When attending or moderating a video conference, you may have the option of activating your voice or webcam. In order to use those comfortably, you will need the right equipment, software and settings. These audio tips will help guide you to more comfortable video meetings.
Using a microphone and speakers normally produce echo, because the sound coming out of the speakers when others are talking, feeds back into the microphone. Some laptops have built-in settings to prevent feedback. Desktop computers need additional settings, sometimes built into the webcam or video meeting room.
Some video meeting rooms allow you to adjust your microphone settings, while others use the same settings for everyone. The video conference software provided through WowWe allows you to select which microphone you want to use in case you have multiple microphones attached to your computer. You can also select the volume level within the meeting itself without having to change it locally.
When using an audio headset, the echo is eliminated. That is the best option to attending a meeting that will have multiple microphones open at once. In that situation, when someone uses a microphone and speakers, there will inevitably be echo. It can be minimized by reducing the speaker volume to a point where you can just hear what is being said, along with muting your microphone when not speaking. That keeps the sound quality clear.
The audio software you use will depend on the microphone itself. Most often you can use a webcam that has a microphone built in. That too will have an option to reduce echo, although not a very effective one. You will still need to act as though it is a stand-alone microphone, but keep it away from your speakers. Microphones placed near speakers will result in feedback, or echo and deliver an unpleasant experience.
A major source of distraction during a productive meeting is feedback or echo from an open microphone. When in a meeting, be courteous of others and mute yourself when not speaking, especially if you do not use a headset. You could use the microphone in your webcam and either ear buds or a small, inexpensive headset.
