How to test audio before zoom meetings

1. Using the underlying audio test of the zoom

• Open the zoom and go to the Settings> Audio.

• Click on “Test Speaker” to check the sound output.

• Select the “Test Mike” and speak in your microphone.

2. Using an online mic test

• Open a mic test with a playback tool, such as themictest.com.

• Click on the Start Test button.

• Speak on the microphone and check if the tool detects your voice.

• Listen to the playback to ensure clear and noise-free sound. 

3. Checking System Sound Settings

• On Windows, go to Settings> Sound and check the input/output device.
• On Mac, Open System Preferences> Adjust the sound and mic levels. 

4. Using a headset for better sound

• A wired or Bluetooth headset improves the quality of MIC.

• Ensure that the headset is chosen as an input device in the zoom. 

5. Background noise

• Use the “pressed background noise” feature of Zoom in audio settings.

• Choose a cool place and avoid echo-prone places. 

Final check: Use an online mic test

Before joining your meeting, run a quick online mic test to confirm your audio setup. This ensures that your voice is clear and the background noise is minimal. Take a few minutes to test the audio before zoom.
