[Trainer-Talk] Seeking options for remote iOS training

Fri Apr 17 14:43:03 UTC 2020

The problem was, the instructor cannot hear the trainee's audio. Sure, the
instructor can get a mixer, or I suspect you might be able to use the app I
think was formerly called BackPack Studio which allows for capturing
VoiceOver. But what about hearing the trainee's audio?

Get an audio mixer.  Connect the IOS device to the audio mixer.  Connect the
audio mixer to the computer's microphone line in input or USB port.
Configure as needed.  Open Zoom Meetings.  Unmute microphone.  Then you
should have the audio available to all of your attendees.

Thanks guys for the feedback. I have done some research, and as yet have not
found a solution. A colleague and I tried using Google Hangouts, but we came
across the same issue, where VoiceOver speech is muted when on the call. In
other words, I could not hear my colleague's VoiceOver. I was pleasantly
surprised to have such great audio on a Hangout call. I was also pleased to
see that my Google voice number showed up automatically in Hangouts, but
still looking for a solution to the initial problem.

Be well,
Wayne
