Sound settings

Start by checking your sound. A USB headset is highly recommended.
1. Click the arrow next to the Microphone icon.
2. Be sure to choose the device you want to use as a microphone.
3. Choose the same device under speaker (this will eliminate echo).

If you are unsure wether you have picked the right device, click Test Speaker and Microphone...

The buttons inside Zoom

Please note: There is a difference in which buttons are shown depending on if you're a host or a participant. As a student you can be the host of your own online meeting and collaborate with fellow students. To do this, login at: hkr-se.zoom.us

1. Mute - click to turn your microphone on or off.
2. Stop Video - click to turn your webcamera on or off (choose webcam by clicking the arrow to the right of the webcam icon)
3. Invite - click to get the URL for the meeting in order to invite other participants. Clicking the Copy URL button will copy this Zoom meeting URL to the clipboard.

5. Share - you and other participants can share their screen in order to show i.e. a file or a document from the computer.
