If your friends or family live far away, Skype is the best way to contact them. But, if the sound quality is poor, then the conversation will not go smoothly, so you need to increase the microphone’s volume.

- In the new window, you will see the active microphone and that it is selected with a green tick mark.
- Then, double click on “Microphone,” and you will be directed to the “Properties” window. There you will see five tabs, select “Levels.”
- When you open the tab, you will see two options: Microphone and Microphone Boost.
