Скачать или смотреть Streaming Workouts With Zoom [Step-by-Step Tutorial]

This tutorial is for fitness professionals wanting to use Zoom to stream workouts. This video goes step-by-step into sharing computer audio during a workout, and tips to improve the quality of your streamed service. Zoom is an excellent tool for meetings, gatherings, and streaming workouts. More tools can be unlocked with a purchased Zoom account, but this tutorial uses a free account.

What is Zoom?
Zoom is a video conferencing platform that is vital for online trainers. It allows trainers to conduct live workout sessions, host consultations, and provide real-time feedback to clients via video calls. With features like screen sharing, breakout rooms, and a user-friendly interface, Zoom facilitates interactive and engaging training experiences. Trainers can connect with clients from anywhere, making maintaining a personal touch in virtual sessions easy. Additionally, Zoom’s recording feature enables trainers to share session recordings or provide clients with additional resources, enhancing the overall value of their training programs.

Ways to Improve the Online Experience
One of the more underutilized quick-fix items you can do is improve the lighting. The cameras on a computer aren’t always the best, but utilizing natural light, studio light, or a home light stand can make a difference. You can consider opening a window, or if streaming in the garage, consider opening the garage door. Studio lights on Amazon can also be a nice investment if you want to add online training to your services.

Microphones are a pay for what you get item and can be used for future tutorials if you’re building a library of videos. From our research, the consensus seemed to be that the Rode Go microphone is the top-rated lavalier. This microphone typically costs between $195 and $ 199, including a transmitter and receiver. The negative of this microphone is that if you want a smaller lavalier to clip near your neckline, those can cost you an additional $15 to $80. This microphone can connect with an iPhone or tablet, but you will need a specific connector for your phone or tablet. The next microphone that might interest you is the Saramonic Blink 500. One of the cool features of this lavalier microphone is that they make a receiver that can connect directly to an Android phone or an iPhone. From all our research, this microphone is very close in utility rating to the Rode Go and is slightly cheaper at $179 for the setup that connects with a DSLR camera or Mirrorless Camera.

Zoom settings. There’s only one quick video adjustment that we would recommend: switching the “Enable HD” feature under the video option. This cleans up the video quality a little and hopefully looks better on the client’s end. Zoom does allow the use of a DSLR or mirrorless camera, but this is an advanced feature that requires purchasing a capture card, which ranges in price from $180 to $250+.

One of the significant issues that instructors who use music will face is playing music while instructing. Ideally, the music plays through the participant’s computer, instead of the host’s computer, to the microphone and then to the participants. There is typically a little lag with the latter, and the quality is much lower. Select Screen Share and click the “Advanced” tab to get the recommended option. From there, “click “Computer Sound Only”. A pop-up might come up that says “Install Zoom Audio Device”, which is okay to click and let install. Through trial and error, the music volume around 40-50% allows enough sound on the participants’ end of the music and the instructor.
