Zoom Updates Enhance Meetings with Integratedโข Music Options
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Zoom is expanding its capabilities beyond video conferencing, now offeringโ multipleโ ways too integrate audio and โmusic โdirectly intoโฃ meetings, fostering more โขengaging and dynamic virtual experiences. While previously requiring workarounds, Zoom now provides several built-inโ features to share audio, enhancing interactivityโค and reducing meetingโค monotony.
Here are five methods to add โขmusicโ to your Zoomโ Meetings:
1. Share Computer Sound during Screen Sharing: Theโฃ most common method involves sharing your computer’s audio alongside your screen. Initiate screen sharing,โค then โselect the “Share Sound”โ checkbox in the โsharing โoptions window. This allows any audio playing on your โคcomputerโค – music, sound โeffects, โor presentation audio – to be heard by all participants.
2. โActivate Audioโ Sharing Post-Share: You don’tโฃ need to enable audio sharingโข before starting to share your screen. after screen sharing hasโค begun, access the sharing toolbar,โ click “more,” and selectโ “share Sound” to activate audio โคtransmission.
3.โ Mono or Stereo Sound Settings: Zoom allows adjustment of the shared audio quality.Within the sharing toolbar’s “More” menu, usersโค can selectโฃ between mono andโค stereo soundโ sharing modes, tailoring the audio experienceโ to their needs.
4. Utilize Virtual Background Music (Third-Party Integration): While not a native Zoom feature, integrating โขthird-party applications like Spotifyโ or Apple Music alongside screen sharing โขallows for โdirect music playback and sharing via the “Shareโข Sound” option.
5. Manage Audio โFeedback with Telephone Participants: When participants join via telephone โคalongside computer audio, potential feedback loops can occur. To mitigate this, Zoom recommends disabling either the telephone โspeakers โขor computer speakers to prevent audio โฃfrom cycling betweenโข devices.
These featuresโ support a range of applications, from providingโ background musicโข while waiting for attendees to โคjoin to enriching presentations with โคrelevant sound effects. (support.zoom.com/Z-10)
