Use the Microphone correctly:

Most of the people don’t know where the microphone of their device is placed, so either they end up blocking the mic on their phone or they stay too far from the mic of their laptop. Blocking the mic makes your sound muffle and noisy. The mics on the phones are generally placed at the bottom of the phone and on the top bezel in the case of laptops. So make sure that they are neither blocked nor you are too far from them.
