Meeting with others on GoogleMeet. They are hearing an echo when they speak. What settings do I need to adjust to prevent? Or do I need a headset?

Audio echo issue during video calls on MacBook Pro Hi everyone, I have always done google meet video-calls (using Safari), I never had problems but since some weeks other people started tell me that they hear themselves back from my microphone... I do not use headphones, ok, so the problem seems to be obvious... well... but I never used them in the past 2 years. Could it be that there was some sort of automatic audio cancellation that now it does not work anymore? or it disabled itself after an update? Thank you in advance [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Mac creates echo for video call partipants in speaker mode Since a few weeks ago my Mac has developed an issue that I don't seem to be able to solve. Whenever I make a video call, whether it is on Teams, Zoom, Chine or Google Meets, the other people will hear a very bad echo on their side making the call impossible. The problem instantly goes away when I select my Airpods Pro. I can also select my iPhone as a microphone and speaker and then the problem also goes away. This is a 14" M1 Pro Steps I have taken: Turned off permissions to mic for all apps except the one I'm using during the call Deleted audio controller prefs files and restarted Reset the RAM It's maddening. Please help!

QuickTime Player echo issue while recording in Macbook M2 Pro When I want to do recording audio or video using QuickTime Player, then I get louder echo which ruins my voice. For your better understanding I am explaining it in details while I open QuickTime Player for recoding then below the recorder icon volume button is muted if I record in the same default condition then I found no echo in my recording but while I unmute and increasing the volume below the recording icon, then I found echo in my recording and even I full the volume then echo is continuing louder and nasty like announcements mics does somehow. But when I put a microphone in my Macbook M2 Pro Notebook, then no echo was found during recording either muted or unmuted condition. Is it something wrong with the hardware of the Macbook M2 Pro or its normal. My Current OS is Ventura but I was facing the same issue in Montrery OS also.

I've always had best results when using a headset. The built in mic is picking up their voice when they talk and is feeding it back.
