Why should I wear headphones?
We recommend that all participants wear headphones when they join a SquadCast recording session to prevent other participants' voices from echoing or feeding back from their speakers into their microphones. Wearing headphones prevents echoing and feedback in most cases and helps ensure that you'll have a high-quality recording from your session.
What if I don't have headphones?
It's cool to lower your speaker volume, move your speakers away from your microphone, and enable Echo Cancellation in the Green Room or the Studio settings.
What about Bluetooth headphones?
Wired headphones are preferred over Bluetooth because they have zero latency and will not disconnect or die from battery loss. If Bluetooth is the only option, ensure they are fully charged. Avoid using a Bluetooth headset as a microphone and headphones, as this drastically reduces the quality of both.
While Bluetooth devices can be utilized, we typically recommend opting for wired devices to ensure optimal recording quality and performance. This is because wired connections support recording at 48kHz and provide a reliable, latency-free experience. Additionally, wired devices are usually recognized easily as the OS default, ensuring a seamless recording and uploading process. By choosing wired devices for input and output, you're more likely to enjoy a trouble-free recording session with SquadCast.
