I know using a headset helps, but you’re still talking, so…Do you adjust the mic settings to pick up even as you speak quieter, or…?

How do you check to ensure you’re still audible enough to those on the other end if you do that?

Also this isn’t a shared room situation, so that helps, but I want to be sure I’m not being too loud.

Thanks for any advice!

    Some people are overly conscientious of people around them, and ask questions like these even though they are already being completely reasonable. It’s a huge jump to assume they must be being an asshole, yelling into their mic etc. Try asking next time: “are you concerned about it because you tend to get excited and loud while chatting? Or is it more just a normal phone-call conversation volume?”
