[Choir] Recommended zoom settings for a zoom choir rehearsal

[Lani Seifert]

Just a post script here:  All Zoom screens are not created equal.  My
desktop computer is like the one shown by Steve, but my ipad is *nothing
like* the desktop version.  Things are arranged completely differently.  I
can’t speak to the phone app, but that is probably different too.
Generally speaking, most of the settings will be fine, and the host or
co-host will be taking care of muting/unmuting as needed.
So, if your screen appears different, don’t worry.  Just join in anyway.
