    Tips for Live Performances over Zoom

-A wired internet connection with an Ethernet cable is often better than wi-fi.

-An external microphone is better than a built-in microphone since it has a wider frequency and dynamic range. Make sure your microphone is set to "automatically adjust microphone volume" in your Audio Settings.

-Make sure you have turned on Original Sound. To do this, go to your Audio Settings, scroll down to the Music and Professional Audio section, and click the box that says "Show in meeting option to turn on Original Sound." Once you have selected this option, exit your audio settings. You should see a box in the upper left-hand corner of your screen that says "Turn on Original Sound." You want Original Sound to be on, so make sure the box turns blue. 

Tips for Pre-Recorded (Video) Performances 

-We recommend you record in 1080p or 720p. This is the default for most smartphones.

-An external microphone is better than a built-in microphone since it has a wider frequency and dynamic range.   

-If you are recording on a smartphone, place your phone in the 'landscape' or horizontal orientation for best results.
