Re: Zoom has incorporated Captions #ZoomCaptions

Carolyn, you said earlier that you use a headset with microphone on Zoom.  Can you please tell us what headset you use? I’ve been told that my audio sometimes fades out on Zoom. I have an old Radio Shack mike that works great, but when using it, I cannot hear as it cuts the incoming audio. Obviously not a soluteion. 

 

Looking at Best Buy to see what they have. Of course there are many options at variable prices.

 

I am bimodal/CI and HA. How do we find headset that will  work with our personal technology?  I don’t want to purchase the wrong thing and regret it.

 

I’m using either an older Dell Latitude laptop or a relatively new Lenevo Laptop. It’s the Lenovo that seems to be creating the difficult for others to hear me.

 

Know you said you were a techie, so figure you would have some answers.

 

Thank you.

Wayne, First think is to update your Zoom version--very important since this is a new feature. Go here for PC or MAC. This would be the first thing to try since captions just came out for Zoom Pro:
