How to Remove Background Noise in Meetings

In this step-by-step tutorial video, learn how to remove background noise in virtual meetings and while playing games. You can use this to eliminate background noise while both speaking and listening in Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, Discord, Slack, and other meeting products. Also, you can eliminate background noise while playing games. Sitting in a cafe, outside, or have loud kids? This eliminates all of those background sounds.

This video focuses on NVIDIA RTX Voice, which removes noise if you have a NVIDIA graphics card. I also look at Krisp, which works irrespective of your graphics card, and also removes background noise. Both work extremely well at removing background noise and sounds

Kevin! You have no idea how much it could help me! I have an important presentation coming up. Most of my calls these days are disturbed by our neighbour's dog barks. I don't have any noice cancelling headphones. Did not have much faith for sharp sounds like that. Just tested Krisp immediately after seeing this video. Tested on recording and with a friend on Teams call. Works perfectly on Mac! Thank you so much.

I would have never thought this would be possible. Thanks for this awesome tutorial Kevin. Always enjoy learning helpful tips like this :)

This is great. I am on video calls all day and people always complain about my background noise. I installed Krisp and looking forward to seeing how it goes. Thank you!

[someshkumar]

thanks, brother, it will be very helpful for my online classes, and I'm 2nd

Very useful video! Thank you so much - I start teaching online this week so I will also let my students know about this. And I'm grateful that you also flagged the "freemium" ness of these apps. One request - my students in university tend to use more mobile devices than desktops so if you can also have future videos on productivity apps for mobile devices specifically that would be great! Have a wonderful day!

I can't even begin to hank you for this video! This will do wonders for my Podcast. I have to admit, even though I have a Nvidia GeForce GPU, the KRISP application did superbly better! When I ran the test with Audacity, nothing, absolutely NOTHING recorded except my voice. I left my AC and had a fan near the MIC running, and both were isolated from the recording. I am extremely happy...again, thank you!!!

I need this as we do many e-training and we have complaints from the client saying that they hear background noise! I will share it with my HQ and see if they will invest into this. Thank you, Kevin, you are the best!

Kevin, your microphone (or something in your audio setup) emphasizes the lower octaves in your voice.
Some folks like the extra bass, but it is not natural sounding.

This is subjective. When it comes to audio recordings and reproduction, people's likes and dislikes will vary wildly. I prefer sound that does not sound processed; that sounds realistic. Your voice, albeit clear, does not sound genuine. You can tell that it is bass boosted.

And great video!

Superb Kevin. Awesome video. I once watched one of your PowerPoint tip video for my school project and I've been watching all your videos. They are really useful and congrats for 250K subscribers.

I'm finding this all a bit techy. Maybe because I've been at work all day I'm a bit overloaded, the tutorial is very clear and well explained, but I can't cope with it.

The best playlist to learn audacity thanks man

Nope. I don't have an Nvidia graphics card. I have an AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics Card instead. Never mind. I tried Krisp while watching this video. It worked really well except when I had it connected to my Blue Yetti it kept having this crackling sound. No matter what I did I couldn't remove it. So eventually I uninstalled it. Now I am not getting the crackling sound either. Do you know of any other system I can use to hopefully take my sound to the next level? I have already soundproofed my home office to the best of my ability and budget. It has done a pretty good job. Hopefully, It wasn't a waste of time or money soundproofing. My wife and son are away at the moment, so I guess the real test of my soundproofing is when they get back. Great video mate. How are you finding it being a fulltime YouTuber?

[RogerZoul]

Incredibly useful and timely. Thanks.

Thank you Kev.. I just realize that my laptop has Nvidia. I have successfully installed RTX voice.

Hi Kevin,
In these few days I have honestly learnt so much that I reckon your channel is becoming really quite addictive. Great job.
I have a special request: 👇
I use android phone (BlackBerry Keyone) as my daily driver design-editing tool. Unfortunately, I live in a very noisy environment and having to soundproof my walls is honestly too expensive for me, so it is such an headache doing any voiceover or recording.
Is there any solution to remove background noise using android like the video tutorial for Windows 10? If yes, kindly share suggestions and also do a video on this. Thanks ahead.

[darkhog]

Kevin! Stop picking on my kids! They like each other, so maybe they're playing loudly and not fighting. Maybe my co-worker is hot, so I want to eliminate the road noise from their open window! Insightful video, as usual, just leave the kids out of it. 😜 Thank you. =)

[nileshmodi]

I have learnt a lot of things from you...You are best
Love from india...

[englishmadeeasy]

I'm fascinated with this and will try it out tomorrow.

[elenapark]

Thanks Kevin! Now I don't have to wait for my family to fall asleep^^

One of the best on YouTube. Congrats. Idea, I am a teacher with 6 classes setup by my admin. I need to upload the same file 6 times to the 6 different private group. Any idea how to make it faster, or even shared between teams. Going to share file directly?.. cheers.
