Here are some tips and tricks that you can use to improve your experience with the different e-meetings services:
✓ Use a USB headset:
To ensure the best audio quality always use a headset (preferably USB).
✓ Check audio ahead and connect before time:
Take some time to make sure your microphone is working correctly. Please connect at least five minutes before the start of a meeting to avoid disturbance. This will also allow you to check sound levels and be ready when the meeting starts.
✓ Keep your microphone muted when not speaking:
Please mute your microphone when it is not your turn to speak. If not, others might hear you cough, swallow, whisper, breathe, or beat your hands on the desktop.
✓ Speak directly into the microphone
✓ Watch out for echo:
If you are joining from a location that is near another meeting participant, you may hear an echo or feedback (for example, if both you and your cube neighbor dial in to the same call). The best way to avoid an echo is to use a headset.
✓ Quiet environment:
Remote participants should speak from a quiet place without background noise. They should speak slowly and clearly to allow the other participants to compensate for any audio problem. They are encouraged to end their remarks with the phrase "This concludes my intervention" or "Thank you Chairman".
