Hello and thank you for the warm welcome. I've used Zoom off and on for a couple years, and am trying to take some of the courses in the Zoom Learning Center in order to both better familiarize myself and help out a sister. Both of us are screen reader users, and really appreciate all the hard work that has gone into Zoom development.

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??

[bevpie]

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