Zoom-Live Classroom Audio and Microphone Recommendations

• If students are having trouble hearing your presentation, it is advisable to use the lavalier microphone

• If students are still having trouble hearing increase the microphone sensitivity on the Extron touch screen

• If you or the students are experiencing audio feedback:

  • Make sure the students in the classroom have their laptop microphone and speaker volume muted

  • If the students in the classroom need to address the class, it is not advisable for the student to unmute their laptop microphone and speakers at any time, due to the issue of feedback from the student's device and the sound system in the room

  • To address the class, use an alternative method either by restating what was said or using the chat function in Zoom

Alternatively, everyone (students and instructor) in the classroom can use their own Bluetooth enabled headset and microphone to reduce feedback. Everyone in the classroom must have their computer audio playing through a headset for this to work
