Thread Name: Singing on Conference Calls and Zoom
Subject: RE: Singing on Conference Calls and Zoom
First Up, I admit to knowing almost nothing about this stuff (but in time-honoured fashion, I'll try not to let that stop me commenting :)))
So many YT clips are now appearing of "Virtual" Choirs & Musicians performing "together" (esp since Eric Whitacre's beginnings almost 10 years ago!).
But of course, it's not as simple as it seems, esp for the technology-challenged amongst us (like me) - whether through lacking that kind of brain, or training, or, not having the right audio-visual equipment.
Meanwhile, folks are trying the various conferencing and catchup programs, and discovering that everyone's internet connections can be quite different, and that Mobiles Vs Home Computers can make a difference -
and encountering the issue of Latency - and more.
Here's one 11min15sec clip I came across from the UK, where he explains his Zoom methods for his 4 x Choirs, to keep learning and practising online.

I really hope it helps someone here. Interestingly, it has some 10,590 views so far!
AHA! I have just found his latest 14min43sec one :
