I second Greg KO6TH - make sure you are running the actual app and not the web version - it gives you more features and I think it works better. -David, N9KT

Hi Clint,
Yes, currently using Zoom. In the past, we've also used GoToMeeting. Very similar (they all are), but Zoom has a feature (Polls) we needed for doing club business.
We made the switch to Zoom only last September, and none of the presentations since then included a video with sound. But, I don't expect there would be any issues doing so. I recommend you do a quick test before hand, just to familiarize yourself with the interface. You might grab one of the free accounts as a surrogate "conference host", so you can try it locally.
Others have given some good tips (thanks! I learned a few things). This may be platform dependent (I'm on Linux), but one additional tip is to share the entire screen, not just the application (Power Point, or whatever). When you start the Slide Show, that's considered a different "application", so you may be looking at the slide show, but everyone else is still seeing the application in edit mode. Also, do get the native application. You can do most things through just the web interface (including screen sharing), but some things aren't available. Consider the web interface as a backup.
Good luck, and have fun.

Are you using Zoom?
Guest speakers presentations - with sound - coming through just fine?
My problem may be that I need to know Zoom better …
THANK YOU for your comments.
