Sharing a recorded video with sound during your meeting

Sharing a video clip in your meeting or webinar is easier than ever with the built-in video player for shared content. Video files can be opened within Zoom’s built-in video player and shared, without other participants viewing the playback controls. Sharing your video with the built-in player, instead of as part of a shared screen or application, improves the quality of shared videos, providing a smoother and more stable viewing experience for your viewers.

If you need to share a video from a video sharing website, share your screen and optimize it for video .

This article covers:

How to share your recorded video in a meeting

How to use the playback controls, how video sharing compares to other sharing options, prerequisites for sharing a recorded video with sound during a meeting.

• Windows: 5.4.3 or higher
• macOS: 5.4.3 or higher
• 4-cores or higher
• At least 1.5Mbps uplink and downlink for full screen HD
• MOV or MP4 video file Note : Only the H.264 AVC codec for both mov and mp4 videos is supported. 
• Signed-in to your Zoom account 
• Sign in to the Zoom desktop client. 
• Start or join a Zoom meeting.

• Click Share .  Your system file browser will open for you to select the video file to open. 
• Navigate to and select the video you wish to share, then click Open .  The video will now open within Zoom and be visible to attendees. 
• When using this feature, Optimize for video clip is automatically enabled, which is generally recommended for sharing videos but also restricts and downscales the resolution to 1080/720 to provide improved framerate. This can be manually disabled, which will allow for higher resolution, but this should only be used in situations where framerate is less important.
• You must be signed in to the desktop client to have this option. 

While sharing the video, you will have some common playback controls, which are not visible to other meeting participants. The sharer will have the following controls: 

• Play/Pause: Start or pause the playback of the video. 
• Elapsed time/total video length: Shows the current elapsed time of video playback, and the total length of the video file. 
• Playback slider: Allows you to skip to other points of the video playback range
• Volume: Allows you to adjust the volume of the video being shared. 
• Fullscreen: Allows you to make the video full-screen for you and viewers. 

When using the option to share your desktop or an application, the video resolution is dependent upon CPU usage, screen resolution, graphics card, and OS graphic system capabilities. Additionally, when a video is larger than 1080p, Zoom automatically downgrades the resolution to 1080p (or 720p), in order to optimize the content while minimizing the required bandwidth. Depending on how the video is shared, such as sharing a specific application or sharing only a portion of your screen, it may require additional CPU resources, which can further affect the overall quality of both the video share and the meeting for the user who is sharing.

However, when using the video share option, Zoom encodes the video from the file directly and shares it, effectively bypassing some of the limiting factors with standard content sharing. Allowing the Zoom client to handle the encoding and sharing minimizes CPU usage for the participant who is sharing, which allows for higher frame rates and smoother video playback.

The high-quality audio will produce a more professional and immersive sharing experience.

How to Share a Video on Zoom

• Prepare the video by opening it in either a media player or your web browser. Note: You may want to do this before the meeting begins.

Screen sharing is by far one of the most useful features of  Zoom . But you’ve probably had the unfortunate experience of sharing your screen to show a video during a Zoom meeting, only to discover the other people on the call can’t hear the video’s audio stream.

Why does this happen, and how can you fix it?

The Zoom app defaults to play audio from your microphone. This makes sense, because most of the time you want to be able to talk during Zoom meetings. But it’s easy to change your settings so you can share your screen on Zoom with audio from music or a video instead.

You just have to know where to look and which buttons to click.

We’ll walk you through how to share a screen on Zoom with audio, along with a few bonus tips to make screen sharing with the Zoom app even better.

Pro tip : Need to make a video for your next Zoom meeting? Grab one of  Biteable’s  workplace-ready templates and make your video in no time.

Create videos that drive action

Activate your audience with impactful, on-brand videos. Create them simply and collaboratively with Biteable.

How to screen share on Zoom with standard audio

Before we show you how to share your screen with audio from a video or music, here’s how to screen share on Zoom with standard audio from your microphone (i.e. so participants can hear you talking).

Click the “Share Screen” button in the meeting toolbar > Choose the program you want to share

That’s it. It’s simple to share your screen on Zoom. Up next: screen sharing with a video playing.

How to share your screen on Zoom with audio from a video (PC, ioS)

To share your screen on Zoom with audio from a video:

• Open the Zoom app to start a Zoom meeting or join one.
• Click the green  Share Screen  icon in the lower meeting toolbar.
• Choose what you want to share.
• Click the  Share Sound  checkbox in the bottom toolbar.
• Click the blue  Share  button in the lower right corner.

Start a new Zoom meeting or join one in progress

The first step is to hop on the Zoom app and get that meeting going.

Click the green “Share Screen” icon

Once you’re in the Zoom meeting, click the green  Share Screen  icon in the middle of the meeting toolbar. This begins the process of sharing your screen in Zoom.

If you’re using an external microphone or speaker, make sure you’ve configured your  Zoom audio device settings  before sharing your screen.

Choose the window, program, or desktop you want to share

A window will pop up, prompting you to select what part of your screen you want to share on Zoom. This could be a particular program, window, or your entire desktop. Choose what you want to share with Zoom meeting participants.

Click the “Share Sound” checkbox

This is an important step needed to share not just your screen in Zoom, but also the sound from a video or music track. The  Share Sound checkbox is located in the lower-left corner of the popup window.

Adjust your audio (optional)

If you want to adjust your audio settings, click the tiny down arrow next to the Share Sound label to open the audio quality settings. Choose your sound quality.

• Stereo (High-fidelity)  works on most high speed internet connections.
• Mono  is the best option if you’re on a slower connection or you’re already seeing delays and stutter in your Zoom meeting.

Click the blue “Share” button

This is located in the lower right corner. It’s the final step to sharing your screen on the Zoom app with audio.

That’s it. Now you’re sharing your screen for Zoom meeting participants with the audio from your computer playing. Everyone on the Zoom call will be able to hear your video.

This process simultaneously shares your screen and computer audio along with the audio from your mic. You can also choose to mute yourself while screen sharing. The computer audio will continue playing, but the Zoom meeting participants won’t be able to hear you if you speak.

Now you know how to screen share on the Zoom app with audio from your PC or iOS desktop or laptop. But what happens if you connect to a Zoom meeting from your phone? Screen sharing with audio from your iPhone or Android Zoom app is actually even easier.

Give your Zoom meeting a little something extra:  Use one of Biteable’s  Zoom backgrounds  for a little extra something-something during your next Zoom meeting. We recommend:

• Zoom presentation background
• Organic shapes Zoom background

How to share your Zoom screen with sound from your phone (iPhone/Android)

To share your screen with audio during a Zoom meeting on your phone:

• Start or join a meeting.
• Tap the  share content  button.
• Select  screen .
• Swipe up or press home (for broadcast control screen).
• Tap  start broadcast .
• Toggle  share device audio  to on.
• Swipe up or press home button  >  open the app you want to share.

Start or join a Zoom meeting

You’ll need the  Zoom app  to share your screen with audio from your phone. Get this if you don’t already have it, then start or join your Zoom meeting.

If you haven’t shared a screen in Zoom from your phone before, keep in mind you won’t be able to select a desktop or window to share. Zoom just shares whatever is on your screen, so you may need to do a little prep work to make sure there’s nothing sensitive open.

It’s also wise to turn on Do Not Disturb while you’re screen sharing from your phone. That way, notifications won’t pop up during your screen share.

Tap the “share content” button.

Once you’re in the Zoom meeting, tap the green  Share Content button on the meeting toolbar.

Select “screen”

In the content selection popup window, choose  screen .

Swipe up or press home (for broadcast control screen)

Next, swipe up or press home on your phone. This brings up the Zoom broadcast screen. Zoom should be checked by default.

Tap the “start broadcast” button

Tap the  start broadcast button to begin sharing your screen. Zoom gives you a three-second countdown before the broadcast starts. If you were muted when you tapped the Share Content button, you will get a notification that your microphone is off.

Toggle “share device audio” to on

The broadcast control screen includes an option to share your phone audio along with your screen during the Zoom meeting. In most cases it’s enabled by default. If it’s disabled, just tap the  Share Device Audio  button to toggle it to On.

Open the app you want to share

Once that’s done, just swipe up or press your home button to minimize the Zoom meeting and return to your home screen. Open the app you want to screen share in Zoom. Audio from the app will play for everyone in your Zoom meeting.

Once you’re finished, you can return to Zoom by tapping the Zoom app icon, then tap the  Stop Share  button in Zoom to stop screen sharing.

Or stop screen sharing by tapping the  red timer icon  at the top of your screen.

Once you stop sharing your screen, the icon at the top of your screen will turn green. You can tap it again to return to the Zoom meeting.

Playing music during a Zoom meeting

Playing music during a Zoom meeting might have limited application, but it’s handy for meetings where you have long periods of silence like Zoom classes or to spice up fun Zoom events like  ice breaker games .

To play music during a Zoom meeting, begin with the same steps you used to share your screen with audio on the Zoom app. Choose to share your main desktop, then open your music player and play your music while sharing your screen with the computer audio enabled.

That’s all for sharing your screen in Zoom with sound. But there’s one more tweak you can make (and help your friends make) to give the best Zoom screen sharing experience possible.

Side-by-side screen sharing on the Zoom app

You won’t notice side-by-side screen sharing when you’re sharing your own screen. But if someone else in your Zoom meeting shares their screen, side-by-side mode can be a better layout for you.

With side-by-side screen sharing in Zoom, you’ll see the person’s screen next to their camera view. That way you can see who’s talking while they present what’s on their screen.

Just pop into the Zoom app settings, go to the Share Screen settings, and check the box to enable side-by-side sharing.

FAQs for sharing your screen on Zoom

Everything you need to know to share your screen on the Zoom app like a pro.

Why can’t I screen share on Zoom?

If you can’t screen share on Zoom, it’s probably because of one of these reasons:

• The meeting host has disabled participants’ ability to share their screen
• You’re using an old version of Zoom (to screen share, use version 5.0 or higher)
• You’ve prevented Zoom from accessing your microphone and camera. (Fix this in App Permissions)

How do I Share Screen and see participants in Zoom?

When you share your screen in Zoom, you can still see participants, but they’re moved to a small vertical strip at the side of your screen. Click on the 4×4 grid icon at the top of the strip to see participants in gallery view (grid) instead. You need a minimum of six Zoom meeting participants for gallery view to work.

How do I allow others to share their screen on Zoom?

To allow others to share their screen on Zoom while a meeting is in session:

• Click the  ^ up arrow  next to the screen share icon.
• Select  advanced sharing  options.
• Toggle  all participants  in the “who can share” section.

You can make participant screen sharing the default in your Zoom app settings.

How do I change the volume of screen shared audio on Zoom?

To change the volume of the screen shared audio on Zoom, you need to change the volume on the app that’s playing the sound. Eg: If you’re sharing your screen while playing a YouTube video, adjust the volume of the video directly in YouTube.

How to Share Video With Sound on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet

Known as Dial Kashmir, she won the prestigious Nari Shakti award from the President of India. She has been writing about technology for 6+ years and her favorite categories include how-to guides, explainers, tips and tricks for Android, iOS/iPadOS, social media, and web apps.

The screen-sharing process in remote meeting apps seems quite straightforward. Press the screen share button followed by selecting the window that you want to share. That’s all. What if you are in a meeting and you share a video but the participants can’t hear anything? That can be harrowing. How does one share a video along with its audio on apps like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams? Find the answer in this post.

Let’s start with Microsoft Teams and Google Meet followed by a detailed guide for Zoom as well. Since Zoom supports sharing audio without sharing the screen, we have covered that too. As a bonus, we have also answered various popular questions regarding audio sharing in these apps at the end of the post.

Let’s get started.

How to Share Video With Audio in Microsoft Teams

For now, the feature to share your screen containing the video along with its sound in Microsoft Teams is limited to the Windows app only. You cannot use it on Mac and mobile apps (Android and iOS). Also, you will not be able to share computer audio if you are using Whiteboard in Teams or while sharing a PowerPoint file.

To share system audio in Microsoft Teams, click on the Share icon present in the bottom toolbar in a Microsoft Teams meeting. A number of options will show up. First, check the box next to Include system audio and then, choose your sharing mode.

How to Present Video With Audio in Google Meet

Until mid-April 2020, Google Meet didn’t have the capability to share system audio. Then, Google rolled out an update to introduce the functionality of adding system sound in Meet. Now, when you share a Chrome tab in Meet, you can include the system audio. So, others can hear whatever is playing in that particular tab.

Note: The functionality is limited to Chrome tabs only. You cannot share sound directly from your computer.

To use this feature, open Chrome and play a video for which you want to share the sound in the meeting. If it looks and sounds fine, open Google Meet, and join the meeting.

Click on the Present now button at the bottom and select A Chrome tab.

Select the Chrome tab from the list of tabs open. Make sure that you check the box next to Share audio at the bottom. Then, click on Share.

How to Share Video With Audio on Zoom

Since the feature is available on desktop and mobile apps, let’s check the steps separately.

Share Video With Sound on Zoom Desktop Apps

When you enable this feature, any audio that is playing on your computer will be heard by others.

Note: You cannot share computer sound when multiple screens are being shared on Zoom .

Here are the steps to share audio in Zoom:

Step 1: Join a Zoom meeting.

Step 2: Click on the Share Screen button present on the bottom toolbar.

Tip: Here’s a guide on how to know the Zoom meeting password .

Step 3: You will be shown the windows that you can share. Select the one containing your video. It can be from a browser or a video on your computer.

Then, check the box next to ‘Share computer sound’ at the bottom and hit the Share button.

Note: Others will even hear the notification and other sounds on your PC when you are sharing computer sound.

Share Computer Audio in Zoom After Sharing Screen

If you have already started sharing the screen, you don’t have to stop the sharing to play computer audio. To share or stop the computer audio after you have started sharing the screen, hover your mouse over the top edge of the screen. A toolbar will appear. Click on the three-dot icon and select Share computer sound. Repeat the steps to disable the audio.

Share Video With Sound on Zoom Mobile Apps

While the screen sharing functionality is available in the Zoom’s Android app, you cannot share audio along with it. However, things differ with the app’s iOS version where you can share your phone’s audio.

For that, you simply need to tap on the Share content button at the bottom inside a Zoom meeting. Then select Screen.

A Screen Broadcast screen will appear. Tap on Zoom and hit the Start Broadcast button. Now, play the audio or the video on your phone, and others will hear the same audio.

To stop the broadcast, tap on the top edge of the screen and choose Stop from the pop-up menu that appears. You will be taken to the Zoom broadcast screen. Tap anywhere to go back to the call.

Bonus: How to Share Computer Sound in Zoom Without Sharing Screen

It is not mandatory to share screen while sharing computer audio. What if a user wants to play background music for the live video?

Fortunately, a way exists where you can simply share computer audio without displaying anything on the Zoom screen. Yes, you can even turn off your video. Other participants in the meeting will then only see your profile picture and hear the computer audio.

To play music on Zoom without sharing the screen, follow these steps:

Step 1: Inside a Zoom meeting, click on the Share screen option at the bottom.

Step 2: Click on the Advanced tab at the top. Then, select Music or Computer Sound Only and hit the Share button.

Note: This setting works independently of Mute and Show video options. That is, the system audio will be shared even if you mute yourself.

Fix: Cannot Hear Audio From Others on Mobile in Zoom

If you are unable to hear other’s audio (both from microphone and computer sound) on your mobile, make sure you have enabled the Join Audio option on your phone. For that, simply tap on the Join Audio option present at the bottom of the meeting screen in the Zoom mobile app. Then, choose Call via Device audio.

FAQs: Computer Sound Sharing in Video Conferencing Apps

Here are some frequently asked questions regarding audio sharing in apps like Zoom, Meet, and Microsoft Teams.

Can People Hear and See You While Sharing Sound

That depends entirely on your camera and microphone settings. It’s up to you whether you want to keep them enabled or not. Those settings are independent of the computer sound sharing feature. So, you can even talk and play a video along with its sound at the same time.

How to Change Audio Volume While Sharing Computer Sound

If you change your system volume, the volume will be changed on your side only. You need to change the in-app volume to increase it for others as well. For instance, if you are playing a song through YouTube , increase the volume on YouTube.

Does Wearing Headphones Affect Computer Audio

No. You can continue wearing your headphones while sharing computer audio.

Competition Is Strong

All the three apps let you share audio with video. However, Zoom is slightly ahead of the other two for it offers the ability to share sound without sharing the screen as well. Zoom has an edge over Google Meet in terms of other features too. Even Facebook introduced the Rooms feature to compete with Zoom . Let’s see what other features will these apps bring in the future.

Next up: Zoom can make your life easier if you know how to use it to the fullest. Our ultimate guide can help you with that.

How to Share Audio on Zoom

Break the monotony of boring meetings

When you’re sharing your screen with others in a Zoom meeting , your computer’s audio is muted by default. Zoom allows you to use screen sharing to share audio with other people. This is useful if you want to watch a YouTube video with others or if you wish to play music during a break in the meeting.

If you’ve never done this before, this tutorial will show you how to share audio on Zoom. We’ll also cover how to show YouTube videos with audio to other Zoom meeting participants, and how to share music from Spotify with your audience.

How to Use Screen Sharing to Share Computer Sound on Zoom for Windows or Mac

To share computer audio on a Zoom call, you’ll need to open the app and start a new meeting. You don’t need any other participants to begin sharing your computer’s sound in Zoom. This can easily be set up before anyone else joins using Zoom’s screen sharing feature. The steps to use this feature are similar on Zoom for Windows and Mac.

Once you’ve started a new Zoom meeting, click the green Share Screen button in the meeting toolbar, located in the lower half of the window. As the name suggests, this is used for screen sharing on Zoom, but you need to enable another option each time you want to share your computer’s sound.

You can now click the checkbox next to the Share sound button in the bottom-left corner of the window. This will ensure that audio from your computer will be included when you share your screen. Select the app you want to share audio from and when you’re ready to begin sharing, click the blue Share button in the bottom-right corner of this window.

How to Adjust the Sound Quality of Audio Shared Using Screen Sharing

Zoom allows you to share computer sound in mono and stereo quality. Since the Zoom app optimizes its settings to preserve bandwidth, the default for audio shared using the screen sharing feature is mono. If you don’t like that, you can share higher-quality audio with the participants in your Zoom meeting.

To achieve this, start a Zoom meeting and click the Share Screen button. This will open the screen share window, where you can select the tiny down-arrow next to the Share sound button. You’ll see a drop-down menu with two options. To share higher quality sound from your computer, select Stereo (High-fidelity) . Click the checkbox next to the Share sound button to enable sharing computer sound on Zoom.

When you hit the Share button to begin screen sharing, meeting participants can enjoy listening to music or other audio in stereo quality.

How to Share Audio From a YouTube Video on Zoom

When you’re using Zoom to teach or for a presentation, you might want to consider watching YouTube videos with your audience. You can easily do this by combining screen sharing with Zoom’s share audio feature.

To do this, first, you should open the YouTube video on your computer. If you’ve opened the video in a browser, then ensure that the active tab has the video you want to show using screen sharing. If it’s open in a background tab, you’ll have to make an extra click, when you’re screen sharing, to open the video. You can avoid this by keeping the video in the foreground right at the beginning.

Then open Zoom, start a new meeting and press the Share Screen button. When you see the screen share window, select the YouTube video from the list of tiles and check the Share sound option.

Finally, you can click the Share button to begin watching the YouTube video with your Zoom audience through screen sharing. The video will begin once you hit the play button on YouTube.

How to Share Audio From Spotify on Zoom Via Screen Sharing

A relaxing instrumental song can act as a nice filler when you’re waiting for some participants to join the meeting, or when you’re taking a short break during a long Zoom meeting. You can use the screen sharing feature to share audio on Zoom via Spotify as well.

To accomplish this, open Spotify on your computer and find the song you want to play. You can then start a meeting on Zoom, hit the Share Screen button, and select Spotify from the list of tiles. You should remember to check the Share audio button in the bottom-left corner and then click the Share button in the bottom-right corner to begin screen sharing.

Lastly, you can click the play button in Spotify on your computer to share the song via Zoom.

How To Share Audio on Zoom for iPhone and iPad

You can use the Zoom screen sharing feature to share audio from your iPhone or iPad too. This is quite easy to enable because the moment you start sharing your screen, device audio from your Apple device is automatically shared with those who are in the Zoom meeting.

So, just start a new meeting on Zoom for iOS or iPadOS and tap the green Share Content button. You can select Screen from the list of options and then tap Start Broadcast to begin screen sharing from Zoom for iPhone or iPad. When you do this, you’ll see a blue button labeled Share Device Audio: On , which means that you’re sharing audio on Zoom from your iPhone or iPad.

To stop sharing audio, tap the red Stop Share button. This will end screen sharing in the Zoom session.

How To Stop Sharing Computer Sound in Zoom

When you’re done screen sharing on Zoom, you can stop sharing so that your audience’s attention can return from the Spotify song or YouTube video to you. To stop sharing your screen, click the red Stop Share button at the top of the screen. This button appears next to the green You are screen sharing button.

When you click the red button, Zoom will immediately stop sharing your computer’s sound and video with other meeting participants.

How To Share Audio on Zoom for Android

On Android too, the Zoom screen sharing feature allows you to share audio from your device with other participants in the meeting. The only difference is that audio sharing is turned off by default on Zoom for Android.

Participants can't hear video that I show within a power-point presentation (screen shared)

Hello, In my meetings I’m using a shared screen and Power-Point presentations.

In my last meeting, I put a 2 minutes video within the power-point presentation.

All participants could see the short video, but could not hear it. Only me, as a host could hear the video. I used earphone set.

This is the link to the recording of that meeting: https://zoom.us/recording/play/7UJ-6QwV-TAJ0n7CTlHepfOz_uaua0mVsFOn6tBy67HVj_9Zex9RkredFjlYyi_E?autoplay=true

The short video start at 51:28

Does usage of earphone by the host cause this problem ?

Hi Idan, there is a “share audio” option in the sharing UI. Make sure you select that and re-test it please.

Hi, I can’t find it in the features. Can you please help me.

Thank you, Cohav

Hi @cohavc91 ,

Thanks for the reply. You could follow the instruction here to locate the feature: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362643-Sharing-Computer-Sound-During-Screen-Sharing

I’m having the same problem. I have a PowerPoint presentation with a built-in video which has audio. The video with audio plays fine on all my laptops. When I share screen to share the PowerPoint on Zoom I click on ‘share audio’ in the bottom left so the tick appears. I then share the screen and click on the three dots (More) along the Zoom taskbar and tick ‘share computer sound’. This allows me to play a separate pre-recorded video with sound to the meeting participants. However, it will not play the sound in the PowerPoint video, even though the PowerPoint audio plays through any laptop that I try it on ie it’s only through Zoom that the video doesn’t have audio.

Is there a third setting somewhere that I need to activate, in order to play the PowerPoint sound?

I have the same issue. Only I as the presenter can hear the audio in the slideshow…any fix ?

Hi @gillwilson2 , @aly ,

Thanks for the post and pardon the late response. Are you facing this issue with Zoom client or Zoom SDK? If this issue happens with Zoom client, since this is out of the scope of what this forum is for(This forum is for Marketplace Apps) and we have no insight to the questions in Zoom clien, please try to contact Zoom client support at https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/requests/new and one of the Zoom experts will be happy to assist you. If this issue happens with Zoom Windows SDK, could you provide the SDK version, and the steps to reproduce this issue with our demo app?

aly , can you share lease the software you used for making the slideshow?

I can share with you one that I used when I was preparing for my mom’s birthday. I wanted to make a surprise for her so I called all our relatives grandparents, cousins, uncles and aunts and their childre and organized a surprise party. In the end I showed the slideshow I made from all the photos I had of my mother and all my family. (maybe you didn’t want to read this story, so sorry for taking your time :D). Here is the software I used https://www.fastreel.com/slideshow-maker.html .

Hey @petr.ivn ,

Thanks for sharing that!

Thanks! Michael

Hi, I face the same problem. The solution suggested by Zoom Team does not work!!! The audio sounds from the Powerpoint presentation do not work in the Zoom presentation. My workaround was to just use Google Slides. You can simply import Powerpoint slides into Google which automatically convert. BUT you need to copy over any video clips from your slides and store them in google drive. You may need to do slight modification in google slides as it does not have the full feature of Powerpoint. I realize the video performance in this manner is much better during the presentation.

Hey @chongpoh ,

Thanks for using the dev forum!

I am sorry you are facing issue with the audio during a powerpoint presentation. Are you using the Zoom Windows SDK or the Zoom Windows application?

Same issue! I didn’t resolve it yet…

Hey @janeed ,

Are you using the Zoom Windows SDK or the Zoom Windows application?

Hmm, that sounds strange. I had problems like that. The easier way to complete it was a simple restart of the zoom or even of the PC. Restarting an old computer could take some time if you get what I say. Recently I got promoted to another company that didn’t want to work on zoom because their old experience wasn’t that pleasant. After a while, they somehow hired brightvisionevents.co.uk for further work in groups. It was a time ago, and I still can’t forget working for that company.

Hey @weasd ,

This forum is for SDK developer questions only.

Hey Staff! Don’t you want to help your customers???

HERE IS THE PROBLEM!

Audio in a PPT played in ZOOM is broadcast through the presenter’s computer’s speaker. From there the computer’s microphone picks it up and sends it to your audience. The transmission of the audio through the air to the microphone kills the volume by 90%!

Why don’t ZOOM programmers tell us this???

ZOOM always transmits the audio it picks up through its default microphone or the microphone you plug in to your audience, If there is a software switch that electrically connects the audio-out to the audio-in, there’s no way to get around this. If you manage to find a way to make the connection, than you CANNOT also speak “live” to your audience.

Hey @Gessler ,

Thanks for the reply…

I used to write complex systems and evolutionary applicatons in C++. However, I don’t know the inside outs of Zoom. I only use it as a participant in conferences, so I guess I’m using the application in Windows and not a systems developer kit.

It appears that a participant can share his one screen image and only one audio stream. Maybe there’s a software method to feed the audio stream embedded in PPT directly into the audio stream destined for the sharing audience? Or maybe I could do it with hardware plug-ins if I knew the schematics of the PC’s interior (i.e. how the internal PC mike and speakers are connected to the external sockets for and ad-on mike and headphone). And maybe there’s a way to build a mixer? The problem is that the audio from the PPT is transduced to an air-gap and transduced back into a digital signal. It’s the air gap that causes the problem. Anyway, that’s the only explanation that makes sense. Do you have a better one? I’ll keep experimenting…

I get what you’re saying. Unfortunately, we can only provide support for Zoom SDK Developers on this forum. However, you should check out Zoom Help Center .

How to Give a Presentation on Zoom? [A Step-by-Step Guide!]

By: Author Shrot Katewa

If you’ve never used Zoom, giving a presentation on it might seem a bit challenging. But, that’s a challenge we will have to learn to overcome as the world moves digital more and more day by day. The key question really is how to give a presentation on Zoom!

To give a presentation on Zoom, first, start by joining a meeting. Now open the presentation file on your computer and share the slides on Zoom using its “Share Screen” feature. You should test your camera, mic, speaker, and internet connection before you start with your presentation.

As easy as it may seem, some of you may need further detailed instructions. So, in this article, I will provide a step-by-step guide on things that you need to do in order to deliver a presentation on Zoom successfully! Plus, I will also share some tips that can help you ace your presentation on Zoom!

So, without any further delay, let’s get started!

Understanding the Zoom Application Interface

Before we understand the steps to give a presentation using Zoom, it is perhaps a good idea to acquaint yourself with the Zoom user interface first. If you are well-versed with it, then perhaps you may want to skip this section and click here instead.

Logging into Zoom

Although you can login to your account using zoom website too, but it is best to download and use the zoom app .

Once you have download the app, you will be prompted to login to your account. If you don’t have an existing account, you can either sign up or even login using your social account such as Google or Facebook. It’s actually quite simple.

If you feel that you don’t want to sign up or even use the social accounts for your meeting, you can choose to use “Sign In with SSO” option. SSO stands for single sign on and this allows you to sign in even when you don’t have an account with Zoom just once.

Zoom Home Screen

Once you’ve logged in, you will be taken to the home screen on Zoom.

There are a bunch of different things that you ca do with the home screen on Zoom. If you have been invited for a meeting, you will need to click on “ Join “. However, you will also need the meeting ID and the password for the meeting. If you don’t have the details, you will perhaps need to contact the person hosting the meeting.

You can also host the meeting yourself by using the “ New Meeting ” button. You can set a new meeting and invite others to join using this option.

Likewise, you can also schedule a meeting in the future using the “ Schedule ” option.

Furthermore, for changing the account related information, just click on your profile picture in the top-right corner of your window.

Lastly, there are several other detailed settings that you can tweak for your Zoom application. Almost all the other settings can be found in the “ Settings ” section by clicking on the “ Gear Icon “.

Zoom Virtual Meeting Window Interface

Once you are a participant in a virtual meeting, either by joining an existing meeting or by starting a new meeting, you will be greeted with an image similar to the one mentioned above.

On this screen, you will be presented with several different options. Some of the key functions that you will need to be aware of are as follows –

• Mute – Turning on the Mute or Unmute
• Video – Toggling between your Video
• Participants – Checking the names of the Participants
• Share Screen – to deliver a presentation (more on this later)
• Record – To record a meeting session
• End – Knowing how to end a meeting and exiting a call.

All the above functions will be visible on a small bar at the bottom of the window. If you are not able to see this option bar at the bottom, just hover over at the bottom part of your screen and all the options will appear .

Although there are other features that are also available for a zoom user or a participant, however, the aforementioned features should be good enough to deliver a presentation. These 6 features are at the very least something that you should be aware of.

How to Give a Presentation on Zoom (Step-by-Step)

Zoom has become a common tool for giving virtual presentations today. It is a widely used tool at conferences, meetings, and other events! If you are giving a presentation on Zoom for the first time, then perhaps you should be aware of a few things –

Here is a quick step-by-step guide on how you can give a presentation on Zoom:

Step 1: Install Zoom

Download and install the Zoom application to your desktop. To download the application, visit https://zoom.us/download and download the Zoom Client to your computer.

Step 2: Login to your Zoom Account

After installing the application, open it and log into your Zoom account. If you don’t have one, you can sign up for free using your email account.

Zoom also has options to sign in using SSO (Single Sign-On) or with your Facebook or Google account.

Step 3: Test Audio and Video Settings

Before you start or join a meeting, you will need to configure and test your audio and video settings.

To do that click on the gear icon on the Zoom application’s home screen. This will open the settings menu.

Now click on the “Audio” tab and select the microphone you are going to use. Try our different audio settings. After the microphone, select the speaker for audio output. If you can’t hear anything, try out another speaker source.

After configuring audio, click on the “Video” tab. From there, select the camera that is connected to your desktop. Tweak different video settings and find out what works best for you.

Step 4: Join or Schedule a Meeting

Now start a meeting by clicking on “New meeting”. You can also schedule a meeting on Zoom. To do that, click on “Schedule” and set up when you want to start the meeting. After completing the set-up, Zoom will give you a URL. Share it with the team members to join the meeting.

Or you can join a meeting by clicking “Join” on the Zoom client’s home screen. You can use a meeting ID or URL to join a meeting in Zoom.

Step 5: Open the Presentation

Once you have everything setup, you then need to prepare to show your presentation with your audience. To do that, open the presentation slides on your computer.

Step 6: Share Your Presentation

The last step in giving your presentation is to make sure that you share your presentation with your audience. To do that, click on “Share Screen” from the Zoom clients meeting window , select the screen where your presentation slides are open, and click “Share”. Now start presenting your slides to the audience.

Step 7: Stop Sharing to end the Presentation

One thing to know is how to end the presentation. To stop screen sharing, simply click on “Stop Share” located at the top of the screen . This option will only appear when you start sharing your screen.

How to Share a PowerPoint with Presenter View on Zoom?

To share your PowerPoint presentation slides with presenter view on Zoom, follow the steps given below:

Step 1: Open the Zoom App and Login

The first step really is to open the zoom app and login to your account.

Step 2: Join or Setup a Virtual Meeting on Zoom

Next, join the meeting. Remember, you need the meeting ID and password to join a meeting. Make sure you have requested for the details beforehand.

Step 3: Open Your PowerPoint Presentation

First step is really to open your presentation file that you want to present on the PowerPoint application.

Step 4: Put the Presentation in Presenter View

Now select the “Slide Show” tab from the top of the screen and click on either “From Beginning” or “From Current Slide” depending on your preference. This will open the slides in the “Presenter” view.

Step 5: Switch to the Zoom Application

Now, go to the Zoom application, start or join a meeting. While you are in the “Presenter” view on PowerPoint, press “ Alt+Tab ” to switch between applications in Microsoft Windows-powered computers. For iMac, use “Command+Tab” to move through open apps.

Step 6: Share Screen on Zoom’s Meeting Window

Once you are in Zoom’s meeting window, click on “Share Screen”, select the window where your PowerPoint slides are open in the presenter’s view, and click “Share”.

And that’s all you have to do in order to share PowerPoint with the presenter’s view in your Zoom meetings.

How to Share PowerPoint on Zoom Without Showing Notes?

There are two methods that you can use to share PowerPoint slides on Zoom without sharing your presenter notes. For the first method, you will need to have two monitors connected to your computer.

As for the second one, you can still share your PowerPoint slides on Zoom without sharing your notes (and you won’t need two monitors either). I’ve briefly explained both methods below.

Method 1 – Dual Monitor Method

In this method, you will be presenting your PowerPoint file on one monitor while looking at your presenter’s notes on the other one. Here’s how you can do that:

Step 1: First of all, open your slides on PowerPoint.

Step 2: Now join or start a Zoom meeting.

Step 3: Now click on “Share Screen” and select “Screen 1”. Then click “Share”. Here, “Screen 1” is your primary monitor.

Note: If you are not sure which one is your primary monitor, select where the PowerPoint file opened in.

Step 4: Now go to the PowerPoint application, click on the “Slide Show” tab, and from there click on “Monitor” and select “Primary Monitor”.

Step 5: Open the presentation file in the presenter’s view by clicking on the “Slide Show” tab and selecting “From Beginning” or “From Current Slide”.

If you have done everything correctly, participants will only be able to see the presentation slides while you have your presenter’s notes open on the second monitor.

In case you shared the wrong monitor on Zoom, click on “Screen Share” on Zoom’s meeting window, select “Screen 2” and click on share. This should fix your problem.

When you are sharing a screen on Zoom, you will notice a green border around that screen. This indicates which monitor you are currently sharing.

Method 2 – Sharing Portion of Your Screen

Follow the steps below if you have only a single monitor connected to your computer.

Step 1: Join or start a meeting on Zoom.

Step 2: Click on “Share Screen” and from the pop-up window select “Advanced”. From there select “Portion of Screen” and click on “Share”. This will give you a green border on your screen that you can adjust. Only the things that are inside this border will be shared on Zoom.

Step 3: Now open the presentation file in PowerPoint, and go to the presenter’s view by selecting “Slide Show> From Current Slide or From Beginning”.

Step 4: Adjust the size of the green border so that it only shows the presentation slides in the presenter’s view.

And that’s all you have to do. By doing so, your audience will only see the slides that you are presenting, but not your notes.

How to Show Yourself During a Zoom Presentation?

Ensuring that you are visible from time to time during a presentation can make it slightly more engaging and much more interactive. Here is how you can do that-

Step 1: First, start or join a Zoom meeting.

Step 2: Click on “ Share Screen ” and select the “ Advanced ” option. From there, select “ PowerPoint as Virtual Background ” and select the file you want for your presentation. Then click on “ Share ”.

Step 3: Make sure your video is switched on so that you are also visible to your audience. You can do that by clicking on “ Start Video ” on the Zoom Virtual Meeting Interface.

It will take some time for your slides to appear on the Zoom client. When it is done, participants will be able to see your face in front of the slides in Zoom. Make sure that your camera is connected to your computer and configured correctly.

This feature works best if you have a green screen behind you . If you have one, go to Zoom’s settings menu, select the “Background and Filter” tab and check “I have a green screen”. If you want to stop showing yourself during a zoom presentation, click on “Stop Video” on the meeting window and that will do the job.

Furthermore, you may sometimes want to show just yourself to the audience and not show the presentation at all. For that, all you need to do is simply click on “Start Video” in the Zoom Virtual Meeting Interface.

How to Record a Presentation on Zoom?

If you want to record your presentation on Zoom, you can do it easily. After joining or starting a meeting on Zoom, click on the “Record” icon located at the bottom of the meeting window. Once the recording starts, you can pause the recording or stop it whenever you like.

After the end of the meeting, the recorded video will be automatically converted into “.mp4” format and stored on your computer.

Tips for Giving an Awesome Presentation on Zoom

Giving a presentation in front of an audience is always a challenging task. Especially if it is online, many things can go wrong during your presentation. This is why I’m sharing some tips that can help you deliver an awesome presentation on Zoom. These are as follows –

1. Make a Professional Looking Presentation

There are several ways to make your presentation look really professional and high quality. One obvious method is to outsource your presentation to a specialised design agency! But, that can become really expensive depending on your budget.

Another (non-obvious) option is to use a PowerPoint Presentation Template! There are several high-quality and professional templates that you can get quite easily! In fact, using these Presentation Designs is quite inexpensive! You can download as many presentation templates as you want for as little as $16.5/month!

My favorite one is Agio PowerPoint Presentation template. It is perfectly suited to give a professional look to your presentation and yet it is quite quick and easy to use. Check out some of the images below –

Agio PowerPoint Presentation Template

Furthermore, make the presentation as simple and straightforward as possible. Do not confuse your audience with a network of colorful texts, graphs, or other contents.

Only use data and graphs that are relevant to your presentation. Also, the clever use of transition animations can make the slide appear much more engaging.

2. Check Your Equipment Beforehand

Whenever you are giving your presentation online, many things can go wrong. For example, your camera or mic may not function properly. Such interruptions will only make you a laughing stock in front of the participants.

Check your mic, camera, and speakers to find out whether they are working properly or not. Also, check your internet connection and your laptop’s battery level. If everything is ok, then you are good to go on with your presentation.
