Echo Occurring?
- Everyone in the same physical room as the host user should
*mute their computer microphones and computer speaker volume.* - The host user is the exception.
The host user should NOT mute their computer microphone
and computer speakers UNLESS the host use is using a phone or speakerphone for audio. - If the host user is using a phone or speakerphone for audio,
then the host indeed should mute their computer microphone and computer speakers.
Screen Freeze or Lag? Delayed Audio?
- Have all participants mute their audio
and/or shut down their video when they are not using it. - All participants should close any open applications or browser tabs
or windows they are not using during the meeting. - Closing non-essential apps
in the lower right (System Tray) in Windows
or
upper right (Menu Bar) in Mac could help as well.
