Best Practices for Zoom Meetings
- Disconnect VPN as ZOOM works better and faster without VPN (only use VPN if you require access to VPN resources during the meeting)
- Close any other applications in the background you don't need for your meeting.
- Connect your computer to your internet router by network cable and not wireless, if you have a cable and can be near your router.
- Keep your microphone or telephone on mute unless you are talking.
