Question

Is there a way to prioritize the voice of one user?

At the ZOOM meeting, it seems that up to 3 people can play the voice at the same time, and when the 4th person makes a voice, the voice of the first voice is cut.
Is there a way to keep giving priority to the sound of this first sounding thing?

To be specific

Playing music from a single user while sharing slides during a meeting
Because we are sharing slides, we cannot share separate audio.
In this case, two users can speak in addition to the user playing the music, but the music will be cut as soon as the third user speaks.

To revive it, let ZOOM recognize that it will make a sound by stopping it and then playing it or raising the volume.

Ideally, I want the music to continue to play in the background even if multiple users speak.
Is there a good way?

Hi @warasi 

 

Shared Computer audio should act as a "bed" and not be interrupted (or "ducked") when other people are speaking.

 

How are you sharing your slides in a way you cannot share audio - are you sharing a file, rather than sharing a screen or window?

 

Is the music imbedded in your slides, or is it from a separate source?

 

Making sure your participants microphones are at a similar volume levels can also help.

 

Making sure everyone not speaking stays muted in Zoom can help.

 

Making sure everyone is using earphones can also help - so Zoom is not hearing your music come out of the speakers of the people who are trying to talk.

 

There will be a way of getting this work satisfactorily for you.

Hello @Rupert ,

you wrote:

In my case, this is not working. I would like to, but it is not. Shared Computer Audio is ducked (and kind of muffled) when someone else in the meeting says something. It looks like Zoom gives a priority to the someone's microphone  over shared Computer Audio. I need to share my Computer Audio without ducking. How to accomplish this? Thank you!

Hi Jozef did you find any kind of solution for this ???

 

I also want to play background music as a host, but having other participant speaking over it, and it always cuts background music as soon as speaking starts!!
