Problem
Student audio is very loud or full of static when they speak during Google Meet sessions.
Solution
Chromebooks allow you to increase microphone sensitivity which can cause a student's audio to become loud and full of static. A student might accidentally increase the microphone sensitivity, so it will need to be turned back down.
Step 1
Open settings by clicking on the system tray (bottom right)
Step 2
Open sound settings by clicking on the circle icon with the arrow pointing to the right
Step 3
Adjust the slider bar under 'Microphone (internal)’ to adjust the microphone sensitivity. The middle point is the default and recommended level
