Use a quality headset, or microphone.
Avoid speaker phones, which can cause voice fluctuation and background noise.
Engaging your audience
Do a "dry run" with the same computer/audio equipment and internet connection you will use on the day of your class.
Ensure adequate time to troubleshoot equipment. For instance: Make sure your audio and video settings are correct for your camera and microphone.
Keep a timer and put time markers in your lesson plan to keep you on track.
Activities may take more (or less) time than they would in a face-to-face class. Perhaps have materials, or discussions you can include or drop depending on how the class is going.
Do a dry run at least 48 hours before the live event.
Open your meeting room 10-15 minutes before start time. Participants like to know if they have accessed the Zoom session correctly.
Record your session in case anyone has technical problems, or for later review. You can choose later whether or not to post
...
or share the session.
Click record … recordings are saved when you leave or end the meeting.
