Just to add another two cents to add to the virtual meetings topic.

I suggest that if you will be using a laptop, then don't use the speaker and microphone in the laptop. Plug in a set of earphones which include a microphone that is close to your mouth.

Using headphones/earphone helps to avoids feedback and ringing of the audio. Having a close microphone tends to stop the AGC cranking up full and picking up surrounding sounds like vacuum cleaners and dogs barking, etc.

Note that earphones that come with mobile phones are 3.5mm diameter and have a tip, 2 x rings and a sleeve. The tip and first ring are the earphone speakers, the second ring is the microphone and the sleeve is the ground connection.

Modern laptops will most likely just have the one audio socket for both microphone and speakers so these earphones will work OK. Older laptops will have a microphone socket and a headphone socket. Both are likely to be 3.5mm tip, ring and sleeve sockets. The mobile phone earphones should deliver sound to both ears when plugged into the headphone socket, but there will not be any microphone. In this case you may like to consider...
