Echo in Studio can usually be easily resolved through a few setup adjustments.


Adjust your setup

  1. Mute or stop all playbacks and audio output running on your computer.

    You can do this by closing all browser tabs, muting your speakers, and making sure the stream preview on your Restream home screen isn't playing with audio enabled.

    Having the stream playback on the same device you use for streaming not only takes additional CPU resources but may also play back the sound of your stream, which leads to an echo in the final video.

  2. Use headphones to lower the chance of capturing unnecessary sounds, and make sure any guests in the Studio are using headphones, too.

  3. Try echo cancellation in Studio.

    1. Click the gear ⚙️ icon under your preview window.

    2. Go to the Audio menu.

    3. Enable Echo cancellation and Noise suppression.

  4. Disable browser extensions that may be interfering with your setup, and try using an incognito window or a different browser (Chrome is the recommended one).


Test a local recording

  1. Try recording locally on your device.

  2. If the local recording has an echo, it means your audio sources are not set up correctly or are malfunctioning. Make sure you've followed the above recommendations and try restarting your equipment.

  3. If your stream has an echo but your local recording doesn't, please contact our Support team, and we will assist further.
