What technical requirements do I need to participate with Zoom?
You need internet access, a headset (alternatively headphones or earphones with microphone) and a webcam for the online course.
How can I test Zoom in advance?
I am not audible to everyone/not everyone hears me.
You can attend a Zoom test meeting to familiarise yourself with Zoom and test your equipment before attending a MacAlbatros Academy language activity or course. Just click here: https://zoom.us/test
If this does not help, leave the conference and join again.
My headphones/speakers or microphone are not working.
To test the function of your devices in the browser you can visit the following site: onlinemictest.com/en
My connection is unstable.
If necessary, switch off the video transmission.
