Zoom Tips

Joining as Speaker

  • Please take time to check your computer before joining to make sure you are not displaying any confidential information on screen.
  • Use an earphone or headphone with a microphone for the duration of the presentation to avoid audio feedback.
  • Test your microphone level to make sure it is working and at the right volume.
  • If using a laptop, please plug it into a power source.
  • If a wired network is not available, make sure to do the Zoom call from an area with a strong Wi-Fi signal.
  • If joining from a shared network at home, anyone streaming videos on the same network could affect the quality of Zoom audio and video. It’s best to keep all other network traffic to a minimum so the Zoom stream can work as best as possible.
  • Select an area with enough front lighting.
  • If you have slides or a demo from your computer, please use the Zoom share button to let everyone see your slides or screen.
  • Please close other applications that may pop-up or trigger audio alerts during the presentation.
