My main point is though that we should be mindful of our microphone quality, for the sake of our conversation partners. Because you never hear how bad your sound quality is if you don't test or ask for feedback.

5/🧵 If we're going to live so much of our lives through online conversations, sound quality deserves as much attention as video. Better audio = less fatigue + more genuine connection.

4/🧵 The difference a good headset or dedicated mic makes is remarkable. It brings warmth and presence to conversations - that feeling of being truly "there" with someone, even when we're just two people behind screens in separate rooms.

3/🧵 I find it fascinating: platforms like Teams, Zoom, and WhatsApp all prioritize video self-view, but offer no real-time audio quality feedback. No wonder so many people don't realize their sound setup needs improvement!

2/🧵 When someone's audio sounds thin, muffled, compressed, distant, has echo, or feels hollow and mechanical, it's exhausting to listen to. There's a real cognitive strain that adds up when you're in online meetings all day.

Well done, Rob & team! A well-written and interesting read. I'm curious about possible solutions which allow care coordinators more time for supervision. Maybe if the long term efficiency of the MOL approach becomes evident to the administrators, it gains priority?
