Hi Zoom Community,

I’m having some challenges with my Zoom meetings and would greatly appreciate your advice on improving overall meeting quality and troubleshooting specific issues. Here’s a summary of the problems I’m encountering and what I’ve tried so far:

Current Setup:

• Zoom Version: Zoom Desktop Client (Version 5.10.1)
• Operating System: Windows 11
• Internet Connection: Fiber Optic (200 Mbps download / 100 Mbps upload)
• Hardware: Logitech C920 Webcam, Blue Yeti Microphone, and Bose QuietComfort Headphones

Issues Encountered:

1. Audio Problems: I frequently experience audio lag and echo during meetings. Participants often report difficulty hearing me clearly.
2. Video Quality: The video quality sometimes drops, resulting in blurry or pixelated images. This happens even though my internet connection is stable.
3. Screen Sharing: When I share my screen, the shared content occasionally lags or freezes for other participants.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

• Updated Software: Ensured that both Zoom and my operating system are up-to-date.
• Checked Hardware: Verified that my webcam and microphone are properly connected and functioning.
• Network Check: Performed speed tests to confirm that my internet connection is stable.
• Adjusted Settings: Tested different audio and video settings within Zoom.

Questions:

1. Improving Audio Quality: What are the best practices for ensuring clear and consistent audio during Zoom meetings? Are there specific settings or equipment adjustments that can help?
2. Enhancing Video Quality: How can I improve video quality and reduce issues like blurriness or pixelation? Are there settings or configurations that could help stabilize video performance?
3. Troubleshooting Screen Sharing: What steps can I take to address lag or freezing during screen sharing? Are there known issues with screen sharing that I should be aware of?
4. Optimizing Zoom Performance: Are there any additional tips or tools you recommend for optimizing overall Zoom performance, especially for professional and high-stakes meetings?

I’m keen to resolve these issues to ensure smooth and professional Zoom meetings. Any advice or insights you can provide would be incredibly helpful!
