Dear Client. We wish you to have the very best remote session experience!
Remote session can be very nice simple and effective or a total disaster, resulting in many additional hours spend to get it done, not get it done as expected or even to fail in the worst scenario. Noise is very disturbing for voice talent and other participants. It makes communication very hard and unefficient. Because of troubled session the end product will suffer and might not reach it's potential and your expectations- . As your time is precious, we would like to provide a guidance for a proper way to approach the remote session.
Always use headset, never device built-in microphone and speakers.
There are numerous reasons why we strogly advice against using built-in laptop or screen microphones and speakers.
- Devices have built-in mirophone and speakers very close to each other, therfore a sound loop is always present. That means other remote session participants will hear back themselfs with a delay by signal going from your speaker to your microphone. Noise reduction algorithms are used to cancel the loop, but the results can vary and the resutl can be really bad.
- We want to hear you alone, not entire office, your air condition and maybe rain puring on your roof window.
- Please grab a $5 USB headset and let it rock!
Mute your microphone when you are not speaking
Most of the remote recording/conference platforms apply the same priciple. When you mute your microphone within the app, you can temporarily un-mute it by holding a space button. We suggest to use this method.
1. Choose your headset microphone input. (not from a laptop microphone!!!)
2. Leave settings as default. (shown on the picture)
Check the audio meter is jumping as you speak
Make sure your hedset microphone is picking the the voice. You can check that by tapping the headset and the laptop microphone. If correct the headset mircophone signal should be noticable louder.
1. Choose your headset output. (not a laptop speaker output!!!)
2. Listen if the test audio is comming from your headset. (not from a laptop speakers!!!)
Leave your video settings to "no cam", as in general we don't need your video input.
Enter your name.
Conference setup panel should look something like this. If everything is correct please Join the Conference by pressing a blue button at the bottom.
Once inside the session, interface should look this.
1. Mute Mic button. Mute yourself and un-mute only when you are speaking.
2. Video preview. Click on a preview video to display a larger version.
3. Group Chat. Click on a group chat to open a chat window.
