Double-check that you\u2019re speaking into the correct microphone<\/h3>\n<p>Talking into your mic might seem like a no-brainer.<\/p>\n<p>However, consider that your work setup might consist of multiple microphone devices (think: a built-in microphone, a webcam, and an external USB mic).<\/p>\n<p>This creates echo issues when your computer inadvertently picks up or plays back your voice through a device you\u2019re not actually using.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to double-check which device you\u2019re using and make sure that the others are muted or disabled. Before any virtual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/small-business\/blog\/virtual-meetings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">meeting<\/a>, take a moment to preview and test your audio to confirm there\u2019s no mic echo on your end.<\/p>\n<p>For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/video-conferencing-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a video conferencing solution<\/a> like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RingCentral Video<\/a> allows you to clearly see (and adjust!) your mic settings so you\u2019re being picked up loud and clear:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-45339\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ringcentral-video-mic-settings-1-1024x579.png\" alt=\"ringcentral video mic settings\" width=\"1024\" height=\"579\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2. Wear headphones to eliminate noise creeping into your mic<\/h3>\n<p>This is perhaps the easiest fix for when your mic is echoing.<\/p>\n<p>As noted earlier, audio bleed from your speakers is the most common reason for echo. If everyone in your meeting is wearing headphones, even better\u2014you\u2019ve basically eliminated the potential for unwanted mic echo altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Given the popularity of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/small-business\/blog\/best-bluetooth-headsets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bluetooth headsets<\/a> and devices, wearing some form of headphones during video calls is common and doesn\u2019t have to look clunky. Doing this allows you to conduct your meetings hands-free while avoiding pesky audio issues.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-bottom-cta rc-bottom-cta__landscape\" style=\"background-color:#FF8800;flex-direction: row-reverse;\">\n<div class=\"bottom-cta-img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"930\" height=\"700\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Blog-hero-4.png\" class=\"responsive-image\" alt=\"Read our new ...\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"bottom-cta-copy\">\n<div class=\"rc-bottom-cta__text\" style=\"color:ffffff;\">\n<h3\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"rc-bottom-cta__title headline-copy\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>Read our new report, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How AI is Changing Employee &amp; Customer Experiences,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to learn how top-performing companies are deploying AI to benefit their customers and employees<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"rc-bottom-cta__btn-wrapper\" style=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg rc-bottom-cta__link\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Read now\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/report\/ai-changing-employee-customer-metrigy-report.html\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-dl-name=\"Read now\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-dl-element=\"button\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-dl-additional-info=\"bottom cta banner\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-no-auto-dl=\"true\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tonmouseover=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tonmouseout=\"this.style.backgroundColor='';this.style.borderColor='';this.style.color='';\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>Read now<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3. Space out attendees attending meetings together<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re conducting a video call in a huddle room or meeting room where attendees might be in close proximity to each other.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond wearing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/small-business\/blog\/best-headset-for-conference-calls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">headphones<\/a> and adjusting your microphones to avoid audio spillover, it\u2019s a good idea to space attendees\u2019 devices out as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Or, attendees who are together could just conduct their meeting from the same device (think: one mic and camera for the entire conference room). This avoids the time-consuming process of detecting who\u2019s responsible for echo on a conference call, especially when you have dozens of attendees.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Mute yourself when you aren\u2019t speaking (and encourage other attendees to do the same)<\/h3>\n<p>This might be a slightly more tedious fix to mic echo, but it\u2019s an effective one.<\/p>\n<p>In short, make a habit of muting your microphone when you aren\u2019t speaking during a meeting and encourage your attendees to do the same. This is a sort of \u201cmanual\u201d way to eliminate mic bleed.<\/p>\n<p>The downside of this strategy is that it requires attendees to consciously mute themselves when they finish speaking. This might be annoying\u2014but it\u2019s arguably much less annoying than dealing with your microphone echoing.<\/p>\n<p>The upside is that muting your mic can basically be done in a single click in most tools. Another bonus of manual muting is that it encourages a more organized, intentional meeting as folks are forced to talk one at a time. This ultimately prevents people from talking over each other.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Check for latency issues for remote attendees<\/h3>\n<p>This is especially important for remote attendees or people joining meetings from their mobile devices. If that attendee has a poor Wi-Fi signal or connectivity issues, it could result in lag time in their communication and likewise unnecessary mic echo.<\/p>\n<p>A quick <a href=\"https:\/\/testmy.net\/latency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">latency test<\/a> can help determine if remote attendees are dealing with internet issues and if they should seek somewhere with a better connection.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\ud83d\udd79\ufe0f<\/span> Get a hands-on look at how RingCentral works by booking a product tour:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><button data-href=\"#leadform-popup\" class=\"js-open-popup-activator btn primary\" >Choose a time<\/button><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcb0 You can also <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/roi-calculator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">use this calculator<\/a> <\/strong>to see roughly how much your business could save by using RingCentral to support your team&#8217;s communications with clients, customers, and each other.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>6. Consider upgrading outdated hardware and software<\/h3>\n<p>No surprises here. If you\u2019re using an ancient microphone or an outdated <a class=\"waffle-rich-text-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/office\/features\/voip\/overview.html\">VoIP phone service<\/a>, your equipment could very well be responsible for your mic echo.<\/p>\n<p>You should obviously test your technology <i>before<\/i> splashing the cash on upgrades such as new mics, headphones, or webcams. That said, now\u2019s the perfect time to do so given the rise of remote work and the popularity of video meetings. Besides, creating a video-ready meeting space is more cost-effective than ever.<\/p>\n<p>And of course, your software could also be causing unintentional mic echo and other issues that impact the quality of your meetings. That\u2019s why we recommend RingCentral. Alongside features such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/lp\/small-business-phone-service.html\">business phone service<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/virtual-call-center.html\">virtual call center<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/contact-center.html\">contact center<\/a>, RingCentral also includes echo cancellation to ensure crisp calls, no matter where you are:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-45341\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/RCV-audio_video-settings-1024x797.png\" alt=\"RCV audio_video settings\" width=\"1024\" height=\"797\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Now you know how to get rid of echo on your video calls!<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to run smoother meetings, you need to know how to deal with tech issues before they start to snowball.
