I suppose these won’t work with an iPad 😕

Hi Awall! Fantastic video. Thanks. But regarding the 'Turn on original sound': It doesn't work as desired depending on few factors like type of mic (phone,laptop,webcam,standalone) used; noise in the background; and what you want the mic to catch. For people who don't have a silent room, turning on the original audio sends all the sound data in the room including sounds like fan noise, pets sounds, other people talking nearby, any construction nearby, and all this is pretty much amplified. So for such room conditions turning original sound OFF will send better and filtered human voice audio. However, if you are playing any sounds like playing guitar, piano, etc which the mic has to pick up acoustically, then it's sometimes better to turn ON original sound to let the mic pick up all the sounds of the room that'll include the instrument's sound also. Summary: in noisy environment turn OFF original sound, to send better human audio. In sound proof room, or to send other audio like that of an acoustic instrument or other player, turn original sound ON. I've been teaching music for years to students worldwide, and based on the requirement of the class, I ask my students to switch it on or off as required for that moment. It works well.

I've used Zoom for a couple years now and have never had a problem with 'original sound' mainly because I am the one hosting a Zoom call. Guests can't seem to be able to use that feature.

Thanks for making this content. There is a lot of misleading info here though.. -The rule of thumb to remember is bandwidth and how a far-end user is viewing or hearing your content. -The original audio option is great for musical performance but adding the extra data to a single microphone is often unnoticed. Getting a decent headset or lapel mic it all that is needed for a zoom meeting -The shared content from second camera will give you a higher resolution but it will also force everyone to look at your face full screen given you have the ability to share content in the meeting. Also remember the resolution being sent depends on how the far-end user is viewing you. If they are in Gallary mode zoom is going to compress the video and dido if their bandwidth is low. -Setting your bit rate higher is another option that will most likely go unnoticed. Again zoom will just compress the audio depending on bandwidth and processing on the far-ed user. -Gear does matter a little but not alot. I have the Logitech brio and sure it looks cool but the max resolution for zoom is 720p (and I believe is the highest of the UC platforms correct me if I am wrong). Getting a 1080p camera will be enough even though zoom will just compress it, technology is always growing so who knows when 1080 will be the standard for video conferencing. I would also consider getting a better microphone if you are using something with very poor quality. I consider the iPhone headphones microphone as a base quality that is good enough and is close to you mouth to block enough sound for noise reduction to work well. Obviously getting a nice microphone with an interface is nice but remember the bitrate is only as good as the internet its traveling over.

This is is super helpful Time stamps for the features. 1. 0:25 'Turn On Original Sound' Audio Feature (Stereo Mode) 2. 5:25 Full HD Video 3. 6:45 Disable Original ratio 4. 7:11 Disable Touch up my appearance 5. 7:45 Disable Adjust for low light 6. 8:30 Advanced Content Sharing 7. 12:30 Enhance Microphone Quality

I love how you use those graphic arrows to point to the program functions! It's brilliant for focusing the audience eyes on the location of what you're talking about. Briliant tutorial technique!

Thanks. It started off a little like a TV Infomercial, but you had legitimate "tricks" that are not obvious to users even if they are familiar with Zoom configuration. Well done.

I just wanted to say thank you, Awall, ... I've watched this video about 4 times over the past couple of months to let it sink in and finally today, I got all of my settings done. You are a good teacher and fun to listen to as well. I'm hoping your cold is non-existent by now ... over a year later, but I do appreciate you suffering through this tutorial like a trouper. Bless your heart. Have a lovely day!

Thank you, Awall! I've been zooming as participant and will be hosting a zoom uke concert in 2 weeks. I will be watching this again. Knew about audio quality but not full HD streaming. Will be experimenting with my PC and iPad (hosting from iPad). This is the third Zoom video I've watched, and it's the most helpful!

Thank you, Awall! Your Zoom secret features turn my production to be professional right away. Really a quick win 👍👍👍

Incredible video, and best zoom training to date. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for that AUDIO tip!! You're the greatest!!!!!!! THANK YOU!

Great job! Thank you for your clarity and humor. What is your take on the new tiny cameras that you suspend over the middle of your screen allowing you to make eye contact with the people you are communicating with? This also allows you to use your monitor as a teleprompter.

WOW what a difference! My ZOOM team mates have noticed the difference in audio and video! Great Job! This is the best Pod Cast tutorial link in You Tube! Thank You, Thank You!

This is probably the first videos (at very least one of the very few) that share "secrets" or "things you didn't know", that I actually didn't know. Thanks for the dive into these features, especially the Windows sound control.

Excellent content! Well done! As a professional voice talent I recognise amazing voice production and yours was beautifully done. Nice work and thanks for the amazing ZOOM tips. I will implement them immediately.

Thank you so much Awall for sharing, luv it

Amazing!!!!! Thank you so much for this!!! I’m not techy and your step by step is so super simple and what a difference!!!

Brilliant and so professionally done. Thank you 👍🏻🇬🇧

Thanks, love the 2nd camera tip :) When I tried turning on 'original sound' the person listening could hear a buzz noise that Zoom had been cancelling so the sound was actually worse. Maybe if I had all the other gear you suggest it would be different. I know the Brio has a battery & I see presenters cutting out when that runs out & sometimes it gets hot & need to pause & cool down. But going to check out the Avia Meda PW 513, thanks. :)

Thank you SO much!! Awall, you’re such a genuinely lovely person and it shows in this video. Love your humour too! Sadly, I’ve just found you, so I missed the contest...BUT I’ve subscribed.

Thank you for your excellent video - I am a private music teacher and have been doing zoom lessons for the past 6 1/2 years for special issues - then covid came along and everything was taught over zoom so I was glad I was already using it. I don't have the most expensive equipment but I do well. I have already been using Original Sound but I did not know about the secret video setting. Thank you.

Great video! An important note regarding sharing the "document camera" feature. When you use share, you force ZOOM to send 1080 resolution but at variable frame rates depending on each recipient's bandwidth signal back to ZOOM . From our university testing, video as viewed on the presenter screen is full motion. However, the participants will receive 1080 at variable frame rate. Better image quality @ 1080 but not full 30 frames. The participants very likely will experience this "screen share" with a jittery image (not full motion) much like the old Max Headroom effect.

Thank you so much for these great tips. Can you use the share second camera option if we are also using the Black Magic Box with a pro canon camera? We record our classes with a canon camera and also use zoom to stream and record. And we also share our screen for power points. This seems complicated. But if we had our presenters use their mobile device as a way to share their screen as a cohost, then could we still use the share second camera option to up the video quality?

Best tutorial ever, thank you! Kept me engaged throughout, very well explained, thank you!

Thank you! I’ve got a new Mac with an amazing camera and sound and yet, i was having problems. This explains everything. uh…..Thank you! Lol

yeah, ok: 1. "Original Audio" is great...for a studio quality microphone and recording space with no background noises. Most people on zoom have laptops and their bedrooms or even living rooms. This function is really only useful for music creators. But click it "on" if you want everyone to listen to your laptop fan. 2. "Second Camera Video" trick is cool, but 90% of the time I need the "Share Screen" feature to actually, you know, share my screen 3. Higher quality recording (the setting in Windows) will do exactly squat for you (again, unless in a studio). 4. Unchecking "Exclusive" allows more than one piece of software to "use" your microphone at once (sometimes useful, sometimes to be avoided), has little to do with Zoom "controlling" your hardware

thank you so much! Really appreciated .

Good Video here, just something to point out, while the stream to 2nd camera option is a good idea for a single presenter as you can use OBS to focus on the content to the local system, it's not an ideal situation if you have multiple presenters on the call. Within the zoom online settings (through the zoom portal) there is an option to enable 1080P or 720P, also making changes to windows audio settings, not really a secret zoom menu, more like system default settings.

Thank you for the plaster for my cut!!! Seriously, I see improvements straight away. Really grateful!

My question is, does zoom see your 1080p shared screen as 1080p when it comes to Zoom recording? They have a internal system setting that downgrades video recording quality if just one person on the call is NOT 1080p. I record 1080 with OBS, but like having the zoom files as backups.

Hi Awall, thank you for the informative video. Can you go over how to stop the shared screen option from hijacking the spotlight from other participants, and how to go directly to a specific camera instead of toggling through many inactive cameras while live with other participants?

I believe you do this through the Spotlight feature as the host when you are starting the Zoom session. The host should set their screen as Spotlight, that way when a participant chimes in, the focus is still on the spotlighted screen, i.e. the host's screen.

🙏🏻Huge bunch of thanks for sharing this great tutorial and recommendation. Cheers✌🏻

I don’t know where these audio secret settings are on a Mac. But I love this video anyway and have subscribed to your channel

Good tips. However, the "Share Screen" seems like it would only work if you were the presenter and wanted to to show only your cam. Also, it seems to me that if you use this tip, you become the quasi "spotlighted" video so other participants would only see you--not the other participants in focused and/or gallery view. Are these assumptions correct?

Awall, I just found this/your podcast on how to improve my Zoom calls. All I can say is "WOW!" Thank you so much. I work on a Mac, but was able to transfer much of what you offered in Window to my Mac controls.

All of your audio tricks are great and I have used most of them but the second camera feature I have only used when sending a switcher into the system because I'm the person driving all of the content being shown in the meeting/webinar, but, giving this out as a tip just to increase your camera quality is not conducive to panels, QnA or gallery view meeting sessions due to the screen share aspect. You are now hogging the screen share and if anyone else needs to share PowerPoint or a video, it will kick out of your screen share. Also, you will be the only one being shown. I have done very few meetings/webinars where this would be very advantageous. I think your tips for audio are great and really do up the quality beyond belief, the video aspect, to me is only useful in a podcast or single presenter meeting, I would modify your title a bit so that someone that attendance a weekly company meeting as an attendee or a small business get together doesn't use that in the wrong environment. Your video is still great I just was pointing this out for people to understand when the video aspect would be properly used.

Audio thing I have mostly set anyway but missed a couple of details...thanks for that and will set it all right.
