How to play a video in Zoom

Two of my most common Zoom questions are "how can I share a video with my class?" and "why does my video look/sound so bad??" In this tutorial, we will cover what steps you need to do as you share a video on Zoom, as well as discuss how this feature works.

Zoom share screen - 0:59
Computer Sound - 2:30
Share Screen- 3:25

Thanks for this! I've recently gone back to college as an adult, and learning new technology feels like pushing a rope. Your video was very helpful!

I'm new and still having trouble with this. Having completed these steps, I am still unable to get audio from (ie YouTube) video I attempt to share in my Zoom meets. I use an audio interface for my microphone and and my instrument. I get great audio other than shared video.

I understand this now, thanks. But when I share a video, even though I cannot see my window with me in it, others watching can. I can't find how to stop this. What am I missing? How do I remove myself when I can't see myself on my screen?!? Any suggestions? I don't want my class watching me, watching a video!

How do you share a video in a webinar? I can't find the controls for that. Seems like it's under Screen Share in Meetings, but what about Webinars?

Will my participants be able to hear it if I hv my headset on?

Not really clear at all. Was instructed to use zoom to make a video and show desktop and find this useless.
