Your staff laptop is equipped with a noise-cancelling microphone. First, you open the App by clicking on either your windows icon or the search bar and starting to type "Smart Microphone Settings". When you see the App as shown in Figure M-1, click it to open. There are several ways it can be adapted to different use cases: |
|
Private Mode This is used when you are the only person the micrphone needs to capture and you are sitting DIRECTLY in front of the laptop. |
Figure M-2 |
Shared Mode This is used when you have more than one person "gathered around" the laptop. This setting attempts to accept voices from a wider angle while rejecting other sounds in the room. |
|
Environmental Mode This is used when you want to stop the noise cancellation. An example of this might be to allow music playing in the room to be heard on Zoom. This setting is not useful for speaking scenarios because it will allow ambient noises like air-handler noice, etc. to be picked up. |
