You don’t want this to happen, whether you are performing LIVE on ZOOM or showing a Pre-Recorded Music Performance Video. ZOOM defaults to the voice, thus resulting in a bottom of the swimming pool sound for the music track, instrument, or accompaniment. ZOOM has a feature that makes anything with music or extra sound compressed/suppressed and sound like someone is singing in a toilet due to ZOOM making the software choose between allowing the music to come through, or the singer’s voice. Sadly, there’s a major glitch when it comes to playing the Pre-Recorded Music Performance videos I send clients and they play it on ZOOM for their meeting or event: As a person who keeps The Promise to do what my clients, I then send it along (if you’d like a sample let me know and I’ll send the link). I have been asked by many clients to create either a Full Video Pre-Recorded Presentation or even just a teaser for the next time the client will get together in person. However, even if not doing the exact same agenda and event as your In-Person plan for your Virtual Event, you can still make a very special experience for attendees. However, there are huge benefits to still going for it Virtual, such as I showcase here where I acted as both Emcee and Entertainment for a 2-day event, enjoy this video story and how awesome the event turned out: It is generally believed a Virtual Event doesn’t feel the same as a LIVE In-Person Event. This is understandable, because it is both unfamiliar and scary. Throughout the quarantine I have lost essentially every event with clients that had confirmed LIVE events on the calendar for 2020. Trust me, I prefer ZOOM, even with its limitations. Yet, as compromised as ZOOM can feel, have you tried other platforms? WebEx? GoogleHangouts? Microsoft Teams? GoToWebinar? Oh my holy heavens….the fun never stops. Even as I went kicking and screaming.Īfter a while, you get used to ZOOM, and although it has a few major issues, you have learned to work around them. I have had to learn to accept, embrace, and rely on ZOOM.

It seems as of mid-March 2020 I spend every day, all day, on ZOOM. It became the Go-To, and “Do you have Zoom?” was the first thing every client asked for every call.

ZOOM seems to have won the game in the pandemic.
