🎙️Tips for effective audio in podcasts and video conferencing

How to test your setup with VDO.Ninja

In preparation for a meeting or podcast recording, it is a good idea to test your setup before the meeting. A modern Chromium-based browser is recommended, and you will likely need to give the browser permission to use your audio and camera. A headset and quality microphone is also recommended.

Test with the following steps:

  1. Go to https://vdo.ninja/ and select “Create a Room”
  2. Click on the image button to generate a new room name.
  3. Click “Join the room as a Participant”.
  4. Join Room with Camera.
  5. Select your Video, Audio devices. Make sure the audio is directed to a headset, and the correct Mic is selected. If you select a computer microphone instead of a headset, the audio may be substandard.
  6. Click start. Your video should display.
  7. Click the settings button.
