Will using the phone audio will it displace 'timing, ' as in my lips are not in sync with the video? I do podcasts and my voice frequently sounds like an electronic interference is going on, and the internet connection is unstable. Not good for a live interview of guests. I appreciate your attention to detain and clear descriptions here. Thank you.

Thanks for this video, which was a good start to tackle the problem of slow Zoom.

However, there remain several 'hidden' Zoom options I can't find satisfactory [non-geeky] explanations for anywhere online, which can be found by clicking Settings, then Video, then the Advanced button at the bottom.

Does anybody have any advice about how to optimise settings in *that* area, in order to run Zoom more smoothly on a computer which tends to freeze and glitch? (I'm just guessing here, but I imagine it will involve making choices which *lower* Zoom's CPU demands. I'm not looking for crystal clear video and audio here...I just want it to stop crashing in the evenings, when everyone down my street gets online to watch Netflix and our Internet speed takes a big hit...)

Here are the eight options!

(1) Optimise video quality with de-noise, check or un-check? (2) Use hardware acceleration for video processing, check or un-check? (3) Use hardware acceleration for virtual background, check or un-check? (4) Use hardware acceleration for sending video, check or un-check? (5) Use hardware acceleration for receiving video, check or un-check?

(6) For video rendering method, should I choose auto, Direct3D11 Flip Mode, Direct3D11, Direct3D9 or GDI?

(7) For video rendering post processing, should I choose auto, enable or disable?

(8) For video capturing method, should I choose auto, direct show or media foundation?

Extra points if, along with any suggested answers, you could include a brief one-sentence non-geeky explanation for *why* or *what it actually means*, so I can learn something about computers in the process.

Thanks in advance, kindly stranger who responds, if anyone does!!

Simon from Hong Kong.
