Zoom & Camera Instructions for Progress With Chess tournaments

ZOOM AND CAMERA REQUIREMENTS:
SIDE CAMERA INSTRUCTIONS:
Set up and test your camera prior to the camera testing session one hour before the
event.
1. You will need a separate device (tablet, phone, or external cam or camera) to use as
your side camera. This may be a clip-on camera connected to the computer with a USB
device. If using a phone, make sure it is set on “Silent mode”.
2. Download Zoom onto that device if using a phone or tablet (Zoom download
instructions are below) and log onto the meeting.
3. Mount tablet or phone at the desired angle and attach a charging device.
4. Check to confirm that the full playing screen and player from the knees up are both in
view.
5. Make sure sound is on (audio is required). Keep your noise level to a minimum as
any sounds or background noise will be heard in the Zoom meeting. Turn your “output
level” in the audio settings to zero so you do not hear all the other players.
