Answer:

 

In addition to your device with an up-to-date chrome-based browser, please use a headset in any case to ensure good audio quality (input and output). This contributes significantly to efficiency and the ability to concentrate (keyword zoom fatigue). Microphones integrated into laptops are usually not sufficient. Remember that sound is inherently more important than image. Be sure to mute yourself if there are multiple participants to avoid feedback (echo) and background noise. 

The following tips can help you find a suitable headset:

  • Wired (USB or AUX port), because there may be connection problems via Bluetooth. USB headsets bypass the PC's sound card, so there can be fewer complications. AUX headsets can also be connected to a mobile phone.
  • Noise reduction/noise cancelling of the microphone
  • Frequency 125-15,000 Hz
  • Weight: lightweight headset for long and comfortable wearing
These tips are also very helpful for a successful video conference.
