Why headphones are required

Who’s this article for? Hosts and guests

Wearing headphones is one of the best ways to keep your audio clean. Without them, your microphone can pick up other participants’ voices from your speakers, creating echo and audio bleed that can be difficult to remove during editing.

Best practices

  • Everyone in the session should wear headphones.

  • Wired headphones beat Bluetooth for latency.

  • If someone can't wear headphones, turn on Echo Cancellation in Call Settings.

FAQs

Do my guests need headphones too?

Yes, echo comes from any participant using speakers, so everyone should wear them.

Can Zencastr remove echo afterward?

Some can be reduced, but bleed between tracks can't be fully undone. Prevention beats repair.
