SET THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS IN 'VIDEO SETTINGS' WITHIN ZOOM.

1. Under ‘camera’, choose the camera that you’re using.
2. Under that choose ‘HD’
3. Under My Video, CHECK ‘Mirror my video’ if when you move to the left, your monitor shows you moving to the right.
4. UNCHECK ‘Touch up my appearance’ (it can make you look really strange at times)
5. UNCHECK ‘Adjust for Low Light’ (again, it can make you look really strange at times). Find a way to use more light, but remember, backlighting is your enemy.
6. UNCHECK ‘Always display participant’s name on their video. (We use lower third graphics and they can visually compete)
7. Turn off video when joining meeting (optional)
8. Always show video preview dialog (optional)
9. Hide non-video participants (like audio only connections by phone) (optional)
10. Hide Self View (optional)
11. CHECK ‘Enable Stop Incoming Video feature’ (optional) (preserves bandwidth and avoids mental fatigue from viewing multiple, active video participants.)

Under the ‘Advanced’ tab
CHECK all boxes and leave everything else on ‘auto’
