Skype Audio Tips If joining a call with other attendees sitting in the same room, ensure only one computer (or the conference room phone) is dialed into the audio portion of the meeting to prevent audio feedback If you ever run into issues using your audio headset, remember you can always dial in using a traditional telephone. If joining over remote VPN and are having issues, you can always disconnect from VPN and join again over an Internet connect to improve the performance Use a SfB or Lync-optimized audio device (headset) for best audio & microphone quality experience Select audio device and test call quality prior to initiating a call Do not use Skype for Business for 911 or any other emergency calls
