General Tips : First, queue up the video you want to play and start a Zoom meeting. Click the green Share Screen button on the bottom of the Zoom window. A popup will let you select which application you want to share. Select the browser window that has the video in it. But wait! Before you click Share, look for two checkboxes down at the lower left corner of the sharing options tab. They’re options to “Share computer sound” and “Optimize screen sharing for video clip.” Make sure both boxes are checked. Now click Share and you’re set. If need be, the host can adjust the volume on the video player itself to make it easier to hear the other participants.
