Echo usually comes from the other person's side. Their speakers play your voice, and their microphone picks it up and sends it back. If you hear an echo, ask the other participant to try the steps below. If they hear an echo, try them yourself.
How to stop echo
- Use headphones or earphones with a built-in mic, like these headphones.
- Lower the speaker volume or mute when not speaking.
- Without headphones, turn down the speaker volume so less sound leaks into the mic.
- Mute when you're not talking, especially if several people are in one room.
- Move the microphone away from the speakers and other sound sources to avoid feedback loops.
- On Windows, turn off mic enhancements. Go to Control Panel > Sound > Recording > Microphone > Properties. On the Levels or Listen tab, turn off Microphone Boost or Listen to this device.
- Use an audio device with noise cancellation.
Still hearing an echo?
One or more participants may have a slow or unstable network. This can put the audio out of sync and cause echo. Follow these tips to improve your connection, or contact Blitzz support.
