In meetings and webinar it is sometimes necessary to provide a high quality audio setting rather than computer microphone/speakers.
Here is how to do that:
- You must be and admin user (host or co-host)
- Install a good PC video player (VLC Player works well)
- Start the meeting/webinar and go to the audio settings and click to enable original sound
- This enables but does not start original (pc) sound.
- When in the meeting/webinar
- Go to VLC and find the video file and queue it up in full screen paused at the beginning but don't start it
- Alt-Tab to Zoom (find it in open windows)
- Mute all participants (as this original sound is notorious for echoes if anybody else makes sounds)
- Click the zoom screen option in upper right of live window 'Turn Original Sound On'
- Start 'Share' and pick the VLC player from the windows offered to share and click Share
- Optimize for full screen if not already so
- Click in the VLC window to change computer focus
- Start video (this can be done easily with the sound bar if you have paused it at beginning)
- When video is done, click 'stop share'
- Return to the zoom window and click 'Turn Original Sound Off'
- Go back to the player and stop video as needed (this may distract you but will not be on others zoom)
