Getting Connected
Below we will go over some of the common software apps and where you can change the mic input settings within
those apps if needed. Just like with the computer itself, many of the apps we use will automatically change the input
source, but here is what to look for if you have issues.
Zoom
The most popular video conference app of 2020, Zoom will actually perform a step by step set-up with you to select
your output and input if you select “Test Speaker and Microphone” before joining a meeting.
For speakers (output) set to USB 2.0 Device if you want to hear the audio through headphones connected to the
streamer.
If you’ve already changed your computer’s input and output device as stated on the previous page of this manual,
you can also select “Same as System”.
Speak into the microphone briefly, you should see the microphone meter light up, and it will playback your voice for
the purpose of testing the mic.
If you need to change the mic input while you are already in a meeting for any reason, look for the microphone
symbol on the bottom left of the Zoom window. Click the up arrow to bring up a menu and see your current
microphone and speaker selections. Select “USB2.0 Device” for your microphone, or if you have changed the input
setting for your computer you can select “Same as System”
