People complain about echo or reverb in my calls from home.
Reverb comes from sound bouncing off smooth walls and hard floors. Echo cancel in Teams/Zoom handles mic-to-speaker loops, not room acoustics. A headset or a few soft surfaces fixes it.
Try this first
- 1Use a headset, that solves 90% of the problem.
- 2Add acoustic panels or a thick curtain diagonally opposite the mic (dampens the first reflection).
- 3Avoid open windows on the street side, both echo and traffic noise come in.
- 4Enable AI noise suppression in Teams (advanced) or Krisp if you cannot change the room.
When to bring us in
Office is a concrete room with 4 hard walls: 2 acoustic panels behind and left of you is cheaper than rebuilding the room.
