When recording a call, it is crucial to ensure optimal audio quality by avoiding any additional background noise or interference.

Having such tabs open can severely degrade the quality of the recording, causing distortions or unwanted audio artifacts. By minimizing any potential audio distractions, you can ensure a clear and high-quality recording of your call.
