Tips for the best MZ-Club setup:
- Use a laptop with an i5 processor and integrated graphics card, preferably with an integrated webcam.
- Use a Bluetooth headset or headphones plugged into the 3.5 mm jack.
- Set up your laptop screen to have the liveboard on one half and Zoom on the other. Refer to a Microsoft article on how to snap your windows for assistance.
- For a polished visual experience, consider using a preloaded virtual background with your company's logo. Refer to a Zoom tutorial on changing your virtual background image for guidance.
- If possible, use a green screen for a more professional presentation
If you wish to host a hybrid class, you will need:
- One Myzone touchscreen running the Myzone software.

The hardware setup described below is used by Myzone Master Trainers. This is not required, but provides a optimal experience for instructors and participants.
