    wsmiller475   GoToMeeting employs a feedback reduction technique so that if your microphone is far enough away from the speakers it should keep echo to a minimum.  How far away is the mic from your in-person meeting speakers? 

     

    Have you tried using the mute-all function when in-person presentations are at hand, until the meeting is open to discussion?

    Hi AshC

     
    The conference mikes (7) are about 15-20 feet from the speakers on the walls.

      The VoIP audio options vary slightly from telephone, in that VoIP uses soft-mute commands only. 

       

      If you need to 'hard-mute' the entire audience, then dial in by phone as the Organizer, and rotate through listening modes by pressing the *5 keys.
