Top Q&A Questions:
- Which air pods are you using? How do they become the mic?
Brian: Alka is using the Air Pod Pros. There’s a microphone that’s integrated on one side. In Zoom, you can choose the microphone you want to use (look in the audio settings).
Learn more from our Meetup Live event Learn Zoom from a Pro.
- Are there any other video softwares that you would recommend?
Brian: In addition to Zoom, some of the other mainstream platforms are Google Meet or Skype. It depends on the size of the class and participants you want to have, but we found Zoom to be easiest. A lot of people just do streaming, but we like the interactive conference call style. Read more here.
- How often do you do Yoga classes? And how can we get more?
Alka: You can go to my website and find my virtual schedule. You can also find my Youtube channel with recordings.
Brian: Most importantly, we are also co-organizers of the Greater NY Yoga and Meditation for all ages Meetup group. We are hosting most of Alka’s classes there.
