Zoom Setup:

  • Typically students leave microphones off during class. However, it is perfectly ok to approach the camera and turn on your microphone to say hello or ask a question. If class includes less than 3 people and you have no loud background noise, you may leave your microphone on.

  • Ideally, you should set up your mat far enough away from the camera that the teacher can see your whole body. It is better if the camera is neither directly facing you, nor side-on. The very best setup is side-on with a slight angle so that the front end of your mat is closer to the camera than the back end.

    If you are practicing in a small space and the camera does not include your whole body, prioritise showing your feet and legs over your arms and upper body. The teacher may request that you angle your camera differently from time to time.
