      Hello:
      Apologize for this silly question, but I have so many problems with zoom when I sound my shamanic drum in the calls.
      Can anyone share what settings do you use in order to hear clear and sound the drum?
      Obviously when I had used a noise cancelation headphones, the sound of the drum doesn’t go well. So I suppose I must go with the general sound of my computer, without any headphones.

      Thank you so much
      Tarwe

      Hi Tarwe,

      This is an issue I have had with Zoom as well. The way I managed to solve it is once I get into Zoom, I enable “original sound for musicians”. This makes Zoom pick up any noise in the room, including the drum. If it’s not enabled (Zoom automatically disables this when you start a meeting), it will only pick up voices.
      I tend to be pretty soft-spoken and my PC is set farther back from my chair, so I also use headphones during zoom journey circles and private sessions so everyone can hear me. My headphones have a noise cancelling feature, but they are able to work properly with zoom. I connect them to my PC via Bluetooth and make sure both the audio and microphone are going through the headphones. Can you turn the noise cancelling option off on your headphones?
      I really hope this helps!

      Love,
      Memphis
