Zoom is the leading video collaboration and conferencing platforms. It enables you to virtually interact with co-workers when in-person meetings aren’t possible, and it has been hugely successful for all kinds of events, webinars, and even family gatherings.

Mastering Zoom is essential for companies – whatever size they may have.  Even if your team may not use it – your suppliers or clients will and want it to keep in touch and continue their daily workflows with minimal disruption.

The way you look and appear on Zoom is crucial for being recognized as the competent leader you are. This is why a high image quality is a must. Your webcam should support a high-definition video capture of at least 720p or higher.

However, the best webcam can not play out its quality if the network’s bandwidth is limited. By default, ZOOM limits your video resolution to 360p! This is way lower than HD quality. As a result, your image looks grainy and blurry on the screen. Also, your graphics and presentations don’t read as well.

Here is the good news: You can contact the ZOOM support, and they’ll up your settings to HD 720p for free. That will be the same quality that Facebook streams at.
