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.
