Zoom – Background Noise Suppression
The Zoom client has settings that allow the utilization of noise suppression, which can help remove distracting sounds that can be picked up by participants’ microphones. Background noise like paper crunching, keyboard typing, fan humming, and dog barking can be filtered out to create a better meeting experience. By default, Zoom automatically applies background noise reduction, however the settings can be adjusted to be more or less aggressive based on the environment.
- Within the Zoom meeting, select the caret (^) from the microphone icon and choose Audio Settings.
- Under the Suppress Background Noise section, choose your preferred level of noise suppression.
Zoom – Additional Virtual Backgrounds Available
Central Rivers AEA has recently added several additional virtual Zoom backgrounds to the available bank of options. The virtual background feature allows users to display an image or video as your background during a meeting.
- Within the Zoom meeting, select the caret (^) from the camera icon and select Choose Virtual Background.
- Within the Background & Filters section, choose your preferred virtual background.
Zoom – Security Updates
