My first inquiry - I teach yoga virtually and would like to play music in background when conducting a class.  But the music does not come through to my students clearly - sound is sketchy and mufflied.   What can I do??

Check your audio settings. You probably want them set to Original Sound for Musicians.

@labass7 Welcome! I'd imagine watching a Zoom theatre production would be like watching a movie where you could see everyone's reactions 😁
