Oh my goodness THANK YOU SO MUCH for explaining this to me - I've been going round and round and ROUND in circles looking in the wrong place for Computer Audio and you've explained it so perfectly step by step! You're my Zumba Zoom Lifesaver!! :)
Thanks so much. I just held a class with zoom and your information was a huge help. I have no tech issues and the students were raving by the end. Thanks again.
Hi there. You don't have issues with video and audio sync? Freezing? Etc. I've taught and taken classes and its pretty crappy on zoom. Though that HD option is something I hadn't noted. I'll have to try that.
Your video and explanations are excellent! Clear, straightforward, concise, and helpful. Thank you! I am doing the first trial run tomorrow. I have more confidence in ZOOM now. Thank you for emphasizing the importance of wifi speed. I will look into it tomorrow. Pretty sure I need higher speed for streaming.
That’s soooo good to hear!! This really means a lot. Helping one another is the goal behind all I do here. Yes WiFi is the key. Otherwise after all the hard work it just won’t work, or won’t be optimized
Hello , I love your videos but I have a question that you may have come across that I have not been able to solve.I have an ipad for Zoom and I wanted to ask what happens if you dont have an advanced setting for sharing content. The drop down screen does not have an advanced option ??. Am I missing something ? Or are Ipads no compatible with all the services that zoom offers. Thanking you advance
If you set your zoom settings so that the viewers are getting the high quality output sound directly from your computer iTunes, Spotify etc, are the students able to hear your voice and instructions/encouragement at the same time while the music is going on as you speak into the external microphones or the computer mic?
Hi Sean please check out other videos in this playlist. It is more challenging to include microphone sound in your voice, I have produced several videos to explain options to do both
Thank you so much for Tip. I had a zumba lesson and music was very but for the audience. Now I know how to share the music. You are my savor thank you.
I did a line dance session yesterday, I connected my music to my computer by line in, I then joined my own session with mobile, that is the only way I could do it so that they could hear me and I could hear the music. It worked quite well, should be better next time thanks to you because I will change a couple of settings and now know I can mute them all, they are a very chatty bunch ;) The one main observation was when I was dancing in front of them there was a time lag between the music and my movements.....if we can sort that it will be brilliant...Thanks again, you are a star :)
This is brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing. As for the delay, internet is the biggest component. Make sure to have the high speed package 5 or even 10mbps or higher. Night and day I promise!!
Okay I think I have it all I go to connect through System Preference to sound then attach my external mic; then to Loop Audio however it keeps going from 100 percent to less; I go to Spotify and then connect my speaker and then got to Zoom share screen however they aren't so happy on the sound,,, how do I fix it --- great help Deborah
Is there a way to team teach? Meaning having two instructors being visible to the group. One showing low impact while the other shows advanced move. I know I can spotlight someone that does work for what I’m trying to achieve by doing a full class displaying a split screen with 2 instructors.
I adjusted all my settings as you recommended. Trialed it with a student through iTunes. Through iPhone Through external speaker set on high. No difference. Low and muddled sound. My students are just happy to have a class I’ve spent too much time w ZOOM. I’m researching other streaming services now. TY for trying hard to help.
Feisworld Media I need just help help with the steps to open. Enter room. Allow guests. I go to meeting. Wait. They text me they are awaiting me to open room. I’m just confusing myself. I kind of need the steps again I only teach twice a week. And I’m guessing in between.
My clients cannot hear my voice and say the music is too loud. I've followed these instructions. Have tried using computer microphone/sound and then bough powerbeats wireless earphones with built-in microphone, but same problem.
Ah ha! You've just literally saved my *ss!!! Got my first live Zoom dance fit class tonight (in just 4 hours)... bit last minute.com with the sound test and was horrified to find no ir very distorted underwater sound... The 'Share' 'computer audio' was the answer. Can't thank you enough 🙌🙌🙌
If i am learning dance from a teacher, do i need to mirror my video as well or the instructor needs to mirror video from his side or the videos by default mirrored for everyone?
Thank you very much for such a clear explanation... I have one problem though: the music comes across very clear BUT the volume which is good for the clients is not good for me. Basically they can hear but for me it is too low and when I put it higher for me (host) it' is too loud for them. Is there a way so we both have an audible volume? thank you . Paula
Hello! Thank you so much for you video. (Sorry if you have already been asked) But my music comes from my ipod/iphone alone. I use a bluetooth speaker to make it louder. It is NOT on my computer at all. Does the computer sound fix only work if they music is ON your computer? Thank you!
I try to computer sound option but it’s not as good and clear as computer audio only. If you use an external speaker, the sound will definitely be very choppy
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Very helpful. Do you know if there is a way to play music directly from a mobile device? All my ZIN playlists are on my phone. Thanks again!
Hi there my Zumba instructor plays all the Zumba music through his Spotify, I believe that’s the way to go. By the way instructions mention in the video works on laptop or computer only, unfortunately zoom does not have the equivalent settings on mobile or tablet at the moment
I Hope you can help me since I have a dance recital on Zoom coming up! When I share the computer sound on Zoom and talk at the same time, my voice is lower because of the music, is there a way to have both well ?
Hi, thanks for this. I have a question concerning the camera view. A computer webcam gives a wide angle and so a lot of side space is viewed rather than the feet, a phone cam usually gives the length needed for a full body view but is not that practical - any chance there's a setting for the webcam to view in length instead of width? thank you
Hi! You can actually turn the webcam vertical if needed. That'll change the video orientation similar to the phone. I hope I'm understanding it correctly! I use a Logitech.
Just FYI, ISPs prioritize speedtest.net so that your connection always looks good. It's not a true real-world test. Try fast.com instead, it uses Netflix servers and appears to your internet provider as netflix traffic. It gives a better real-world example of what you're actually getting (hit more info to see your upload speed).
Hello Feisworld 🙋 you explained that great. 👍🏼 thank you very much.🙏🏼 but how can you remove the text because some steps cannot be seen because the text runs over it🙈😁
Sorry about that - please let me know which steps and I'll share some screenshots on my website. Here's more info and a free community to answer your questions www.feisworld.com/livestream
Thank you for uploading this video, my wife and I are both retired Zumba Instructors and we were looking for a way to live stream the free dance exercise class that she had started for our local community. I did a test already using the free zoom account and the sound was really good with just a little bit of a delay.
Wonderful! To minimize delay, make sure your internet is top speed, check using speedtest.net - from there, ask all your students to turn off audio and video, this will save bandwidth and speed up the experience for everyone. Good luck!
Thank you so much for this video. I don't have iTunes on the computer I use for Zoom I just have an iPod. I bought a microphone (similar to the one you are using in the video) and I put it near a small bluetooth speaker. My sound is still spotty. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Hi there. Thanks for the video. I was wondering if you have any advice on the lag between the music and the video. We are sharing the sound as you mention but for our users the video doesnt match the sound. Our instructors are teaching to the music at their end but this isnt coming across in sync for our viewers. There is not much we can do about the different internet speeds across the regions either. Hope this makes sense. Thanks!
Some solutions here: th-cam.com/video/HphUHAg9udk/w-d-xo.html (but also - try setting up a phone as a monitoring device to hear and see what your students are seeing)
Great video! I love it. I just started recording my TH-cam channel videos on Zoom, it's super easy! Also upload time seems easier. Thank you for the tips 😊
Hi! Thank you SO MUCH for this helpful info! A few questions: Is there a way to set up a mic to use while you teach? Maybe even Apple iPods as a mic so that my students can hear my voice better? How can myself and my students connect our laptops or viewing device to the tv so that we can see each other better? My students say the music is a tad delayed, causing my moves to be a tad ahead of the music. Any solutions? Thanks so much!!
I record my Zumba classes rather than live stream them and I use my iPhone, not a laptop. Is there anything I can do to help with those methods? The music quality is the worst part about it. I’d really appreciate any help you or anyone here could offer! 🙏 Thanks in advance!
I know what you mean! You have to overlay/edit in post production to sync up music 100%. You can hire someone from Upwork.com. We offer this as a service too if you want to drop an email feisworld(at)gmail(dot).com
This is very helpful for ZUMBA! However, I also teach strong that requires I use a microphone to speak to my participants. I am familiar with sharing my computer sound for the music, but how do I also add a microphone sound to the music?
That's some CRAZY INTERNET SPEEDS that's why you can get the audio to sound great to the conference participants. Here in Brazil we have a tenth(1/10) of that If we are lucky. I was using this method, but it just doesn't work well so I'm looking for something that would work.
Hello, Thank you for this information, it is very useful. I am a full time fitness instructor and have been teaching Live FB classes with no problem. However, my private clients want zoom classes and I've had some issues with the sound. I teach classes where I need them to hear the music as well as my voice. I did a test with what you suggested and I shared my music and the other participant. She could hear it well, but she could not hear my voice. I've tried several things for the past 2 days and since these Zoom classes will be my only income for a while I really need to get this working. I have a "Blue" microphone that I've tried to incorporate without luck. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us!
Hi Abril, a mixer is best for sharing music and voice: th-cam.com/video/IIJDDTlrrHA/w-d-xo.html (if you have a blue mic, you can try "share computer sound" but it won't be optimal)
Thank you for your help! Question - do you know how you can sync your Spotify playlist...so that you control the song and your students can play my Spotify playlist on their own with a bluetooth speaker? Currently, we're all trying to press play on my playlist at the same time but of course, some beats are off. Thank you!
Hi Rose, you can use a secondary monitoring device to hear what your students hear, such as your mobile phone. Another way to sync music perfectly is for everyone to download JQBX, but they do need Spotify account. I'll release a vide on JQBX soon
Amazing Amazing! I teach zumba from my living room now again thanks to you!! xoxo. I bought same camera as you have and as you recommended, i unchecked the HD box but then view gets really wide and i can't fit myself in the camera. (Nowhere to go in my living room). Is there anyway that I can use this logitech camera and make myself not big same time uncheck the HD box option? Thank you! Love you!
Where can I find instructors who are actively doing Zumba Zoom right now? My friends and I are looking for a class. Pacific Standard Time (Los Angeles) preferred but Free is more important for a first time tryout. Willing to pay for future classes.
What if I don’t want to mirror my image but I want my image to flip on their screen so they are going the right direct. We use an app called BAND and it automatically flips it on the screen for them
Thank you for posting this helpful video. I just spent the last 3 days trying to figure out live streaming for Zumba. We totally crashed using DaCast and rushed to Zoom with lots of chaos not knowing how to set it up. I'll definitely implement your tips for tomorrow's session! BTW how is your upload speed so high? Mine is like 11Mbps!
So glad this helps! It was such a headache looking through solutions, OMG I feel you. I had super slow Comcast internet, 1.7mbps up, painful. Since I'm also an indie documentary filmmaker, I really needed high speed. We found Verizon Fios and life-changing. We have the Gigabyte solutions, check it out, here's my referral with a discount if you are interested: Verizon Fios Gigabyte connection & get $100 gift card (enter code: LEFFE009VZ) www.verizon.com/home/mlp/referafriendvz.html
what do you regarding the music and video not syncing? When I dance to the music my students get a version where my dancing is not synced with the music. Share computer sound was on.
@@FeisworldMedia Thanks for the advice! Is there a way to disable/enable all videos in my control as the host? Since we have to switch back and forth a lot, as I want to see them try the choreo too to music. what do you mean by downloading my playlist first? I play music from itunes playlist, so I am not downloading it at that time.
itunes is all set then. There’s no disable all videos option yet. You should ask students to do it at the beginning of the class, or you can set the class/meeting to start with participants video off
@@FeisworldMedia geee, that sounds like a lot of work, since we communicate a lot througout the class (I don't teach Zumba), so we would have to keep turning them on/off... with there was another way...
When I click on the green share button it only gives me options to share applications or what’s currently on my desk top...no audio sharing settings...is this something that is not available in the free version??
Why can't they hear me when I try calling out moves when music is playing, some people have done it, and it lowers the music a little enough so I can hear them, any ideas
Thanks so much for posting this. I’ve been trying to get my laptop OR iPad up and running with music and video. Still not working. Something I see on your video and also saw on a blog about this topic is the green share button. I do not see that. Is that only on a Mac? I have a laptop with windows 10. My husband, who knows a lot about computers, and I, who have been using Zoom successfully for face-to-face meetings, have spent about 80 hours on this to no avail.
Hi Ava, you need minimum of 3-4mbps for upload. If you were to ask me and given the crisis we are in (everyone's home), you are better off with around 50 to uploads. Mine is from Verizon Fios and it's nearly 800mpbs upload, I really love it
If I select to use computer audio for the best sound for my participants, can I still select whatever speaker I want I for the audio I need to hear in the audio/microphone menu, or will they hear the music also coming from my speaker? I saw one person using an earphone for her music and the computer music for us to hear, and the other person just muted her side so we could have computer audio and guess she had her own speaker, but then she couldn't talk during the class. Do you understand what I'm asking?
thanks for the informative video. How do I make sure that my screen is the big screen that the participants see and not so that we all get split up into small boxes?
Super succinct, spot-on, and sizzling with secrets. Whoa! This was just what I needed. Questions: (1) Do you suggest we do all the exercises with them or demo and then spot and correct them? (2) When teaching Zumba do you use a different sort of wide-angle lens or Zoom features?
Great question - you’ll learn a lot along the way and I think every trainer and business is different. It’s a lot to do on your own. If you want to spot and correct - you could be 1/ record the session and send feedback after or 2/ demo and then watch the students perform to give feedback in real-time.
There aren’t a ton of zoom features beyond what I shared as zoom wasn’t designed for online training necessarily, we all are trying to make it fit and work. :)
I loved your video. But I still have a question: for Zumba, it is important that the people star with their right steps, so how can I mirror my image? I try it the mirror option on the video but when I was at the meeting the people did not saw the mirror image change.
hello! thank you so much for sharing. could you share how you recieve payments for people who attend your zoom online dance classes? this has been really supportive information.
Can anyone help me out. I have shared computer sound but my audience says they can not here me when I am teaching only the music. I am NOT muted at all so i was wondering how to make that work if anyone else has that issue. Thanks
Hi there, good question - I tried to recreate on mobile but didn't see the same settings, I assume iPad will have similar challenges but will try tomorrow. Thanks for watching!
Unfortunately the mobile apps of ZOOM are very restricted in Settings - most important: it's NOT possible to share Audio from mobile devices, it's just working with desktop version! Anyway, thanks a lot for this awesome video - it says everything ;-)
Zumba Mami Martina indeed I tried today and no setting options. Wish they invent them soon! I know several instructors without home laptops, mobiles would have been convenient.
Students can here music from my laptop but can’t hear my voice. So frustrating. I have a headset but can’t seem to get the headset and music to work together???
I have a question about physical classes - like Zumba, Dance, etc, using Zoom. SO FAR, no one has a solution for this! Here is the problem: When I have participants in my Zoom, they can all see each other and me. As the host, I always look "correct" to them. BUT, when I turn it over to another participant to LEAD the class, like in a breakout room, she will look correct to some participants, but REVERSED to others! The mirroring function does NOT fix it - it only fixes your display of yourself. So, it seems that folks with Windows machines look correct to each other, but people with iPads see the "leading" participant or some of the other participants only, as suddenly being in REVERSE direction to them. HOW do you fix that? I tried making that leading participant a "co-host," etc, and NOTHING works. I asked Zoom support weeks ago, and still am waiting for their reply. NO ONE seems to have an answer for this - how to fix it simply - and it is a SERIOUS PROBLEM when teaching physical instruction in Zoom, as it causes confusion, disorientation, and frustration. Any ideas how to solve this??
Good question. You are in our FB group right? We should post this question there: www.feisworld.com/livestream (someone has mentioned the app called BAND but I haven't found the link yet)
Thank you so much for this . This is all new to many of us, and feel totally out of my comfort zone. My home screen on zoom on my laptop goes straight to my account , any tips how to get the home page up Thank you
Thanks so much for your tutorial! I tried to stream the music through my computer. Sounds low on my end and high on their end...and they can't really hear me talk. Any idea what's going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Hi Andrew! By computer audio only, all that broadcasting power is going OUT, while the sound for you is lowered. If you have external speaker you can plug in (wired or bluetooth will work), that'll do the magic. After you connect the speaker, make sure to go to Audio setting and select the new speaker. Best!
Hi Cindy, it's much harder - the music will be good. You just need share screen | then play Spotify. BUT your video will be very low quality. You can try with a second iphone or ipad to teach, while using the original phone for music only
Hi! Thank you for this tutorial! Im searching for a way to record the live stream(im a fitness instructor) but only record my screen only, not with the screen of the participants in it. Is that possible? Please let me know, thank you!
Hi Daphne, I was just talking to my instructor about it. Very simple, record as usual, with your video pinned, then with iMovie or FinalCutPro, it's a super easy crop to remove people from the "edges"
This is incredibly helpful thank you. I can see all of this on my MacBook Pro but I can’t find a way of saying installing my Zin App. It does not show up in the App Store. When you go to my phone or tablet Zoom does not have all these menu choices. So can we use the ZIN app on a MacBook Pro or is there a way to make these adjustments on an iPad or iPhone?
Hi Sheila, I'm actually not a Zumba instructor but I can ask around. I did hear about the difficulty of playing ZIN music directly, my instructors typically add them to his Spotify list before playing in class or via Zoom. Have you tried that?
Sheila Hallam very welcome!! And I did hear from someone today that the ZIN app playlist won’t play directly in zoom or any other web conference apps sadly.
@@FeisworldMedia ZIN is often proprietary music and not available on spotify if you search for it. However, if you download the music onto your computer, you can find it in your "local" setting and then move it to your library/ add it to a playlist. This is how I've been able to get some songs to my Spotify. Good luck!
Did you set “computer audio only”? The students will hear it clearly. Then for you to use a speaker where you are, make sure to set audio setting (speaker to be the Bluetooth one) - It’s towards the last few minutes of the video after technical triage
Am sorry i have a huge issue that i cant seem to find the solution, am trying to run an online dance classes with music that is shared from my pc, but the participant hears the music very well but not me talking to them, i tried even to wear an external microphone headset that are attached to a big speakers but still they cant hear me, i had to lower the music sound so low that even me o couldn't hear it ( tje participant could hear the music loud and clear) Also i tried an airpods but they either can hear me or the music, can you please advice the correct way to do it..thankfully. Suzana.

HI Jana, using a mixer is best for music and voice, here's the guide: th-cam.com/video/IIJDDTlrrHA/w-d-xo.html thank you!!
How can you set the camera so you can see the instructors full body up close?
Thank you.
If you set your zoom settings so that the viewers are getting the high quality output sound directly from your computer iTunes, Spotify etc, are the students able to hear your voice and instructions/encouragement at the same time while the music is going on as you speak into the external microphones or the computer mic?

You’re welcome 😊
With sharing the music from your computer, does it work for youtube if you don't have Itunes or Spotify (Spotify doesn't work on my laptop)?
I did a line dance session yesterday, I connected my music to my computer by line in, I then joined my own session with mobile, that is the only way I could do it so that they could hear me and I could hear the music.

HI Dianne, can you explain what you mean my line in and mobile? My class can either hear my voice or the music - not both.
Mandip Gill hi I’m recording a video to introduce a solution to share music and voice soon. Stay tuned!!
Feisworld Media you are amazing. Really appreciate all your efforts. Big love 💕

Deborah
In zoom when teaching your students what view are you in also what view when you record.
Is there a way to team teach? Meaning having two instructors being visible to the group. One showing low impact while the other shows advanced move. I know I can spotlight someone that does work for what I’m trying to achieve by doing a full class displaying a split screen with 2 instructors.
I adjusted all my settings as you recommended. Trialed it with a student through iTunes. Through iPhone Through external speaker set on high. No difference.
Low and muddled sound. My students are just happy to have a class I’ve spent too much time w ZOOM. I’m researching other streaming services now. TY for trying hard to help.
Hi Pat, after you select Advanced | Computer Audio Only, please make sure to hit SHARE. Otherwise the setting will not be saved. let me know!
Feisworld Media
I need just help help with the steps to open. Enter room. Allow guests.
I go to meeting. Wait. They text me they are awaiting me to open room. I’m just confusing myself. I kind of need the steps again I only teach twice a week. And I’m guessing in between.
My clients cannot hear my voice and say the music is too loud. I've followed these instructions. Have tried using computer microphone/sound and then bough powerbeats wireless earphones with built-in microphone, but same problem.
Awesome but could we cut down the frequency of ads? It would make it even more awesome 😉
Thanks, thank you so much. You deft answered my questions. I knew more than I thot but really needed this tutorial. I am a new sub. Love your videos
Glad it was helpful! Means so much. :)
Thank you . Your video was very informative and helpful and to the point.
Glad it was helpful!
Ah ha! You've just literally saved my *ss!!! Got my first live Zoom dance fit class tonight (in just 4 hours)... bit last minute.com with the sound test and was horrified to find no ir very distorted underwater sound... The 'Share' 'computer audio' was the answer. Can't thank you enough 🙌🙌🙌
If i am learning dance from a teacher, do i need to mirror my video as well or the instructor needs to mirror video from his side or the videos by default mirrored for everyone?
thank you so much for this information! is it possible to use the mixer option with airpods as mic and speaker?
The sound from airpods won't come through clearly, you'll need a mixer (physical or virtual), be sure to check out my other videos. :)
Thank you so much!
Thank you very much for such a clear explanation... I have one problem though: the music comes across very clear BUT the volume which is good for the clients is not good for me. Basically they can hear but for me it is too low and when I put it higher for me (host) it' is too loud for them. Is there a way so we both have an audible volume? thank you . Paula
I have the same exact issue.
dont know what to do.
Hi! I have a video on how to set up Loopback, but a better solution is with a mixer: th-cam.com/video/IIJDDTlrrHA/w-d-xo.html
Hello! Thank you so much for you video. (Sorry if you have already been asked) But my music comes from my ipod/iphone alone. I use a bluetooth speaker to make it louder. It is NOT on my computer at all. Does the computer sound fix only work if they music is ON your computer? Thank you!
Hi! Yes the advanced setting is only adjustable on computer.
Pls check out our mixer video! You can use laptop and a phone with mixer for best sound.
Is there any advice when using a speaker for music instead of playing it from computer? Would you use the computer sound option? Thanks
I try to computer sound option but it’s not as good and clear as computer audio only. If you use an external speaker, the sound will definitely be very choppy
Awesome info!! How do u hook it up to your TV?
Hi! We use an HDMI cable
Omg. You are angel. Thank you for all this!
Haha so glad to hear, we struggled too, glad we can pass on this learning!
Thanks. I do not see the pdf you referred to in your video with the instructions.
Sorry my bad, here it is: static1.squarespace.com/static/5897f11bbebafb043ea26466/t/5e78319482535d5a15877ca2/1584935318025/Livestream+like+a+Pro+2.pdf

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Very helpful. Do you know if there is a way to play music directly from a mobile device? All my ZIN playlists are on my phone. Thanks again!
Hi there my Zumba instructor plays all the Zumba music through his Spotify, I believe that’s the way to go. By the way instructions mention in the video works on laptop or computer only, unfortunately zoom does not have the equivalent settings on mobile or tablet at the moment
Great! Thanks!
I Hope you can help me since I have a dance recital on Zoom coming up! When I share the computer sound on Zoom and talk at the same time, my voice is lower because of the music, is there a way to have both well ?
Hi, thanks for this. I have a question concerning the camera view. A computer webcam gives a wide angle and so a lot of side space is viewed rather than the feet, a phone cam usually gives the length needed for a full body view but is not that practical - any chance there's a setting for the webcam to view in length instead of width? thank you
Hi! You can actually turn the webcam vertical if needed. That'll change the video orientation similar to the phone. I hope I'm understanding it correctly! I use a Logitech.
Just FYI, ISPs prioritize speedtest.net so that your connection always looks good. It's not a true real-world test. Try fast.com instead, it uses Netflix servers and appears to your internet provider as netflix traffic. It gives a better real-world example of what you're actually getting (hit more info to see your upload speed).
Thank you I’ll be sure to check it out!!
Hello Feisworld 🙋
you explained that great. 👍🏼 thank you very much.🙏🏼 but how can you remove the text because some steps cannot be seen because the text runs over it🙈😁
Sorry about that - please let me know which steps and I'll share some screenshots on my website. Here's more info and a free community to answer your questions www.feisworld.com/livestream
Thank you for answer 👍 i will see 🤗
Got the music working but they can’t hear me when I stream the music
Any tips ? They like to hear me
Thank you for uploading this video, my wife and I are both retired Zumba Instructors and we were looking for a way to live stream the free dance exercise class that she had started for our local community. I did a test already using the free zoom account and the sound was really good with just a little bit of a delay.
Wonderful! To minimize delay, make sure your internet is top speed, check using speedtest.net - from there, ask all your students to turn off audio and video, this will save bandwidth and speed up the experience for everyone. Good luck!
Thank you so much for this video. I don't have iTunes on the computer I use for Zoom I just have an iPod. I bought a microphone (similar to the one you are using in the video) and I put it near a small bluetooth speaker. My sound is still spotty. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Hi! You'll need a mixer or a software like Loopback: th-cam.com/video/IIJDDTlrrHA/w-d-xo.html
Hi there. Thanks for the video. I was wondering if you have any advice on the lag between the music and the video. We are sharing the sound as you mention but for our users the video doesnt match the sound. Our instructors are teaching to the music at their end but this isnt coming across in sync for our viewers. There is not much we can do about the different internet speeds across the regions either. Hope this makes sense. Thanks!
Some solutions here: th-cam.com/video/HphUHAg9udk/w-d-xo.html (but also - try setting up a phone as a monitoring device to hear and see what your students are seeing)
Thank you so much!!!! You're a life saver.
So good to hear!! Love it
Great video! I love it. I just started recording my TH-cam channel videos on Zoom, it's super easy! Also upload time seems easier. Thank you for the tips 😊
Thank you! That was helpful.
Hi! Thank you SO MUCH for this helpful info! A few questions: Is there a way to set up a mic to use while you teach? Maybe even Apple iPods as a mic so that my students can hear my voice better? How can myself and my students connect our laptops or viewing device to the tv so that we can see each other better? My students say the music is a tad delayed, causing my moves to be a tad ahead of the music. Any solutions? Thanks so much!!
Yes, this setup is the best th-cam.com/video/IIJDDTlrrHA/w-d-xo.html
I record my Zumba classes rather than live stream them and I use my iPhone, not a laptop. Is there anything I can do to help with those methods? The music quality is the worst part about it. I’d really appreciate any help you or anyone here could offer! 🙏 Thanks in advance!
I know what you mean! You have to overlay/edit in post production to sync up music 100%. You can hire someone from Upwork.com. We offer this as a service too if you want to drop an email feisworld(at)gmail(dot).com
This is very helpful for ZUMBA! However, I also teach strong that requires I use a microphone to speak to my participants. I am familiar with sharing my computer sound for the music, but how do I also add a microphone sound to the music?
Check this out, new vid from today: th-cam.com/video/cdtuNrfXeEA/w-d-xo.html
So what type of wireless mic do you recommend for Zoom and teaching fitness classes?
Pls check out Feisworld.com/livestream for options.
That's some CRAZY INTERNET SPEEDS that's why you can get the audio to sound great to the conference participants.
Here in Brazil we have a tenth(1/10) of that If we are lucky.
I was using this method, but it just doesn't work well so I'm looking for something that would work.
Hello,
Thank you for this information, it is very useful. I am a full time fitness instructor and have been teaching Live FB classes with no problem. However, my private clients want zoom classes and I've had some issues with the sound. I teach classes where I need them to hear the music as well as my voice. I did a test with what you suggested and I shared my music and the other participant. She could hear it well, but she could not hear my voice. I've tried several things for the past 2 days and since these Zoom classes will be my only income for a while I really need to get this working. I have a "Blue" microphone that I've tried to incorporate without luck. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us!
Hi Abril, a mixer is best for sharing music and voice: th-cam.com/video/IIJDDTlrrHA/w-d-xo.html (if you have a blue mic, you can try "share computer sound" but it won't be optimal)
Thank you for your help! Question - do you know how you can sync your Spotify playlist...so that you control the song and your students can play my Spotify playlist on their own with a bluetooth speaker? Currently, we're all trying to press play on my playlist at the same time but of course, some beats are off. Thank you!
Hi Rose, you can use a secondary monitoring device to hear what your students hear, such as your mobile phone. Another way to sync music perfectly is for everyone to download JQBX, but they do need Spotify account. I'll release a vide on JQBX soon
Can you use other music streaming services like Pandora or Amazon Music?
Hi the short answer is yes - anything from computer audio, technically doesn't matter which service you use.
Huge help... thank you!
Thank you so much! This is exactly what i needed
Amazing Amazing! I teach zumba from my living room now again thanks to you!! xoxo. I bought same camera as you have and as you recommended, i unchecked the HD box but then view gets really wide and i can't fit myself in the camera. (Nowhere to go in my living room). Is there anyway that I can use this logitech camera and make myself not big same time uncheck the HD box option? Thank you! Love you!
Wonderful! Turn on HD for video, or move the web cam on a tripod: th-cam.com/video/HphUHAg9udk/w-d-xo.html
Where can I find instructors who are actively doing Zumba Zoom right now? My friends and I are looking for a class. Pacific Standard Time (Los Angeles) preferred but Free is more important for a first time tryout. Willing to pay for future classes.
Check out popstarbootycamp.com - first class is free. Super fun
What if I don’t want to mirror my image but I want my image to flip on their screen so they are going the right direct. We use an app called BAND and it automatically flips it on the screen for them
What's the link to BAND?
Thank you for posting this helpful video. I just spent the last 3 days trying to figure out live streaming for Zumba. We totally crashed using DaCast and rushed to Zoom with lots of chaos not knowing how to set it up. I'll definitely implement your tips for tomorrow's session! BTW how is your upload speed so high? Mine is like 11Mbps!
So glad this helps! It was such a headache looking through solutions, OMG I feel you. I had super slow Comcast internet, 1.7mbps up, painful. Since I'm also an indie documentary filmmaker, I really needed high speed. We found Verizon Fios and life-changing. We have the Gigabyte solutions, check it out, here's my referral with a discount if you are interested: Verizon Fios Gigabyte connection & get $100 gift card (enter code: LEFFE009VZ) www.verizon.com/home/mlp/referafriendvz.html
what do you regarding the music and video not syncing? When I dance to the music my students get a version where my dancing is not synced with the music. Share computer sound was on.
Disable student videos and chat will help. Plus downloading your playlist first. Good luck
@@FeisworldMedia Thanks for the advice! Is there a way to disable/enable all videos in my control as the host? Since we have to switch back and forth a lot, as I want to see them try the choreo too to music. what do you mean by downloading my playlist first? I play music from itunes playlist, so I am not downloading it at that time.
itunes is all set then. There’s no disable all videos option yet. You should ask students to do it at the beginning of the class, or you can set the class/meeting to start with participants video off
@@FeisworldMedia geee, that sounds like a lot of work, since we communicate a lot througout the class (I don't teach Zumba), so we would have to keep turning them on/off... with there was another way...
@@AmayaBellydance As for turning audio off for the group, there's a "Mute All" button, very easy to do.
When I click on the green share button it only gives me options to share applications or what’s currently on my desk top...no audio sharing settings...is this something that is not available in the free version??
Oh that’s a good point. I’ve got the pro version.
I was able to play my itunes music for my fitness class but then they can't hear my voice over the music. any suggestions?
Colleen Needham did you ever get an answer to this? Students can hear music bu not my instruction. I have a headset but it doesn’t work well? Help.
Hi there, here's the follow up video for the best voice instruction th-cam.com/video/IIJDDTlrrHA/w-d-xo.html
Feisworld Media I really don’t want to invest $500 for a mixer and other equipment for a temporary solution.
Bravo. Make more. I have a yoga studio, and this was helpful, especially with the music. Be WELL!!!
You too, take care and hugs!!
Why can't they hear me when I try calling out moves when music is playing, some people have done it, and it lowers the music a little enough so I can hear them, any ideas
Thanks so much for posting this. I’ve been trying to get my laptop OR iPad up and running with music and video. Still not working. Something I see on your video and also saw on a blog about this topic is the green share button. I do not see that. Is that only on a Mac? I have a laptop with windows 10. My husband, who knows a lot about computers, and I, who have been using Zoom successfully for face-to-face meetings, have spent about 80 hours on this to no avail.
Hi! Yes, it's under the Green share button. It may be with paid Zoom accounts only.
This video is Gold🥰 Thank you so much for filming this tutorial.
I have heard a lot about using OBS. What are your thoughts?
Thanks so much! Can’t wait to check out OBS. Haven’t used it before
What about using an iPad? Is there something I can do to improve audio? Thank you
Will post a video soon about it! I can get back to you 🙌
That would be awesome. Thank you
Working on a solution...! :)
Good question
Also on an iPad. Have you talked about live music? I teach with a percussionist.
What would be optimal Download/upload speeds that we should have?
Hi Ava, you need minimum of 3-4mbps for upload. If you were to ask me and given the crisis we are in (everyone's home), you are better off with around 50 to uploads. Mine is from Verizon Fios and it's nearly 800mpbs upload, I really love it
If I select to use computer audio for the best sound for my participants, can I still select whatever speaker I want I for the audio I need to hear in the audio/microphone menu, or will they hear the music also coming from my speaker? I saw one person using an earphone for her music and the computer music for us to hear, and the other person just muted her side so we could have computer audio and guess she had her own speaker, but then she couldn't talk during the class. Do you understand what I'm asking?
Check this out, new vid from today: th-cam.com/video/cdtuNrfXeEA/w-d-xo.html
thanks for the informative video. How do I make sure that my screen is the big screen that the participants see and not so that we all get split up into small boxes?
Please select "speaker view"... and make sure your student PIN your video before class starts
Super succinct, spot-on, and sizzling with secrets. Whoa! This was just what I needed. Questions: (1) Do you suggest we do all the exercises with them or demo and then spot and correct them? (2) When teaching Zumba do you use a different sort of wide-angle lens or Zoom features?
Great question - you’ll learn a lot along the way and I think every trainer and business is different. It’s a lot to do on your own. If you want to spot and correct - you could be 1/ record the session and send feedback after or 2/ demo and then watch the students perform to give feedback in real-time.
There aren’t a ton of zoom features beyond what I shared as zoom wasn’t designed for online training necessarily, we all are trying to make it fit and work. :)
Check this out, new vid from today: th-cam.com/video/cdtuNrfXeEA/w-d-xo.html
I loved your video. But I still have a question: for Zumba, it is important that the people star with their right steps, so how can I mirror my image? I try it the mirror option on the video but when I was at the meeting the people did not saw the mirror image change.
Hi! I personally always use “mirror my screen”. It’s under zoom preference / video options and then check “mirror”
Is there a way of having 3 different meetings at the same time on zoom ?
You’ll need 3 accounts. Otherwise zoom will kick you out and leaving only one meeting active
hello! thank you so much for sharing. could you share how you recieve payments for people who attend your zoom online dance classes? this has been really supportive information.
Wonderful, I have a course explaining how to charge one time vs recurring payments www.skillshare.com/r/user/feisworld
During zoom online fitness class, My clients can hear music but my voice is low. Any suggestions?
what kind of web camera are you using
Are you playing your music on the same device you are streaming your videos
Can anyone help me out. I have shared computer sound but my audience says they can not here me when I am teaching only the music. I am NOT muted at all so i was wondering how to make that work if anyone else has that issue.
Thanks
Hi Rachel for clear voice and music, your best bet is a mixer: th-cam.com/video/IIJDDTlrrHA/w-d-xo.html
how can u create those settings if you are using a tablet?
Hi there, good question - I tried to recreate on mobile but didn't see the same settings, I assume iPad will have similar challenges but will try tomorrow. Thanks for watching!
Unfortunately the mobile apps of ZOOM are very restricted in Settings - most important: it's NOT possible to share Audio from mobile devices, it's just working with desktop version!
Anyway, thanks a lot for this awesome video - it says everything ;-)
Zumba Mami Martina indeed I tried today and no setting options. Wish they invent them soon! I know several instructors without home laptops, mobiles would have been convenient.
Thank you, working on a solution, sharing next week. :)
Students can here music from my laptop but can’t hear my voice. So frustrating. I have a headset but can’t seem to get the headset and music to work together???
Hi July, you might want to plug in an external speaker. Here's more helpful info on products and a free Facebook group: www.feisworld.com/livestream
I have a question about physical classes - like Zumba, Dance, etc, using Zoom. SO FAR, no one has a solution for this! Here is the problem: When I have participants in my Zoom, they can all see each other and me. As the host, I always look "correct" to them. BUT, when I turn it over to another participant to LEAD the class, like in a breakout room, she will look correct to some participants, but REVERSED to others! The mirroring function does NOT fix it - it only fixes your display of yourself. So, it seems that folks with Windows machines look correct to each other, but people with iPads see the "leading" participant or some of the other participants only, as suddenly being in REVERSE direction to them. HOW do you fix that? I tried making that leading participant a "co-host," etc, and NOTHING works. I asked Zoom support weeks ago, and still am waiting for their reply. NO ONE seems to have an answer for this - how to fix it simply - and it is a SERIOUS PROBLEM when teaching physical instruction in Zoom, as it causes confusion, disorientation, and frustration. Any ideas how to solve this??
Good question. You are in our FB group right? We should post this question there: www.feisworld.com/livestream (someone has mentioned the app called BAND but I haven't found the link yet)
What about licensing music? Do you ever get flagged?
Not through Zoom.
Thank you so much for this . This is all new to many of us, and feel totally out of my comfort zone. My home screen on zoom on my laptop goes straight to my account , any tips how to get the home page up
Thank you
Downloading Zoom (client app) will help - zoom.us/download (for both Mac and PC)
Can we do something about the delay? Because when I teach my dance class, i'm always too fast for the students. But i'm on the music in my house...
Check this out, might be helpful th-cam.com/video/HphUHAg9udk/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much for your tutorial! I tried to stream the music through my computer. Sounds low on my end and high on their end...and they can't really hear me talk. Any idea what's going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Hi Andrew! By computer audio only, all that broadcasting power is going OUT, while the sound for you is lowered. If you have external speaker you can plug in (wired or bluetooth will work), that'll do the magic. After you connect the speaker, make sure to go to Audio setting and select the new speaker. Best!
Works like a charm!!! Thank you so much!
Question
Is it possible to do better sound quality through smart phone only
I have no laptop
Hi Cindy, it's much harder - the music will be good. You just need share screen | then play Spotify. BUT your video will be very low quality. You can try with a second iphone or ipad to teach, while using the original phone for music only
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT , you are amazing. Thank "YOU".
Hi! Thank you for this tutorial! Im searching for a way to record the live stream(im a fitness instructor) but only record my screen only, not with the screen of the participants in it. Is that possible? Please let me know, thank you!
Hi Daphne, I was just talking to my instructor about it. Very simple, record as usual, with your video pinned, then with iMovie or FinalCutPro, it's a super easy crop to remove people from the "edges"
This is incredibly helpful thank you. I can see all of this on my MacBook Pro but I can’t find a way of saying installing my Zin App. It does not show up in the App Store. When you go to my phone or tablet Zoom does not have all these menu choices. So can we use the ZIN app on a MacBook Pro or is there a way to make these adjustments on an iPad or iPhone?
Hi Sheila, I'm actually not a Zumba instructor but I can ask around. I did hear about the difficulty of playing ZIN music directly, my instructors typically add them to his Spotify list before playing in class or via Zoom. Have you tried that?
Feisworld Media thanks for your fast reply. I’m 60 and never done a play list or anything like that. I guess I’m going to have to learn!
Sheila Hallam very welcome!! And I did hear from someone today that the ZIN app playlist won’t play directly in zoom or any other web conference apps sadly.
@@FeisworldMedia ZIN is often proprietary music and not available on spotify if you search for it. However, if you download the music onto your computer, you can find it in your "local" setting and then move it to your library/ add it to a playlist. This is how I've been able to get some songs to my Spotify. Good luck!
We are doing music off a Bluetooth speaker and the sound is horrible? Any suggestions
Did you set “computer audio only”? The students will hear it clearly. Then for you to use a speaker where you are, make sure to set audio setting (speaker to be the Bluetooth one) - It’s towards the last few minutes of the video after technical triage
Check this out, new vid from today: th-cam.com/video/cdtuNrfXeEA/w-d-xo.html
what about using on your phone or tablet ?
You can with share screen - the music quality will be high but the video quality will be low. A second phone or tablet may be needed for teaching.
Am sorry i have a huge issue that i cant seem to find the solution, am trying to run an online dance classes with music that is shared from my pc, but the participant hears the music very well but not me talking to them, i tried even to wear an external microphone headset that are attached to a big speakers but still they cant hear me, i had to lower the music sound so low that even me o couldn't hear it ( tje participant could hear the music loud and clear)
Also i tried an airpods but they either can hear me or the music, can you please advice the correct way to do it..thankfully. Suzana.
