I'm Hearing an Echo of My Voice in the Audio Conference

I'm hearing an echo of my voice in the audio conference

Causes of an echo or feedback noise in an audio conference:

A participant has both the computer and telephone audio active.
The speakers on participants' computers or telephones are too close to each other.
There are multiple computers with active audio in the same conference room.
The audio is playing through your speakers/ mobile device into your microphone.

To minimize echo in a conference:

Mute all lines in the conference, then unmute only those participants that need to speak.

To identify the source of echo:

Mute all participants in the conference.
Unmute each participant, one at a time; then talk and listen if any echo from that location.
Once the echo source is found, apply the corrective suggestions below.

To correct an echo problem – recommendations apply to any device type:

Try lowering the audio output level from your speakers.
Try playing the audio from the conference through your headset earphones rather than through desktop speakers. For best results, high-quality headphones with integrated microphones are recommended. Set the audio output at a reasonable level.
Within a room, it is recommended that the microphone/s and speaker/s of one device be used. In that room, mute all other microphone and speaker elements from co-located devices such as laptops that joined that same meeting.
If within the room there is a strong background noise either from an audio masking noise generator or from say, a fan, please proceed as follows. For the audio masking noise generator, please reduce its level output. For say a fan, as possible please move the microphone to a more distant location from that noise source.

The following steps apply if you are using the 'Call Me' or 'I Will Call In' option to connect to your audio conference:

Disconnect from the audio conference, then rejoin using the 'Call Me' or 'I Will Call In' option.
Use the handset or a headset to receive audio instead of using the loudspeaker/speaker of the phone or mobile device.

The following steps apply if you are using the 'Call using computer' or VoIP option to connect to your audio conference:

Test your audio after each troubleshooting step below, and proceed to the next step if the echo still occurs.

To correct the problem:

Try moving your microphone or headset further away from your speakers.
Try playing the audio from the conference through your headset earphones, rather than through desktop speakers. For best results, high-quality headphones with integrated microphones are recommended. Headsets with standard 3.5 mm audio jacks usually work better than USB or wireless headsets.
In the Webex Meetings client the audio input control has evolved in such a way that the settings are adjusted automatically.
