With Zoom – shinywhitebox help

Welcome!

Welcome :)

This video covers:

Setting up so you can send both your mic & computer audio output over the call.
Setting up Zoom for the above

Key points:

00:37 - initial setup
00:50 - what we're trying to avoid (hearing computer audio sound via the mic)
01:25 - getting computer audio into zoom
02:32 - routing mic audio into the capture, so zoom can hear it
03:30 - use a headset to avoid echo (your mic picking up computer audio)

In short, you want to use SWB Audio Capture as the microphone input in zoom.

This means zoom will "hear" all the audio from your computer, assuing that you have your Sound | Output in System Preferences set to SWB Audio Capture.

To add the microphone, use SWB Audio App. Choose a microphone device within the 'Microphone' section, and enable 'Route mic -> SWB Audio Capture'.

SWB Audio App will then send the microphone audio to the driver as well, so that zoom hears both your computer audio and the microphone. It's also smart enough that it does not send the microphone to the preview.

This means you can use SWB Audio App to:

Set the default device (System Preferences | Sound | Output) for you
Preview computer audio to your headset
Route the microphone to Zooom so other people on the call can hear you

all with the click of the preview switch (the big red/green switch), from the top menu bar.

Easy! :)
