- Use the “settings” which looks like a cogwheel symbol near the top left of the Zoom screen. This will allow you to set up your headphones or computer speakers.
- Allow Zoom to access your headphones (external) or computer speakers (internal).
- Turn off pop-up blockers temporarily or allow it to accept pop-ups from Zoom.
- On a Mac, if you still cannot hear and you’ve followed the steps preceding, on your keyboard, click “command” + M to unmute.
- Check your audio that your speakers are not muted in your computer settings
- Turn the audio sound up on your volume on your headset or computer speakers.
- During the talk participants will have their sound muted which means they cannot speak, but this will not affect their ability to hear the audio in the session.
- To send a private chat to the host, click on the chat icon along the bottom of the Zoom window, choose the host's name from the drop-down list in the "To:" field, and you can send a private message to ask for technical assistance.
- Tip for connection issues: pause streaming on other devices in your home and close other tabs or applications on your computer so that more of your home's internet capacity is available for Zoom.

- Log in 30 minutes early to have the moderator check your audio connection.
