I’m really annoyed with this "Original Sound for Musicians" thing defaulting to off every time. I teach vocal lessons on Zoom daily, and it’s a hassle to switch it on for every session. My students aren’t great with tech, and I’m tired of walking them through it—half the time they forget, and the sound ends up awful. It used to stay on before, and that worked perfectly for us music folks. Now it feels like Zoom doesn’t care about what we need.

I get that some people might not want it on all the time, but why not just give us a setting to make it our default? It’s such a simple fix. I’ve been digging around for workarounds since I’m on a Mac—someone mentioned an MSI installer, but that’s Windows-only, so no luck there. One thing I’ve tried is keeping a checklist for my students to follow before lessons, but they still mess it up sometimes. Another idea might be setting up a Zoom profile with audio presets, but I’m not sure if that’s even possible yet—has anyone tested that?

I’m new to this forum and plan to stick around. Hoping we can keep pushing Zoom to bring back the option to save this setting. If anyone’s found a better trick for Mac users, please share—I’d love to hear it!

Best option seems to be to Download a free copy of WEBEX and give that a try.

Zoom are ignoring this request.
