:* Find a quiet room, where you can speak out loud and without interruption.
:* Wear headphones! The audio in your room can create an echo, so it's best if you use a pair of headphones that have an audio input close to your mouth. Using ipod earbuds, for example, that do not have an audio input will default to using your computer's audio input… which can cause reverb in your room. If you are wearing earbuds, but still hear an echo… ask the people you are talking with to wear a headset with similar audio input.
:* Mute: Most meetings will have as a default setting to mute your audio upon arrival. This way, there is minimal disruption as new participants join. When on mute, you can hold down the spacebar to speak, much like a walkie-talkie. Please be aware that there is a small delay, so try counting to two before you begin speaking. Those who are not talking should be on mute, especially if multiple people are dialing from the same room. Please note that there are two different mute settings: computer mute versus Zoom mute: If you put your computer's sound on mute, you won't be able to hear the videoconference. What we're referring to is the mute setting within the Zoom window.
:* Dial in by phone. Finally, you can solve echo problems or connect to the call while on the go by using the phone dial-in option. Simply dial the Zoom toll-free number using a cell phone or landline +1 833 302 1536 / 877 853 5257 (US, Canada, Caribbean Toll Free) and enter the meeting ID and the password. The meeting ID are the numbers in your Zoom link / URL. Moderators can ask participants who have a problematic connection to keep their video on and dial in by phone.<br><br>
'''Video:''' If possible, dial into sessions from a device equipped with a webcam. This virtual face to face environment helps develop interpersonal relationships between participants. <br>
