Question

How do we disable audio when starting a meeting.

Our non profit for years have done meetings weekly. We use a cell phone to show actions happening and a computer for video audio chat. Until recently when connecting the cell phone it would ask to connect to audio and we would say no. Now it auto connects to audio causing insane reverb and we are unable to have our meetings. Zoom tech support has been useless. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi @JJkeeper 

    To minimize disruptions , consider muting your audio as soon as you join a meeting - this is a temporary solution but can help prevent initial disturbances.

    For a more permanent solution, you can disable audio by default when joining meetings through Zoom's settings, although this may require manual re-enabling each time. To do this, open Zoom's settings, navigate to the Audio tab, and check the box labeled "Mute my microphone when joining a meeting." This will automatically mute your audio upon joining, and allowing you to enable it only when necessary

     

    Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
    Thank you very much and have a great one!
    Warm regards
