Sound breaking up, lag or echo

Breaking up or lag

• The status bar at the bottom shows your ping to the server. A high or jumping number points to your connection.
• Use a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi if you can, and pause downloads, streams and uploads while you talk.
• If it only happens in a game, the game may be using all of your upload: lower its network or video streaming settings.
• If everyone on the server lags, the server may be far from your group. Ask the owner about the server location.

Echo

• If others hear themselves, someone is using speakers and their microphone picks them up. Headphones fix it.
• Check that your Microphone in Setup > Audio is your headset, not a webcam or "Stereo Mix" device that records what you hear.
