Tips for Better Microphone Quality

  • Speak directly into the microphone from about 15-30 cm (6-12 inches) away.
  • Reduce background noise — close windows, turn off fans, and mute notifications.
  • Use a headset or external microphone for clearer audio than built-in laptop mics.
  • Check your system volume settings — make sure the mic input isn't muted or too low.
  • Avoid touching or tapping near the microphone during recording.
  • Test in a quiet room for the most accurate results.
