How to Fix Microphone Echo Issue

If you have opened your computer speaker device and your microphone is very close to the speaker, then the microphone will also pick up your sound from the speaker, causing the echo issue.
3. Make sure the echo issue is not caused by the environment
Are you in a place where echoes are easy to produce? If so, the microphone may have received these echoes. In this case, please move your devices to a place where no echo will be reflected.
