First of all, it is the convention here to BOTTOM POST replies. I found I get excellent results by using the Zoom application. I never tried doing Zoom within a browser. Ditto for Skype. For security reasons -- 1. I only install the Zoom application just before I am going to use it. When the Zoom meeting is done, I uninstall the application with a non-Windows application that also removes any registry entries for Zoom. Of course, I have archived the Zoom installer. I make a copy of the installer and install from that copy because a successful installation seems to delete the installer automatically. (Skype remains installed on my PC.) 2. I enable my webcam and microphone only when I am going to use them. If I am going to use Skype, I test the webcam and microphone using Skype's [Settings > Audio & Video] before the meeting starts. If I am going to use Zoom, I test the webcam and microphone using VLC's [Media > Stream] before the meeting starts. For that latter, I must significantly reduce the volumn of the audio because it streams locally very loud with much static. The most important part of testing is to make sure that the webcam is pointed correctly at me. 3. When I am done with either Zoom or Skype, I disable my webcam and microphone. Then, I keep the webcam zipped into a black cloth bag. No, I do not unplug either device because they are plugged into the back of my PC tower, and it is a real bother to get at the plugs and ports. -- David E.
