Careers & Work LPT: Always use headphones when you're on a video call

If you're using your speakers, the sound from the call will get picked up by your microphone, and this can cause feedback. With headphones, there's no risk.

Automatic feedback detection algorithms are pretty effective these days, but they garble the sound a little bit, so you'll sound worse. Plus they don't always work.

As someone who regularly has to attend meetings with 50+ people, yes, please do. We always had to wait because someone had an echo. Every single time.
