As someone in the industry, half of the stuff he's talking about makes absolutely no sense, that's why people are hating. He's just trying to make $$$

thank you
Thanks!!
I suppose these won’t work with an iPad 😕
I love how you use those graphic arrows to point to the program functions! It's brilliant for focusing the audience eyes on the location of what you're talking about. Briliant tutorial technique!
I just wanted to say thank you, Awall, ... I've watched this video about 4 times over the past couple of months to let it sink in and finally today, I got all of my settings done. You are a good teacher and fun to listen to as well. I'm hoping your cold is non-existent by now ... over a year later, but I do appreciate you suffering through this tutorial like a trouper. Bless your heart. Have a lovely day!
Hi Awall! Fantastic video. Thanks.
But regarding the 'Turn on original sound': It doesn't work as desired depending on few factors like type of mic (phone,laptop,webcam,standalone) used; noise in the background; and what you want the mic to catch. For people who don't have a silent room, turning on the original audio sends all the sound data in the room including sounds like fan noise, pets sounds, other people talking nearby, any construction nearby, and all this is pretty much amplified. So for such room conditions turning original sound OFF will send better and filtered human voice audio. However, if you are playing any sounds like playing guitar, piano, etc which the mic has to pick up acoustically, then it's sometimes better to turn ON original sound to let the mic pick up all the sounds of the room that'll include the instrument's sound also. Summary: in noisy environment turn OFF original sound, to send better human audio. In sound proof room, or to send other audio like that of an acoustic instrument or other player, turn original sound ON.
I've been teaching music for years to students worldwide, and based on the requirement of the class, I ask my students to switch it on or off as required for that moment. It works well.
This is good to know. Thank you!
@@rcc3574 You're very welcome. 😊
Thank you!! It is better with original sound off. I appreciate your help so much.
I've used Zoom for a couple years now and have never had a problem with 'original sound' mainly because I am the one hosting a Zoom call. Guests can't seem to be able to use that feature.
Thanks. It started off a little like a TV Infomercial, but you had legitimate "tricks" that are not obvious to users even if they are familiar with Zoom configuration. Well done.
Thanks for making this content. There is a lot of misleading info here though..
-The rule of thumb to remember is bandwidth and how a far-end user is viewing or hearing your content.
-The original audio option is great for musical performance but adding the extra data to a single microphone is often unnoticed. Getting a decent headset or lapel mic it all that is needed for a zoom meeting
-The shared content from second camera will give you a higher resolution but it will also force everyone to look at your face full screen given you have the ability to share content in the meeting. Also remember the resolution being sent depends on how the far-end user is viewing you. If they are in Gallary mode zoom is going to compress the video and dido if their bandwidth is low.
-Setting your bit rate higher is another option that will most likely go unnoticed. Again zoom will just compress the audio depending on bandwidth and processing on the far-ed user.
-Gear does matter a little but not alot. I have the Logitech brio and sure it looks cool but the max resolution for zoom is 720p (and I believe is the highest of the UC platforms correct me if I am wrong). Getting a 1080p camera will be enough even though zoom will just compress it, technology is always growing so who knows when 1080 will be the standard for video conferencing. I would also consider getting a better microphone if you are using something with very poor quality. I consider the iPhone headphones microphone as a base quality that is good enough and is close to you mouth to block enough sound for noise reduction to work well. Obviously getting a nice microphone with an interface is nice but remember the bitrate is only as good as the internet its traveling over.
Thank you, Awall! Your Zoom secret features turn my production to be professional right away. Really a quick win 👍👍👍

Incredible video, and best zoom training to date. Thank you so much!
Thank you, Awall! I've been zooming as participant and will be hosting a zoom uke concert in 2 weeks. I will be watching this again. Knew about audio quality but not full HD streaming. Will be experimenting with my PC and iPad (hosting from iPad). This is the third Zoom video I've watched, and it's the most helpful!
WOW what a difference! My ZOOM team mates have noticed the difference in audio and video! Great Job! This is the best Pod Cast tutorial link in You Tube! Thank You, Thank You!
I almost selfishly don't want more people to find this :) . Amazing work and value, thank you brother.
Great tutorial! Big thanks. I didn’t get everything from the first view but I will watch as many times as necessary. Be blessed for your generosity 🙏🏽😊
Thank you so much Awall. OMG this was awesome information. You just helped me with something very important for a project I am doing online. Love your delivery. Subscribed, liked, favourited, shared, appreciated!
Brilliant! Thank you for taking the time to share in such an informative and easy to understand video. Well done!
WOW! I am a virtual teacher and I am blown away by these tips! I wish I had known about this 2 years ago! Thank you! So clear and understandable. Love it!
Excellent content! Well done! As a professional voice talent I recognise amazing voice production and yours was beautifully done. Nice work and thanks for the amazing ZOOM tips. I will implement them immediately.
This is probably the first videos (at very least one of the very few) that share "secrets" or "things you didn't know", that I actually didn't know.
Thanks for the dive into these features, especially the Windows sound control.
Thank you so much for that AUDIO tip!! You're the greatest!!!!!!! THANK YOU!
Brilliant and so professionally done. Thank you 👍🏻🇬🇧
Great job! Thank you for your clarity and humor. What is your take on the new tiny cameras that you suspend over the middle of your screen allowing you to make eye contact with the people you are communicating with? This also allows you to use your monitor as a teleprompter.
You are the MAN!! You make it so simple for newbies to follow your instruction. I truly enjoyed learning from you and want to follow your page.
Amazing!!!!! Thank you so much for this!!! I’m not techy and your step by step is so super simple and what a difference!!!
YOU are a freaking genius, Awall! I cannot thank you enough for providing this tutorial. Your presentation was clear, concise and very understandable for someone just starting out.
Thanks, love the 2nd camera tip :) When I tried turning on 'original sound' the person listening could hear a buzz noise that Zoom had been cancelling so the sound was actually worse. Maybe if I had all the other gear you suggest it would be different.
I know the Brio has a battery & I see presenters cutting out when that runs out & sometimes it gets hot & need to pause & cool down.
But going to check out the Avia Meda PW 513, thanks.
:)
your video is so helpful and is a very smooth video to watch actually! Thanks for making it fun and simple!
wow.. thank you for the nice tips... specially for the 2nd camera option for the 1080p option and audio quality enhancements... You saved my day...
I love the repeated use of arrows to point out where we need to be looking! It's actually really effective! :)
Great content. I was captivated through the whole video. I love your presentation style, your graphics, your ease in delivery and, of course, your knowledge. And I learned some valuable stuff about Zoom that I will use now! Thanks.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you SO much!! Awall, you’re such a genuinely lovely person and it shows in this video. Love your humour too! Sadly, I’ve just found you, so I missed the contest...BUT I’ve subscribed.
Thank you so much Awall for sharing, luv it
YOU my friend, are a genius 👍🏽
No, really.
Thanks for all those tips and for explaining them ever so clearly and eloquently with humor 😂
This is one of the best video teaching tools I have ever participated in regards to all this technical stuff. This novice feels a bit smarter now! Thanks.
tried it.. the 1080p stream will be gone if you have to share a power point presentation or sc reen
@@hoyjerkoy592 definitely because it's done using a share screen option. I guess that's why it comes as a second Camera option.. not exactly because Zoom is hiding it from you.
However the content shared was of absolutely amazing value!
Totally Love the way he has explained and presented everything in such a wonderful manner
@@arqi-ology2744 yes it is..i already fixed this by using obs hahaha...i can do screen share with my camera and presentation by switching scenes
14:47 there is no advanced drop down bar. And there is no blue bar appearing in zoom in the top left corner that needs to be activated? Any ideas?
Awesome video Awall. You rock!!!! Thank you ever so much. Feel better!
Thank you sooo much for these tips! You're the best, Awall!
GREAT video - thanks so much! Curious though, you mentioned enhancing audio settings on a PC - but what about those of us on Macs. Are there specific audio settings we should look at possibly modifying? Thanks
Thank you for the amazing "next level" zoom walk through. Consise and to the point, with clear instructions, I had to repeat it a few times because my Zoom UI didn't look the same and it took me a minute to figure out. I'm using it for school and zoom but hope to apply it professionally and maybe creatively going forward as an amature. Liked & Sub'ed, looking forward to learning more from your content! Thanks!
Thanks for this easy to understand information. I work with seniors and this will make them so much better to hear.
Thank you for the plaster for my cut!!! Seriously, I see improvements straight away. Really grateful!
Great video! An important note regarding sharing the "document camera" feature. When you use share, you force ZOOM to send 1080 resolution but at variable frame rates depending on each recipient's bandwidth signal back to ZOOM . From our university testing, video as viewed on the presenter screen is full motion. However, the participants will receive 1080 at variable frame rate. Better image quality @ 1080 but not full 30 frames. The participants very likely will experience this "screen share" with a jittery image (not full motion) much like the old Max Headroom effect.
Wow makes sense. Thank you!
Yes, I checked this out and came to same conclusion after logging in zoom via the cell phone app. To get the full 1080 non jittery experience would be then to confirm with participant beforehand on their bandwidth? Thanks!
Helpful information! hmm...wondering if it is worth trying out. Does it depend on the number of users/students attending your class? I teach older adults who often have connectivity issues and older hardware.
I love your teaching and introducing, that is great!
thank you very much. especially, sound and 2 cameras settings are so cool!!
One of the best videos I've seen here in awhile. Thank you for the information.
Thank you so much for these great tips. Can you use the share second camera option if we are also using the Black Magic Box with a pro canon camera? We record our classes with a canon camera and also use zoom to stream and record. And we also share our screen for power points. This seems complicated. But if we had our presenters use their mobile device as a way to share their screen as a cohost, then could we still use the share second camera option to up the video quality?
Hi! Thank you for this video! It's very helpful!
Does the 2nd camera screen share feature stay on when you change to another screen to share content - photos, a Canva presentation etc?
I just tested it, seems like it doesn't stay on, that's the down side
THANK YOU!
I've been having issues when I shared audio through Zoom for oh so long! But now it's fixed! after following all the settings that are suggested in this video. Oh this makes me so happy :)
Thank you for your excellent video - I am a private music teacher and have been doing zoom lessons for the past 6 1/2 years for special issues - then covid came along and everything was taught over zoom so I was glad I was already using it. I don't have the most expensive equipment but I do well. I have already been using Original Sound but I did not know about the secret video setting. Thank you.
Thanks for the video, very insightful again.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just the quality of the audio is enough to convince someone to subscribe to the channel, apart from the Zoom tips and tricks, well done! 🙌
All of your videos have been so helpful to me! Your teaching style is very detailed and easy to follow. I was using OBS with zoom about a month ago during an interview and actually had the person interviewing me ask what program I was using to do that..lol..made me feel smart for a minute. Side note you look nice with your face shaved Sir..it's a good look for you 😁
Thank you Andrew, your a big help. I was just having issues with the audio and you nailed it.
Thank you! I’ve got a new Mac with an amazing camera and sound and yet, i was having problems. This explains everything. uh…..Thank you! Lol
Amazing tips, thank you so much . If you’re just a guest on someone else’s zoom meeting could u still access the share 2nd camera mode for HD output?
you should be able to yes but you'll need to make sure they have given share screen access to everyone in the meeting.
DUDE!!!! I subscribed after the sound quality part!!!! This guy is fantastic!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
This video was perfect: to the point information, & humor. Thanks for your great content Andrew!
I don’t know where these audio secret settings are on a Mac. But I love this video anyway and have subscribed to your channel
great advice. thank you. Any improvements I can do to my recording with Zoom on Mac?
If you're recording on a MAC in Zoom just make sure you have bright light on your face, quiet space, and you're framing yourself in the lens.
Man, this is so good and so HELPFUL...thank you!!!
Very detailed, presented affectively! Thank You Awall 👌
Good tips. However, the "Share Screen" seems like it would only work if you were the presenter and wanted to to show only your cam. Also, it seems to me that if you use this tip, you become the quasi "spotlighted" video so other participants would only see you--not the other participants in focused and/or gallery view. Are these assumptions correct?
Yeh, same question, has anyone tested this?
And also how is it affected when I “Share Screen” some other audio or video?
So this only works if you have multiple cameras or are sharing your screen with your face (¡in HD!) showing to the whole zoom audience?!
Hi Awall, thank you for the informative video. Can you go over how to stop the shared screen option from hijacking the spotlight from other participants, and how to go directly to a specific camera instead of toggling through many inactive cameras while live with other participants?
Did you ever find the answer to this?
Curious for the response from the OP on these questions.
I would also like to know the answer to this!
I believe you do this through the Spotlight feature as the host when you are starting the Zoom session.
The host should set their screen as Spotlight, that way when a participant chimes in, the focus is still on the spotlighted screen, i.e. the host's screen.
You are the BEST!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial.
Just happened to click on your video without looking for you but the amount of information and very well explained with no annoying music got me hooked. New subscriber here. Thank you! 🙂
Good Video here, just something to point out, while the stream to 2nd camera option is a good idea for a single presenter as you can use OBS to focus on the content to the local system, it's not an ideal situation if you have multiple presenters on the call. Within the zoom online settings (through the zoom portal) there is an option to enable 1080P or 720P, also making changes to windows audio settings, not really a secret zoom menu, more like system default settings.
Hi, where is this 1080 setting in zoom account setyings please? I could only find a setting where everyone's video is changed to HD. This creates a problem if my invitees have low bandwidth. I just want change myself to HD but leave everyone else in standard compressed zoom.
Thanks for your reply..
My question is, does zoom see your 1080p shared screen as 1080p when it comes to Zoom recording? They have a internal system setting that downgrades video recording quality if just one person on the call is NOT 1080p. I record 1080 with OBS, but like having the zoom files as backups.
Just subscribed! This is amazing. Set it up during presentation. Thanks!
So grateful I came across your Channel! You were cracking me up, at the same time of giving me awesome info!!! Thank You! Oh yeah, I subscribed:)
Awesome info! However, I think you could have added suggestions on decent lighting and gear to go with that topic. Thank you!
Can attendees also use this 2nd camera share screen while joining someone else’s zoom call?
Thank you. Appreciate YOU and the reveal to transform our future podcasts and really just the Zoom experience which is SO needed:))
Three years later, this is still the best instruction. Thanks you!!
This is great information!!! How do we get to these settings on a Mac (the Windows part)? Thank you!!
I am wondering the same thing...I can't find some of these features on my mac.
Thank You so much as I just finished teaching Belly Dance and the music was awesome - all my students had a good time as the drum beat especially was very precise 💜💃🙏🙏🙏😊😊
Can you share link to your classes please :)
Thank you so much. I use Zoom for meeting all week every week and trainings. This will really help. I wish I had found this video months ago.
Extremely helpful! I will use your tips to improve my Zoom calls! THANKS & GREAT JOB!
This was soooo exciting ....can't wait for my next Zoom call. But what about MS Teams, any tips for upping the quality there?
Great

Thank you for what you did for people during covid and sharing info every Thursday. God bless you. So glad I found your channel.
Thank you so much Awal... you just solved the problem I have been facing for quite a while now. You saved me on my assessment presentation via zoom tomorrow. Followed all of it. Appreciate your help. Never knew about this secret features
This is the best how to make Zoom calls better video I've seen. The others are just about the basics which most people should have known.
All of your audio tricks are great and I have used most of them but the second camera feature I have only used when sending a switcher into the system because I'm the person driving all of the content being shown in the meeting/webinar, but, giving this out as a tip just to increase your camera quality is not conducive to panels, QnA or gallery view meeting sessions due to the screen share aspect. You are now hogging the screen share and if anyone else needs to share PowerPoint or a video, it will kick out of your screen share. Also, you will be the only one being shown. I have done very few meetings/webinars where this would be very advantageous. I think your tips for audio are great and really do up the quality beyond belief, the video aspect, to me is only useful in a podcast or single presenter meeting, I would modify your title a bit so that someone that attendance a weekly company meeting as an attendee or a small business get together doesn't use that in the wrong environment. Your video is still great I just was pointing this out for people to understand when the video aspect would be properly used.
Hey David I think you're right about the video and screen share. As an online instructor I'm bouncing from presentation to software demo, pdf slides and need to record the whole thing to be watched by students that couldn't be there. I'd need a second brain...(sort of) to manage the video sources and follow teaching. I may have missed the obvious here and if I did someone please advise. Audio thing I have mostly set anyway but missed a couple of details...thanks for that and will set it all right.
Thanks for the tips. Making these adjustments improved my audio.
Thanks a million for the Tips. You've got a new fan.
If I use content from second camera, does that prevent others from sharing their screens?
If you're a host, there is a setting that allows more than 1 participants to share their screen simultaneously. It's in a little arrow on the "share screen" green button, then choose advanced setting there and you'll see it
Yes which is why no one does it. It's a dumb feature that 's only useful if you're doing say Webinar and you're hosting the webinar
Wow! What a breakthrough video!
I am confused about using the Share Screen, Advanced, Content from Second Camera. How could I then share a Powerpoint Slide if I am already in Screen Share? How could others Screen Share?
thanks for your question and surely in the future we will create a video about this.
yes, exactyly my confusing also, because share screen video it means everyone in the meeting your face (??)

I attended a Zoom meeting today & wanted to 'apply content from 2nd camera' (1080p) but it wasn't possible since the host had locked 'share mode'. 😒
share mode is locked by default on startup, next time try ask them to enable it before the meeting, very simple to do.
So Good!!! Many thanks for this. Exactly what I was looking for.
Wow! Thank you. Excellent video. I appreciate you walking us through the steps on how to activate these features.
If I am sharing my camera to increase my video, can I still share my desktop?
Great question 🤔
Question. i tried using the cam by activating my "content from 2nd camera"". however, i noticed that i cannot simultaneously do a ppt presentation while the former is in use. any advice?
I suggest you use OBS, it's a free and open source video recording and streaming software
@@daveDickinson5983 like stream yard?
That was, quite simply, freaking phenomenal! SO appreciate this true value!
I have using Zoom for 2 years w/o these features! Wow. Totally upped my audio and video quality. I am not a gamer so was hesitant to subscribe to Awall - but just this video alone has convinced me to follow this channel. Great practical tips and hidden secrets!!! Thank you so much.
The only problem with the content from 2nd camera feature is that I'm not always allowed to share my screen in school
When I change the Video Quality Setting to share and choose the correct setting, I then lose the ability to access Powerpoint, and other share screen attributes. Is there a way around this?
Route everything into software called "OBS", then send your output from OBS into Zoom's 2nd camera feature
Awall, thank you, thank you from a new ZOOM client. We are in our 70's here and your videos are so helpful, so that someone tech challenged was able to noodle this out with your considerable assistance. Thank you!
