Backgrounds May Cause Microphone Interference
We’ve noticed in our testing that background effects can sometimes cause issues with a user’s microphone. To prevent any issues, we recommended that you turn on Reduce Mic Noise.
Click on the down-arrow on the microphone icon button. From the list of options, locate the Reduce Mic Noise option. Push the toggle to the right, to turn the feature on it will be green.
