If it wasn't on this vid, it's being answered on another vid you've done. Thank you - Oh, forgot to mention I'm signing up for ZOOM now.

[@BibleStudyPastor]

Steve, very helpful tips for video conferencing, especially elevating the camera or using a tripod and holder for smartphone/tablet. I will be recommending this video to others as they move into using Zoom. Thank you.

[@dottotech]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ramilopez6921]

Really enjoyed the video will adding a label mic help my video sound better through by IPad or Android phone?

[@jennifernaatz-smith1664]

Thank you!!! Awesome presentation and very easy to understand. I'm the worship leader at my church and have been scrambling to do church differentl. We will be using Zoom for church leadership meetings and staff meetings, so this was very helpful. I telework for my job at a major health care provider in MN, but all of our meetings take place without video so I'm behind the game on using video etc. One positive of the covid19 is that I've been forced to get my butt into the world of recording videos as well as video conferencing I'm actually enjoying it and by the time this is over should have a pretty sweet home recording studio set up! Thanks again. This was very helpful.

[@domsiow]

Steve, huge fan of your work. Keep it up mate. Loved the distinction of using the phone for its superior audio and camera quality.

[@dottotech]

Thanks a ton Dominic!

[@CedHills]

Hi Steve, thanks for one of the most practical and useful videos I've watched recently. I've just come from my first Zoom meeting with 6 guests dotted all around the world. I'd never thought of using my phone or tablet as first choice. Thanks for the great tips.

[@dottotech]

Great to hear!

[@moniqueschroeder344]

Great idea using a tablet or smartphone Steve, I am going to give it a try

[@danielviolaisrael7386]

Steve, you sure put my mind at ease. wish you would do a video of how to use a zoom and cast it on tv and not lose the audio quality. Thanks for the great content.

[@dottotech]

Noted!

[@johnswolter]

Steve, good practical advice. I'm going to look to see your advice for 2021. I'm also setting up an engineering project with remote engineers and supporting technical tools.

[@SignorLuigi]

Awesome video, Steve!!! We are not allowed to use Zoom where I teach due to privacy and security concerns. I've been reading about a lot of red flags concerning Zoom in this area, from class action lawsuits that acuse Zoom of sharing user analytics with 3rd parties like Facebook to Zoom's privacy and security practices being under scrutiny by the Attorney General's office of the state of New York. Not trying to be a spoil sport! Just thought your users might want to pause for a second or two before jumping into the Zoom arena.

[@TheGeoDaddy]

Yup! I evolved in three days to keeping my laptop free by mounting my iPhone on the Osmo Gimbal on a tripod and attaching a Shur Mic on its own tripod. Also use lighting to tone down the background, making it less distracting (revealing)

[@pappinr]

Thanks for going through all the options for us. This has been very helpful. Stay home and stay Safe. Coming to you from Ontario!

[@dottotech]

Thank you! Will do!

[@michaelakins5033]

Steve, another excellent, timely video. Well done. Please consider an episode on how to use Podcaster Pro for mobile phone and video call interviews. This piece of gear is expensive at $600 here in the USA, but I’m planning to do lots more remote interviewing and bet I’m not the only one. Wishing you and your family and team all the best. Stay well!

[@rayc6685]

Nice sound, Steve! Very, very much appreciate your time in putting this together. I have used an elevated laptop, iphone, and an ipad pro in my quest to get the best overall setup for Zoom meetings. Here's my take: iPhone -- easy, but too small for video conferencing, because everyone is just too small, especially in Zoom gallery view. iPad Pro -- easy, better because of bigger screen, but the camera angle is not adjustable. Last night we had a Zoom 'dinner' and we had to put the iPad pro about 6 feet (1.8m) away to get the three of us in the shot, and then we found ourselves shouting to be sure our voice carried to the mic on the iPad, and at 6 feet away, the screen was a little too far away to easily see our dinner guests. I then started investigating putting an external mic on the ipad pro with only a usb-c port. Ugh! Lastly, I have used just a laptop with its built-in camera/mic, but with external speakers, and with the laptop on a cookbook stand on top of a stack of books to get the camera at forehead level. The laptop's camera viewing angle is wider, so we can have the laptop more than 1/2 the distance closer to us for the same dinner shot. But I know the mic is sort of crappy. Still looking for better sound, but I don't think my laptop can handle both external speakers and a mic. Also, would like to be able to control the camera viewing angle, but haven't found if that's possible. So, lots of material to cover. Again, thanks!

[@dottotech]

Great summary! Thanks Ray.

[@SixpenceInc]

New job, first-time having to experience using Zoom. Great advice. Thank you.

[@dottotech]

Glad it was helpful!😉

[@DrKeolaGADowningPhD]

Thank you so much for your video Steve. I have shared it with our entire group of fellowship members at our church and other folks who I wanted to help to understand zoom. Mahalo, Keola

[@artjohnson01]

I use a Logitech C920 for ZOOM calls, video only, and a Electrovoice RE320 mic into an audio interface for audio. It's hard for me to imagine using an iPhone with those crappy ear buds as a "vast improvement" when it comes to audio. There are lot's of inexpensive mics that could save the day. I know, I had a Blue Yeti back when I took a class from you, eons ago. P.S. I also use Webcam Settings ($7.99) to control my Logitech. Highly recommend.

[@dottotech]

Of course not! I was referring to a vast improvement over using a Notebook WebCam and built-in microphone,

[@LongTimeTTFan]

Very practical. And easy to do. Thanks a lot.

[@DavidPopowich]

Just the suggestion to elevate my laptop has helped. Thanks, Steve. I've never following you since the Dotto Data Cafe days and still enjoy your videos. Used to live in BC and have been in NB for many years now. 👌

[@dottotech]

Great to hear!

[@roanokejoe]

Love the video. Can you do a video using an external monitor and webcam setup? Thanks!

[@jonathandance7372]

Great presentation - any tips on troubleshooting eg grainy video?

[@gracesuarez3154]

That was super helpful! I was getting tired of guys with super expensive setups! I have everything I need. Thank you so much.

[@dottotech]

You're welcome!

[@optimaldietcoach1705]

Thank you Steve for the emphasis on camera angle! I can't tell you how many webinars I've attended where I'm looking up into the presenter's nose! Lol. So unprofessional. How can they not have a clue?! It astounds me.

[@dottotech]

I Know! Yikes!

[@johnschultz9222]

I've been working from home for a few years with the occasional video call a couple times a week, but I have no idea why I never thought to raise up my laptop as you showed in your video. Great idea!

[@dottotech]

There you go John, one of the problems when we do the same task over and over again is we really don’t look at it with fresh eyes trying to figure out how to do things better, most people never think to change the camera angle. But now you know and you are going to look fabulous from here on out!

[@swissgator6312]

Hi Steve, there's a lot of coverage about the security issues of Zoom. Could you cover those issues and some solutions in an upcoming video? Thanks for the great content!

[@YinkaFeddenBOLDLinks]

Thank you, Steve! I am a fairly recent subscriber and I find your videos so useful. See you on the next one!

[@taylormedia1000]

Sorry it’s taken me two years to find your KZbin channel, but I’m glad I landed on this one. Having worked as a television broadcast sound engineer for twenty-seven years, I often said that people would forgive a lot when it came to video quality, e.g. colour temperature and focus ... but tune out if they can’t hear you. Why’d he say? What’s that noise in the background? Is that his dog? Can he hear me? Why is there an audio delay? Why is the sound so muffled?

[@Johembah]

dottotech, Steve - Great intro in making a more pleasant conversation better!!! Had my initial conference attempting to show how to get into Zoom. HELP with STEPS TO initiate a ZOOM conference including which APP to select and steps to get AUdio & VIdeo ...REALLY HELPED THE USER IF NOT A BEGINNER!!!

[@dottotech]

Fantastic!

[@BLOOMERcoach]

You are so much fun and also able to simplify things! Question: if I use my iPhone for holding a Zoom workshop, and simultaneously sign into my laptop to increase screen space... can I sign in as a Host from both devices at the same time? The purpose is to increase the screen space so that I could devote it totally to the presentation ..thanks

[@susanmiller9954]

I appreciate your videos, you are a great role model for how to get the most out of Zoom. I have two questions: 1) Bandwidth: Is there anything I can or should do to compensate, different hours? a booster? (there's nothing else streaming in the house). 2) File Size: I have a Zoom Pro account. I've written children's stories and narrate them for my little relatives to watch at their leisure. During narration, I screen share using Photos on Mac Book Pro, from an album of 70 to 100 photo slides, each slide is 3 to 4 MB. Is there a way to decrease file size before or during the screen share to minimize the amount of Cloud storage?

[@pamelastewart1274]

Excellent video. Love your voice and you make it clear that audio so important, could listen to you all day : ) Do you have advice on how to use zoom audio for an instructor who uses a microphone for speaking and also plays spotify music and then speaks over that? This is important for all kinds of meditation/fitness instructors using zoom.

[@dottotech]

Thanks Pamela. check in the screen shine options. there is music sharing there

[@hiroyan2023]

A comparative explanation encouraged me to use smartphone etc, thanks.

[@onsenguy]

Very informative video. There's one solution that you left out.. using a desktop speakerphone with built-in mic. There are many of these available on Amazon for example, and a good one is around $100.

[@hawkr5]

Steve, show us in your videos where you plug things in, like your mic, your camera, how you use your mixer and how it ties into zoom, the cables you use and input and output locations

[@haututumaori]

Thanks from New Zealand Steve, nice tutorial. Going to share this with some of my colleagues who I've Zooming with lately ;-)

[@dottotech]

Please do!

[@charlottelees-peyer4605]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@myyoutubehandle-rr]

Thanks so much. Great video. I’m using Zoom with my mobile. Was considering getting a separate webcam but will start using my iPad with airpods.

[@AmayaWiseWoman]

Wow. This is so useful! I love your easy delivery. I teach dance classes and so I was fascinated with the mixer + mic set up for a higher quality audio video mix. Will try using my iPhone though for regular zoom meetings.

[@dottotech]

Excellent! Glad this was helpful.

[@lgovantes1]

Great tutorial. I wonder if you have addressed the topic of feedback and use of conferencing for performers and music teachers. I would love know what your thoughts are for that. I have a mixer setup with USB interface to computer, but I find I get feedback disturbing the music quality and performance. I have in-ear monitors that attach to the mixer, but I still get feedback. I use Zoom and Skype and even Google hangouts. Each has optimal settings for this that are described in other videos I have seen, but maybe you have a video that includes all these scenarios. Please let me know,. Thanks!

[@filmontesfai607]

Elevating the anglehelped me a lot. Thanks!

[@dottotech]

Glad it helped!

[@richardchew5760]

Thank you steve, your tutorials are clear and to the point.

[@MikeFrancisSST]

I'm using my computer, but I had a really cheap webcam that made me look like something from the Black Lagoon. I switched to using an old phone for my camera and it looks much much better. I have a head set with a mic that ends up right by my mouth so sound quality is pretty good. I've also been using the Zoom background trick to disguise the fact that my office is in my cellar and does not look good. It's a little flacky at times, but looks much better with a backgound I uploaded that relates to my business.

[@dottotech]

Sounds like you’re putting together a pretty good system! You really don’t need super fancy gear to do a good job in Zoom.

[@eleonoraformatoneeszczepan8807]

I like that ... 'like something from the Black Lagoon' .... lol.

[@SteveW60ish]

A very topical subject with excellent timing - thanks Steve -as usual, you rock!!

[@dottotech]

Thanks again!

[@abovebeyond7791]

I was hoping you would show the usb mic / headset setup...the sound is low in my headphones. I also have the Rodecaster Pro so I would have enjoyed seeing how you set it up for the call.

[@dottotech]

We'll consider that next time.

[@Scaw]

An excellent presentation. As you say, I suspect that many people will turn to using video conferencing in future. No doubt your contributions will be a great source of knowledge to them when they do.

[@swworrellsr2]

Great presentation Steve. Very informative. Thank you for presenting!

[@maureenwade59]

Hello, Firstly, I like to say thank you for these videos. I'm new to Zoom using it to conduct my 1:1 tuition sessions and have found them extremely useful. I wondered if you could help me with a problem I have. I have scheduled meetings with my tutees and have had no problems with audio. However, I have one tutee whom I cannot hear. My screen doesn't indicate that I am receiving audio from her. She is not muted either by me or at her end. The visual is good. She has been working on other platforms and has no problem with her microphone on them. The only difference I can see with this tutee is that she plugs earphones in for our sessions. Have you got any clues?

[@PNUKtraining]

Great tips as always Steve thanks.

[@MC-ij6qe]

Thanks Steve. Very timely and very helpful

[@elsplace896]

For a webcam, do I click on bottom left microphone or not once in a Zoom meeting? My webcam has built in microphone. Thank you. Great video.

[@gsau3000]

Thanks for this video Steve. I was having trouble with the mic quality of my relatively cheap USB PC camera but your suggestion to use the smart phone gave me a good idea. I can install Zoom on the phone and using Samsung DEX, I can mirror my phone on my PC and expand the screen so I get PC control with smartphone AV input. Cheers.

[@iangmarshall]

Greetings from France folks have said it all in the posts below, many many thanks Steve for your presence on the www, your insight into tech matters and yor talent as a presenter. Not to mention what you've achieved as entrepreneur as we discover the list of your activities & links. I need to use ZOOM to give a class to my fellow choristers. - I need to be filmed on videocamera as I'm doing my instruction (stream the instruction) - and keep monitoring the meeting via ZOOM on my PC since I've been told I can use a smphone or tablet - on a tripod - to get myself filmed via ZOOM while running ZOOM on my laptop (by my side) for monitoring purposes. I haven't totally succeeded as yet. I get a huge Larsen - sound interference - affecting the streaming. Have you done / can you do a video tuto on this subject To resume after all these words, the essence of my query would be, " How to film yourself and stream the video while running a ZOOM meeting " Anticipating a quick response with gratitude so I can get do my class up & running asap

[@SwearMY]

This is what I'm looking for. I don't want to be a KZbinr, or invest over a thousand dollars, just want to have good clear audio and decent video.

[@silvamayflower]

Thanks for this, Steve. I have been watching your videos since the beginning of lockdown, and they've helped me climb a very steep learning curve. My organisation like many many others is using Zoom instead of f2f teaching, and from a beginner 3 months ago I am now teaching students and fellow tutors how to use the prog (scary...). However, one problem has been how to help so many ipad students when I don't actually own an ipad. I know we recommend our tutors to use a laptop because we recommend Closed Captions and Polls - don't think these are available on mobiles. But this video has helped enormously with the ipad situation, now I can see the screen in action! A couple of points: as I mentioned above, I know that not every feature is available on mobiles; secondly, do android screens (ie tablet and phones) differ much from the ipad screen? and 3, what about the amazon fire tablet? I have used all three - android phone, tablet and fire tablet, but I may still be missing a point and so I'm still not calling myself an expert.

[@johntaylor1668]

Another great video, Steve. Many thanks. Great idea about using tablets and phones. I can now bring an old iPad out of mothballs and put it to valuable use.

[@dottotech]

That's a great idea!

[@dottotech]

[@mistergeorgie]

Thank you, Mr Dotto. Great video. Simple, clear, intelligent, authoritative presentation style. A question. I’m currently using a Plantronics Legend headset. It’s Bluetooth, it integrates well with my laptop, Manycam and Zoom. However, the sound of the mic isn’t good enough, really. So I’m trying up upgrade the audio. I have a condenser mic which will run through an audio interface (PreSonus AudioBox iOne) into the laptop via USB. But what do I do for listening? Do I use laptop speakers? A Bluetooth speaker? If so, what about feedback? If I use headphones, will I need to buy a Bluetooth set for listening only? Or maybe a wireless monitoring earpiece... as singers use? (I don’t want big headphones, just a discreet earpiece for my right ear.... but my earpieces are for phones.. so they have both microphone and headphone connections to Bluetooth. Will that interfere with the USB mic connection? Or will the Zoom dashboard allow me to control audio input and output separately?) Finally, I am thinking I might like to use Rode Wireless Go (with a USB dongle and a Rode Lavalier mic... which I already possess). I realise that the options might be overkill for Zoom, since Zoom compresses the audio heavily. (But I have other uses for the tech besides Zoom). In any event, the current Plantronics set up is not really good enough. Hope you can maybe advise briefly? I realise your time is valuable. Love the high standard of this presentation on Zoom. Liked and subscribed.

[@KarenLBarr]

Hi Steve, I love your videos and how well you explain the options. I am wondering about using my phone for the video and screen sharing from my computer. Is this a possibility or do I need to connect my phone somehow to my computer? Thanks for all your helpful tips! ~Karen

You would best be using Zoom on a laptop. Smartphone is okay for short meetings. But to teach, I'd rather have the convenience of laptop or PC.

Hey Steve , Wish me luck I am not very computer savvy and I tried to meat with someone on zoom but I think we were maybe making it too complicated with phone and computer so I think I will try with just the phone this time . Thanks Rick .

[@the_quiet_eye]

Thanks so much for this! I remember watching your show years ago. You are an excellent teacher and presenter. I am now set up teaching my long term art students on Zoom, using my iPad and earphones. We are all enjoying it. I especially like the screen sharing feature on Zoom that allows me to share visual content. Do you have any tips or videos that deal with videotaping live painting? I’m having a hard time getting the iPad into a position that can be seen clearly - it’s on a tripod. Thanks again! Superior instruction.

[@dottotech]

Thanks Lori. Setting up for live painting is going to take some trial and error, I know even TV studios struggle with it. Single sourcing your feed (say from your iPad) is going to be difficult, but if you think about setting up a more elaborite setup, you could use a computer, several good webcams and a switching app like Ecamm Live to create a Virtual Camera, which si a dedicated video feed for Zoom that allows you to switch sources. It would take some effort, but it would be worthwhile.

[@the_quiet_eye]

dottotech Thanks so much. I will look into all that. You rock!

[@byrnesrus]

I love the idea of using my smart phone or my tablet for Zoom meetings, however, I find the screen on those devices are way to small for me to share different data like Power Point, etc. For this, I prefer my large auxilliary Monitor plugged into my laptop and using the same Logi Webcam you have. I think using the smart phone / tablet for Zoom would just be for conferencing. Maybe I am wrong.

Hi Steve thanks for your videos i always find them very informative. I am using a Logitech camera and the speaker that is with that and i am finding that my audio is choppy for my conferencing. I was wondering if the other users in my household are eating up the bandwidth which is why my audio is choppy. I have family upstairs watching Netflix and another playing games on Xbox. just wondering as i would love to have great audio again.

[@dottotech]

Are you talking about your outgoing audio which could well be relating to the Logitech microphone, or the incoming audio that’s coming through your speakers, if it’s incoming it could well be the bandwidth. Outgoing it could be the distance you are from the microphone the room noise or also band with

Thank you, Steve. I’m taking my OSHA, HIPAA/healthcare consulting services virtual. Using a MacBook Pro, Samson Q2u microphone so far.

For me, the audio sounded better from the Logitech C920 than from your high end sound system. Perhaps because I detect slight harmonics which, to me, seem to improve the sound.

I think I'll do the intro on my phone but I will have to talk while showing slides for most of the course so I guess I'll see If I can mess around with the mic controls in zoom and maybe see if this webcam has a speaker like you suggested.
