4. Some notes when using Zoom

In the process of using Zoom Meeting, you may encounter some problems such as:

• Can't hear everyone's sound: then make sure the speakers are on and make sure the audio speakers are selected and connected to the zoom's system.
• Other members of the class can't hear you: Make sure the microphone on the computer has or plug in an external microphone and is being used for the zoom system.
• Other members hear the echo when you speak: if this happens then this echo is definitely coming from your computer. then adjust the microphone on the computer and need to review the distance between the speaker and the microphone. Besides, it is also possible to use headphones with microphone to replace audio speakers.
• Sometimes there are echoes of other members: this situation occurs on the part of other members of the class. Then you can ask them to review and find out why.
• If you don't see your classmates, it could be because you haven't done the zoom setting or you haven't logged into the class.
• Make sure you have your webcam turned on or plugged in and selected to use in zoom to be sure other members of the class can see you too.
