Voice Conferencing

A microphone connected your computer is required for voice conferencing. If you don't have a mic, you can still listen to the voice conference. It is strongly recommended that you use headphones to listen to the voice conference; using speakers will cause feedback into your microphone and cause other users to hear an echo.
