Community Answer

On your Zoom, you can share your screen by using the green "share screen" button on the bottom of your screen. Out of Zoom, you can simply select the photo/video you want to share, sign into your email account, and select send to share your file.

Can my video include a virtual background?

Community Answer

Yes, depending on the program(s) you use. You may or may not need a green screen, again depending upon which software you use.

Question

Is there a way to get it to record a game you're playing? It's showing my face through the webcam.

Community Answer

To record a gameplay video with your webcam displayed on it, you can try some third-party video recording software such as OBS, RecMaster, and Bandicam. These recording tools enable you to make a "picture in picture" video smoothly.

Question

How do I save the video so that I can email it?

Isaac Akos

Community Answer

Larger video files may exceed the file size limits imposed by email providers. In such cases, you may need to use file-sharing services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or WeTransfer to upload the video and send a link to the recipient(s) instead of attaching the video directly to the email.

To save your recording on a PC and upload it elsewhere: 1. **Finish the Recording:** Stop the recording software when done. 2. **Save the File:** Click "Save" or "Save As" in the software and choose a location on your computer, like **Documents** or **Desktop**. Save the file in a common format like **MP3**, **WAV**, or **MP4**. 3. **Check the File:** Ensure the file is in the chosen location. 4. **Upload to Another Platform:** Open the site or app where you want to upload it, click the **Upload** button, and select your saved file.

Question

Why don't I have sound, and how can I fix it?

Community Answer

Check your system settings to see if audio is enabled through your PC speakers. Also, ensure the mute button hasn't been accidentally toggled. If the issue persists, consider performing a hard reset of the PC.
