Getting your Windows or Android Device ready for class.

You might be a Pilates master but do you know everything there is to know about Webcams, Zoom and your device set up?

  1. Download Zoom to your device and create an account. IT’S FREE. https://zoom.us/download

This will make life easier as your computer/tablet can remember your Zoom settings so you’re ready to go each class.

  1. Get your Windows device ready

Windows devices can require a little more tweaking. You need to make sure mic/webcam are working and if it’s a newer product, make sure there are no obstructing privacy settings.

Check your microphone is ready

Test out your webcam

Allow Zoom access to your camera/sound

Android Device - App Permissions

** Sometimes you might have to delve a bit deeper with some devices and check what permissions are set for different apps.

Occasionally a system update can throw your previously perfectly set permissions out and suddenly you can't hear us, or we can't hear you.

The best bet is to do an internet search for App Permissions for your device ie.. App Permissions for a Samsung phone or App permissions for a Surface tablet and see what they suggest. There are so many variations so check for your particular device.
