Would you like to start this meeting? Would you like to start one of these meetings? Then, test your online speed. Is it fast enough for Zoom video conferencing? We recently tested Zoom on a laptop and on a smartphone while running Speedify , simulating bad Internet conditions. The results showed that Speedify was able to keep the average Zoom video call bandwidth on both devices in good range around the target bandwidth.

And this happened both in situations where the connections were good and when one of them went bad. So how does Speedify achieve that? Well, it uses a technology called channel bonding that allows your to use multiple Internet connections at once. Speedify also routes data when something happens to one of your connections. When you stumble upon a bad Wi-Fi hotspot , or your connection suddenly goes out, you will stay connected. Speedify intelligently and automatically reroutes your data through the other available connection s until you are connected again to both networks.

The beauty of it is that Speedify does more than just manage your Internet connections. It is also a fast bonding VPN. It encrypts all of the data you send and receive from your device.

This helps keep your private information and conversations secure from digital eavesdroppers and cyber thieves. It also makes the Zoom app more stable and secure, and improves your overall Internet experience. If you want to be more productive, start considering how you will achieve blazing fast internet connections with superb network quality, and find the right devices, equipment and tools that will help you collaborate, video conference and take work anywhere.

Our Next Normal blog series will help you do that, by providing you with the tips, tricks and technologies that will help you optimize your remote work experience to become a WFH Superstar. Together, we can make the Next Normal better than the old. Entering your details can then correct the mic fault without having to restart. Ensure your PC audio settings are correct: If you’ve not been able to fix the problem through Zoom itself, then check your settings or preferences on your computer.

Above everything else, check they actually work to help isolate the problem. Background noise is disrupting the call: If there’s too much noise around you – people in the house, traffic noise, animals, aircraft, then consider using a noise cancelation app like Krisp. This can cut the background noise so you come across sounding clearer. It can also cut background noise from others on the call, so you don’t hear their noise either.

Zoom has its own background noise filter too, which you can find in settings. Otherwise the only sound people will get is that coming through your mic. This option is in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen share options.

There are echos or feedback on the audio: This usually happens when a mic detects audio coming from the speakers. It might be that the microphone is too close to the speakers, it might be that someone is using a phone and computer or that multiple computers are too close together. Muting the mic can resolve the problem or identify which participant s are causing the problems.

No one can see me: If you can’t be seen – and can’t see yourself – start by checking you’ve started video on the call. Press the button in the bottom left-hand corner to make sure you’ve joined video on the call.

Most calls start with video off. Check the camera you’re using: Just as with audio, Zoom will let you choose which camera to use. Tap the arrow next to the video button and a list of available cameras will pop-up.

Check you’re not using a camera that’s covered or on a closed docked laptop, for example. It’s also here that you’d be able to find virtual cameras, if you wanted to turn yourself into a cat. Confirm the video settings in Zoom: If you’ve tried both the above with no success, open the settings in the Zoom app and examine the “video” options.

You’ll be able to see a preview from your webcam and select the webcams available.
