Removing background noise during a RingCentral Video meeting

Last updated on April 28, 2022

RingCentral background noise reduction is turned on at the Regular level by default and filters out constant sounds picked up by your microphone such as car noise, wind, or fans.

If you’re in a meeting in a location with the potential for sharp sounds, such as a dog barking, or a baby crying, you can select the Advanced option.

Desktop & web

Mobile

In a meeting, click the up-arrow next to Mute/Unmute microphone in the bottom menu.
Under Remove my background noise, select an option:
- None: Turns off background noise reduction.
- Regular: Removes constant background noise like cars or fans (default setting).
- Advanced: Removes sharp noises such as typing, a car horn, or a dog barking.

Note:

If you don’t see background noise reduction in the menu, make sure you have the RingCentral app version 22.1.30 or later.
If you selected the Advanced setting:
- It will stay on for the duration of the meeting and will reset back to the default option (Regular) for your next meeting.
- It will increase the CPU usage of the RingCentral app. If you notice signs of high CPU usage, like your voice sounding choppy to others, you might want to switch back to Regular.
- If your CPU usage gets too high, it will automatically switch to Regular, and you’ll receive a warning pop-up message of this change.

In a meeting, tap the More button in the bottom menu.
Tap Settings > Remove background noise.

Select an option:
- Regular: Removes constant background noise like cars or fans (default setting).
- Advanced: Removes sharp sounds such as typing, a car horn, or a dog barking. Advanced is available on these mobile devices.
- Off: Turns off background noise reduction.
