To install a blocked program manually from the Mac’s desktop, right-click (or hold down the Control key and click) the program’s icon. If you trust the source of the program and want to install it anyway, you can get around Gatekeeper in a couple of ways. The alert you see on the screen comes from Gatekeeper, one of the built-in OS X security features intended to protect the Mac from malicious software. The default settings in the latest version of OS X (10.8) allow only programs from the Mac App Store (and what Apple calls identified developers) to be installed on the computer. I downloaded a program from a Web site to run on my Mac, but the system won’t let me open and install it because of “security preferences.” What is this and is there a way around it?Ī. And the same with your student(s) or guests.Q.

If you bookmark your “studio” page, and have your password manager set to auto-log you in, it’s pretty much just one-click to get in. Like so:Īll done! Yeah, I know it seems like a lot of steps, but once you’ve gone through all of these hoops the first time, it’s actually pretty quick. (FWIW, most of what you just did is one-time stuff, that you won’t have to do again the next time.)Īnd once you’ve connected with each other in a Zoom meeting, click on the arrow next to the mute button, and select “leave computer audio” just to make sure you’re really using Cleanfeed for audio. Step 8: Make sure they click the gear and select the mic they want to use, and now you can minimize your browsers, and start up a Zoom meeting. When your friend clicks on the button in the email, they’ll get to a page like this…Īnd when they click on start, you’ll see them show up in your room, like this…

And the cool thing is they don’t need to sign up or download anything, so for your guests, it’s super easy (maybe this would work well for a virtual “radio” concert type of thing?). Step 7: Click CONNECT to create a special access link for your friend/colleague/student, so they can join you in your “studio.” The link they get is a permanent link that will stay the same in subsequent sessions, so make sure they keep the email so they can always join you here.

So if you have a laptop, an external microphone, headphones, and a desire to get the best possible sound in your next online lesson (or virtual concert, which might actually be a better use case), the “cleanfeed hack” below might be worth a try.īefore we dive in, much thanks to Curtis Judd, whose mention of Cleanfeed in this recent livestream on gear for online music lessons led to this fun little experiment (and my spending waaaay too much time going down this rabbit hole in the last 48 hours…). If you’re just using the built-in mic and speakers on a laptop, this hack won’t make that much of a difference. It’s nothing near CD-quality, of course, but the difference is noticeable – if you’re using an external microphone and headphones. Well, it appears that there is a way to improve things above and beyond Zoom’s advanced audio setting tweaks (which you can read about here). If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already tried Skype, FaceTime, Google Duo, and Zoom (with advanced audio settings), and are still wishing there was a way to get higher quality sound in your online lessons.
