Interesting but hard to follow. Corona lockdowns and working from home taught us that inexpensive clip-on usb microphones do wonders for the sound quality. Tip: hang up a blanket in the room when the echo makes the sound so bad that only colleagues can make out what you are saying. (good) sound quality is the secret ingredient to high view numbers in KZbin. Try it.
