Echo or feedback during VoIP business calls
Echo happens when your microphone and speaker are too close to each other or both are on at the same time. The fix is to mute your microphone when you're not talking, move the microphone away from the speakers, or use a headset instead of the laptop speaker.
VoIP echo is caused by sound traveling from your speaker back into your microphone. The system picks up your own voice and sends it back to you, creating an annoying echo or feedback loop. We'll check your audio settings, hardware placement, and noise suppression features to stop it.
- ✓Have access to the phone or audio system that needs troubleshooting
- ✓Have admin credentials ready if needed for system access
- ✓Have a test procedure ready to verify the fix (e.g., test call, test connection)

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Only trying to move your devices slightly when you need more distance between mic and speaker
- Not realizing that a physical phone handset on the desk can still feed audio back
- Assuming the problem is on your end when the other person is the one hearing the echo
Signs you need professional help
- If the echo persists after moving your microphone away from the speaker, switching to a headset, and checking your audio settings, there may be a network or VoIP provider issue. Give us a call and we can run diagnostics on your call quality.
