Ask Help Desk: How to sound better on your next Zoom (or Skype or Google Meet) call

Of course, everyone speaks at different volumes, so this rule of thumb could use some fine-tuning. The best way to see if your approach works in Zoom is to open Settings, click on Audio, and start talking — at a normal speaking volume, the blue bar next to Input Level should peak right in the middle. (Skype and Discord have similar tools to look at your levels in their respective audio settings, but Google Meet doesn’t.)
