[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 31449, member: 2672"] What I have learnt from using Zoom over the past 4 months: [SIZE=4][B][U]Mute and unmute your mic quickly using the space bar[/U][/B][/SIZE] If you have to follow just one tip for Zoom then let it be this one. When there are too many participants in a meeting, it’s hard to hear everyone because of cross-talk and background noise. But you can reverse this behaviour by a simple hack.
