(e.g. Plantronics, Logitech, Sennheiser, etc.)<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Do I need to use a webcam?<ul><li>You can use the built-in webcam on your laptop, just be conscientious about the placement. You really want the camera to be at eye level.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Do I have to invite participants through a calendar invitation?<ul><li>Nope, not at all. You can go ahead and copy the invitation and paste it into an email (and include it on your Meetup event).<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>How can we reduce the delay if we want to play music together?<ul><li>That one is a little harder because no matter what, there\u2019s always going to be an inherent network latency. <br>If you\u2019re just playing solo, one recommendation is to enable \u201coriginal sound\u201d so that it removes Zoom\u2019s signal processing (it won\u2019t do the noise or echo cancellation). That will help with some of the music playback.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top Q&amp;A Questions (answered by Zoom)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>During the session, we received over 1,000 Q&amp;A questions submitted from our participants! Here\u2019s a highlight from the Q&amp;A section:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>How do you get music to play so well? Are you just playing it through a good microphone?<ul><li>No microphone needed. You can share \u201caudio only\u201d when sharing content with the \u201cshare screen\u201d button. Once you hit \u201cshare screen,\u201d you will just need to hit the \u201cshare audio only\u201d option.

Do I message a password as people RSVP?<ul><li>The best thing you can do is not share your ID publically on social media, and to use a password and waiting room to ensure only authorized attendees can enter.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>How do I allow a participant on a zoom call to screen share? <ul><li>If you are on the latest version of <a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\/docs\/en-us\/zoom-v5-0.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Zoom (5.0)<\/a>, there is a security tab and you can click that tab and dictate if participants can share or not.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Why are our meetings being timed out when using Pro?<ul><li>Meetings are only timed out when you have a basic license. Please ensure that you\u2019re using the account with the paid license.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\"><p>Get a complete overview of how to use Zoom from Senior Technical Trainer Vincent E.
