STREAMING TIPS

YOUTUBE

We highly recommend downloading video files in advance and streaming directly from your computer. If you must stream from YouTube, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Before your presentation:

  • Close all unnecessary apps that may utilize network bandwidth (Outlook, iMessage, Slack, Spotify, Apple Music, internet browsers, etc.)

    If you have YouTube Premium, you should download the video file prior to your meeting

  • Queue your video and allow the video to fully load

  • Click on Settings (the icon looks like a gear in the bottom right corner of the video player) and select the highest possible quality setting

During your presentation:

  • Click on Share in the top right corner of your Teams meeting window

  • Next to Share Content, select Include computer sound

  • Then click on Window and select your browser window containing your YouTube video

  • Select Theater mode and start your video
