Why do I hear echo or feedback?
If you hear audio echo or audio feedback during your meeting, there are three possible causes:
- Participant has both the computer and telephone audio active
- Participants with computer or telephones speakers that are too close to each other or
- Multiple computers with active audio in the same conference room
Why can’t I hear any audio when I plug my headset/microphone into the computer’s monitor?
If you are using an external headset, microphone, or webcam, plug the device into the main source (the computer or laptop). Do not plug it into the monitor’s USB connection; it must be connected directly into the computer or laptop.
