Connect with your mic and speakers (Computer/VoIP)
Use your computer mic and speakers to connect to the audio. The quality may vary depending on the audio software, hardware, operating system and internet connection being used. We recommend using a USB headset plugged directly into the computer and placing the microphone away from other speakers or devices to avoid noise feedback. Ensure that your mic and speakers are properly plugged in to your computer.
