It is recommended that you join the video call a few minutes early to test your settings. Other tips to improve quality include the use of wired Ethernet instead of Wifi whenever possible, test your internet connection speed, and close other programs.

To reduce background noise, close any doors or windows, turn off the television, and keep pets in another room when possible.
