Ah that’s where I went wrong Wheat not Corn !
Does anyone know if you can run the same Zoom meeting with the same user link on two devices?
You should be able to
Thanks Adi,
I’m just thinking if I do perform a song then I would want to use my phone for the performance but then my laptop for the rest of the evening.
When I did it I used two separate accounts but it shouldn’t really matter if it’s the same account twice or not. Remember about muting the laptop while playing in front of the phone and you need to tweak settings a bit on your phone to allow for original sound so no noise cancellation occurs.
Man this community is so helpful. I’m really looking forward to digging into the advanced portion of how to use obs with my daw eventually since I’ve needed to learn how to do that forever. Thank you for this

I’d suggest using this approach for your first Open Mic and experiment with DAW/OBS afterwards. Best to get some stable settings and ensure you have audio + video for the event. Good thing about Zoom is the ability to set a meeting up on your own, so you can check things out before hand. Any issues shout up.
That goes for anyone else joining the OM for the first time. 
Cheers

Sorry for the newbie question, but here goes: do you have to have a paid Zoom membership to use advanced settings like “enable original sound”? I only have the basic (i.e. free) membership and can’t seem to find that setting control. BTW, using Zoom through the iOS app.
Thanks!
No, Mick, I am signed up with a free account and have access to that setting on my audio settings. I access that typically on the app on my Windows PC/LT. You can also login on the Zoom website and adjust settings there. Perhaps try the website route if you are not seeing that option under Audio Settings on the app.
Hi Mick, it’s possible different platforms/devices have different original sound control locations.
I use my PC windows/chrome and when I enter the zoom room at the very top left hand side of my screen there’s a little dialogue box, saying original sound off/on
Worth a look 
No paid membership required, I believe I am the only licence holder here and when i enable others ti use Original sound it should show up for you and others. All the best.

I can’t find it either 
Using the Linux client.
Not sure how it works on linux but you don’t need premium. You click little arrow near your microphone icon while on meeting, go to Audio settings at the bottom, under Music and Professional Audio you hit Show in meeting option to enable Original Sound.
what happens when you go over to advanced settings?
just checked this Iain:
Hi @appalloosa-cob, it looks like from the 5.5.0 release, you are able to share mono or stereo sound. When sharing content and wanting to share computer sound as well, users can select between mono or stereo audio. Only the user sharing their audio will need to be utilizing this client version or higher.
However, within the Client settings under ‘Audio’, it doesn’t sound like you have the settings for ‘Music and Professional Audio’ on Linux.
Unfortunately, original sound and stereo aren’t currently supported on our Linux client at the moment. Feel free to mention your request for this feature as it definitely helps for us to see this within the near future. You can send your feedback to: Feedback - Zoom

Addendum …
also added to post 1 above
Background & Effects
Please ensure Background is set to None for optimum clarity when performing.
On no account should you use the Blur virtual background.

I appreciate the reply, but all of this seems to be directed toward laptop users. I am using an iPad while I am traveling and there seems to be no way to change any input settings either on the Browser based Zoom or the App. I travel for a living and as a result am not able to carry a lot of gear with me. Running my guitar through GarageBand seems to require the least amount of gear, and has been compatible (able to run simultaneously) with Browsers, YouTube, Spotify, etc. But ZOOM will not allow GarageBand to run simultaneously on the iPad. So I am looking for a solution specifically for iPad OS if one exists. Thanks in advance fo the response.
FYI for all others, Zoom made a change to setting which puzzled me for a bit yesterday with regards to noise suppresion! Remember folks to do this in following way:
- Go to settings before you join the meeting
- Go to Audio settings on the left
- First you MUST select Removing Noise in the background option and select Low
- Only then you can select option to Original Musicians Sound
If you skip step 3, even if you select Original Sound, it will keep noise suppressing your sound. How annyoing isn’t it?!
