ZOOM HELP !?!
First, you don't NEED to download Zoom software to watch a KFF Virtual Campfire, BUT if you choose to set up a FREE Zoom account, your participation experience will be greatly enhanced by a variety of features. More info below.
Want good sound when you play a virtual campfire? Follow these steps:
-
Use a powerful internet connection!
-
Use a FREE Zoom Account (if you bypass the Zoom application and join by browser, your sound will NOT be okay)!
-
Enable Original Sound in your Zoom Meeting settings -click the link above with the big red arrows (you have to do this BEFORE you join if using a Tablet or Smartphone)!
-
When joining the campfire TURN ON Original Sound!
-
Using a Laptop or Desktop will give you additional audio setting options that will further improve your sound, we highly recommend it!
-
A little lighting goes a long way, we want to see you while you perform!
-
Please mute and unmute yourself accordingly. Mute when someone else is playing, and unmute yourself when it’s your turn.
-
Please read our Audio Settings Guide above provided by Arlington Open Mics.
