• Zoom -- Hosting a Drexel Zoom Meeting

Echo Occurring?

• Everyone in the same physical room as the host user should *mute their computer microphones and computer speaker volume.*
• The host user is the exception. The host user should NOT mute their computer microphone and computer speakers UNLESS the host use is using a phone or speakerphone for audio.
  • If the host user is using a phone or speakerphone for audio, then the host indeed should mute their computer microphone and computer speakers.

Screen Freeze or Lag? Delayed Audio?

1. Have all participants mute their audio and/or shut down their video when they are not using it.

2. All participants should close any open applications or browser tabs or windows they are not using during the meeting.

   1. Closing non-essential apps in the lower right (System Tray) in Windows or upper right (Menu Bar) in Mac could help as well.
