Thank you for sharing.

[@omarchedi]

Can you please help me to set up this equipment?

[@khozasseaacademy]

Please explain the signal chain

[@DrSajjadPathan]

How have you done the connections between your 3 primary screens?

[@BenFinio]

The two large monitors are connected to a single desktop computer. The other screens are two separate laptops.

@@BenFinio Have you used the same ZOOM Login Id for the three devices?

[@TheSunnyNP]

Thanks for this, but I'm a little confused on the actual set up.... is each device logged in separately as laptop 1, tablet, etc? Or is there a way to do all of this from one sign in?

[@BenFinio]

Each device is logged in with the same Zoom account - you don't need multiple accounts. I just email myself the meeting link and click it on each device. You will get a pop-up window telling you that you have been logged out when you log in somewhere else, but it does not actually kick you out of the meeting, so you can just ignore the message.

@@BenFinio be careful though to mute each device except the one you use to record your voice otherwise audio feedback looping will kick in and it will make a loud sound

[@PaulSchuster-yj4zb]

your audio is too reflective and hard to listen to

[@BenFinio]

Normally I record sitting at my desk with a Blue Yeti mic - here I set up a camera on a tripod farther away so you could see the whole desk, and you're right, the room is not really set up for good audio with that layout.
