How to get the Best Experience
The best and easiest to configure set – up for group viewing would look something like this:
- Laptop connected to TV so you can see laptop screen on TV screen and have the audio playing through the TV speakers. Even better if you have a great sound system.
IMPORTANT: Go into your ZOOM settings and select the audio / speaker setting for your TV. Otherwise the audio will play through your laptop speakers.
- Zoom app downloaded onto a laptop that has a HDMI port built – in
- Connect HDMI cable from laptop to TV
- Adjust your source setting on your TV to HDMI
- The laptop screen should now show up on your TV
HDMI cables can be purchased from numerous online stores and marketplaces such as eBAY!
Other Set-ups
You can buy adapters for other devices such as ipads and connect the ipad to the TV via HDMI. You can also remotely cast your ipad or other tablet screen onto the TV.
- Viewing the concerts on a phone should be okay for 1 viewer
- Viewing the concerts on an ipad, other tablet, notebook etc should be okay for 1-3 viewers
- Laptops with medium to large screens should be okay for 1-8 viewers
To get better audio for these devices it would be advisable to attach an external speaker to the headphone socket or via USB on the laptop or via the headphone socket on the ipad, tablet or phone.
