      TIP: Loud echoing sounds (also known as "feedback") occur during a meeting when audio from someone's speaker easily enters their microphone, repeating in a loop over and over again. Feedback can be avoided by using headphones instead of a speaker, and keeping your microphone muted until you want to talk.

      On a mobile device, you have the option of using the device's built-in speakers, or any connected external speakers/headphones. To choose the speaker/headphones you want, click the speaker icon.

      Select your desired speaker/headphones from the options shown. Any connected headphones or speakers will appear in this list (plugged-in, Bluetooth, etc). On an iPhone, "Speaker" will play the meeting audio over the speakerphone, and "iPhone" will play the meeting audio through the earpiece (similar to a phone call).
