9. #6 Mic Mute is Your Friend
For Reducing Background Noise
10. Mic mute can be especially important when
more people join the Hangout. With six or
eight mics picking up background noises, the
ability to mute a mic is essential.
Also, ask participants to choose a quiet
location to reduce background noise.
Finally, for those who only listen, invite
people to follow the broadcast instead of
joining the hangout.
