      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;So does AFCS have echo cancellation for voip calls?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I know connect pro is supposed to and I know that the stock flash player with stratus does not.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Sorry if this is an obvious question.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Eric&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Fang,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;       Thanks for the info, that's pretty disappointing.  I ran into the&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;same thing using stratus and there's a long running bug request for AEC&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;support.  I'm sure there's a reason but it's amazing to me that they claim&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;in both places to support VOIP, but with no AEC it's pretty much unusable.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There's too many people with laptops and built in mics for it to be a real&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;deployable solution.   Anyone who's working with the voip components now&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;should know they're in for some serious headaches when they deploy...   The&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;even stranger thing is it's supported in Adobe Connect Pro so that means at&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;least some group at Adobe acknowledges how important it is.   Now if we&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;could get access to the connect pro player somehow through this program that&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;could solve all this.   Can anyone from Adobe comment on this?   I guess I'm&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;back to using something else for now.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-Eric&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi Eric,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;  In general, we recommend headsets for VoIP-intensive apps. We've had customers with quite a bit of success with this workflow, although I understand that for casual "on-the-fly" VoIP, people might not have headsets handy. Still, your claim of "unusable" is stretching it quite a bit - in general, quality from built in mics is poor enough that it's pretty advisable to use a headset/mic combo anyhow, AEC or no (have you used Pro's VoIP w/o a headset?). All this said, of course we're pushing to have more cancellation put into the player.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;  nigel&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Nigel,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;         I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.   While headsets do solve&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;the echo problem (from an engineering point of view), most people simply do&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;not have headsets.   So that means for a wide variety of people their first&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;experience with a program developed on this platform will be that there was&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;too much echo and it didn't work for them.   At that point I've already lost&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;them, I can tell them they need headsets but they won't get them.   So while&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;the problem can be solved technically in this way, in real life most users&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;won't do it, they'll just switch to something that has echo cancellation.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have not used pro w/o a headset, I've only heard it has AEC.   But I do&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;use google video chat w/o a headset on both ends and that works really&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;well.   They're using the GIPS engine and that seems to work great.   I look&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;forward to a flash player that has good quality AEC.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-Eric&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi Fang, et. al.,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'd like to weigh in on this discussion with an EMPHATIC request for Automatic Echo Cancellation support for AFCS via the Flash Player (with as much "weight" as I can muster, Fang). Apologies in advance for the bluntness of this post, but I feel strongly about this issue and want to convey the extreme importance it has to the future of my company’s ability to compete with a service that leverages AFCS. I offer this as a "friend" of AFCS and someone who very much wants to see it succeed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt; Frankly, I was quite surprised and disappointed to hear that support for AEC is NOT ALREADY in place. With major VoIP competitors such as Skype and Google Talk already incorporating AEC into their services (the latter one being delivered "in the browser"), the bar is already set. AEC is a MUST HAVE for any VoIP application. With all due respect and in the spirit of constructive criticism, I believe that making statements like "we recommend that customers use headsets" when the competition has already deployed solutions that enable conversations WITHOUT headsets to occur with spontaneity, ubiquity (news flash: plenty of potential users out there do NOT HAVE headsets) and, crucially, high quality, betrays either a lack of appreciation for the competitive landscape or a lack of seriousness about winning in this space.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt; Though Adobe is certainly doing some powerful things in the area of real-time data communications and has opened up some of these capabilities in innovative ways (kudos AFCS team!), the fact is that the company is currently BEHIND in A/V communications. Simple use of Skype or Google Talk easily confirms this. If, by any chance, there is a lack of clarity within the Adobe organization about consumer EXPECTATIONS about "headset-less" VoIP, simple observation and/or surveying of Skype and Google Talk users will quickly sort this out as well…&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt; So, as an AFCS developer who is 100% rooting for Adobe to succeed, I hope and trust that Adobe has the vision, resources and commitment required to provide a competitive solution for ubiquitous browser based communications through its Flash platform (a key strategic opportunity and imperative if I've ever seen one!). And surely the company won't allow organizational divisions (Flash player vs. AFCS service, etc.) get in the way of success, right?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt; If so, I'm confident that I'm speaking for numerous current and future AFCS developers when I sincerely request that Adobe:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 1. acknowledge the necessity of AEC support for Flash with no ifs, ands or buts,&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 2. announce upcoming support for it along with a target release date in the reasonably near future and&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 3. deliver a high quality solution we can all be proud of in a timely fashion&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;BR /&gt; Doing so, beginning with #1 and 2 ASAP, will be immensely helpful to developers like us, who are ALREADY getting pressure from investors and partners to search for higher quality A/V communication alertnatives to AFCS.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt; Thanks for taking the time to consider this post and very best regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt; Travis&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;---&lt;BR /&gt;Travis Millman&lt;BR /&gt;CEO&lt;BR /&gt;Readaroo, LLC&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi Travis,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My name is Rob Christensen and I am a product manager working on Adobe AIR within the Flash platform team. I wanted to drop you a note and say that you are most definitely not the first customer to request this and we are considering this feature for a future release. While I am unable to mention a specific date at this time, I can most definitely acknowledge that AEC is an important capability that we want to add to the platform. There are many use cases we can think of where this is important. I will make a note to circle back with you as someone that is extremely interested in this capability.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Rob Christensen&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Product Manager, Adobe AIR&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi there&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;I would like to add my views to this too. As someone who has founded a startup and has been developing a web video phone for the last 8 months I feel as strongly as the others who have commented on &lt;SPAN&gt;AEC&lt;/SPAN&gt;. This is by far the single biggest issue with using Flash for &lt;SPAN&gt;VoIP&lt;/SPAN&gt; and almost makes real-time communication through Flash unworkable.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Our user testing has shown clearly that people who want to chat over the web do not want to use headphones. There are numerous reasons for this:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;OL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Without &lt;SPAN&gt;AEC&lt;/SPAN&gt; ridiculous feedback can occur causing a manic screaming sound. One of these and the user is gone forever.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;People often chat as a group&amp;nbsp; - think about you, your wife and little one chatting to &lt;SPAN&gt;granma&lt;/SPAN&gt; and grandpa; or a teenager with her friend chatting to another group of friends, chatting to your parents etc&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;People need the hands free aspect - its nice to be able to walk away from the computer and carry on talking, the great thing about video calling is that the person feels like they are there so you can chat while you are doing something else, or showing them around your apartment etc&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;People don't want to have to plug-in and unplug headphones every time they get a call. Then they have to adjust their volume to get the right sound levels.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Like Travis said, the competitors are doing it. I believe good &lt;SPAN&gt;AEC&lt;/SPAN&gt; adds about 70% in utility (happiness) to the user. With poor &lt;SPAN&gt;AEC&lt;/SPAN&gt; you have almost lost the customer before they have even tried your service. I don't say this lightly. I say this as someone who has invested money into a Flash application, tested it with other users, and unfortunately just won't be competitive unless the Echo issues can be solved.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It seems that in this case Adobe really have focussed on the detail and missed the most important aspect of the problem they needed to solve.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I know that Adobe do not like to give dates out for when we can expect changes, but I hope that because of all the time and money we in this thread (and all the others out there) have spent developing in Flash that you will see past this and let us know when we can expect an update. Your exact plans for this is what we deserve.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Travis, have you managed to find a work around? I have been thinking about a server side solution. It basically involves decoding the &lt;SPAN&gt;Speex&lt;/SPAN&gt; stream to RAW, running an &lt;SPAN&gt;AEC&lt;/SPAN&gt; algorithm, re-encoding and sending the data on its way. Its just a thought and I not sure on the additional latency it will add.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Could also have a small client side AEC that the user would download, but this negates the whole idea of being web-based.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Anyone who has any thoughts on this please email me: &lt;SPAN&gt;kavan&lt;/SPAN&gt; at &lt;SPAN&gt;saymama&lt;/SPAN&gt;.com&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;To the Adobe crew, please help us out on this one. We really need it, and would greatly appeciate it!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Kavan&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;CEO &lt;SPAN&gt;SayMama&lt;/SPAN&gt;.com&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ok so I have been up all night and have managed to get to the bottom of this.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We are not the only people complaining about this. You can find other disgruntelled developers:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;here &lt;A href="http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-1766"&gt;http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-1766&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;and more importantly here &lt;A href="http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-273"&gt;http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-273&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It turns out the Adobe does have AEC. They use it on Adobe Connect Pro &lt;A href="http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatconnectpro/"&gt;http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatconnectpro/&lt;/A&gt;. The AEC is delivered via a Flash plugin (yes they exist) through Flash Player Express Install (see &lt;A href="http://www.flashmagazine.com/news/detail/plugins_for_the_flash_player/"&gt;http://www.flashmagazine.com/news/detail/plugins_for_the_flash_player/&lt;/A&gt;). The Express Install mechanism has been used since Flash 7 to auto update Flash and it is used in install AIR.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You can read more about all this from Aaron Drew here: &lt;A href="http://www.flashmagazine.com/news/detail/plugins_for_the_flash_player/"&gt;http://www.flashmagazine.com/news/detail/plugins_for_the_flash_player/&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So there are two very simple solutions that Adobe could do immediately without releasing a new Flash version:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. Allow our users to install the Adobe Connect Pro plugin. This is super simple and could be done today, but it has additional functionality that Adobe may not want to share in which case...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. Take the AEC out of Connect Pro and package it by itself as Adobe AEC plugin. Again a super simple solution implemented in a few days.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have thought about why they haven't done this as it has been a problem for so long. Everything is in place, someone just needs to say, "Yes, do it".&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But I can only come up with one answer. And it is cynical hence the tone of this post.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatconnectpro/purchase/comparison.html"&gt;http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatconnectpro/purchase/comparison.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Think we should move this over to:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A class="active_link" href="http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-273"&gt;http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-273&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Belated thanks for your reply, Rob. I went heads down for a while there preparing for and meeting with some key strategic partners necessary for the launch of our business. Things went swimmingly well except for one demo in which one of my colleauges forgot to wear a headset. The echo and nastly escalating feedback loop immediately focused attention on and triggered questions about the robustness of our A/V conferencing solution. I know you know all this and appreciate your (cautious) statement of support, but thought you'd want to hear this report "from the trenches".&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Based on Kavan at Saymama's investigation and suggestions, I can't help wondering if there is a fast track solution that might be possible even before a more elegant one. Obviously, such tradeoff analysis is the bread and butter of you Product Managers so we're counting on you to lead the way! Whatever you can do to clue us in as to the nature and timing of a solution or solutions would be extremely helpful.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks and best regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Travis&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi Travis,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp; I can't help wondering if there is a fast track solution that might be possible even before a more elegant one&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately, I do not have any suggestions on a short-term solution that does not involve using headsets. Have you submitted a feature request to Jira? There may already be a request in there in which case I would encourage you to vote for it. We hear you loud and clear and we are interested in adding this to AIR in the future.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- Rob&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Adobe AIR Team&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Rob,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the suggestion. Kavan from Saymama has pointed to some very active JIRA posts on this issue. The main one is &lt;A href="http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-273" target="test_blank"&gt;http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-273&lt;/A&gt; for your convenience. I have voted for it and so have 123 other users of this board, which makes AEC the #5 most requested/voted for feature for Flash (and, IMHO, in the top 2 or 3 in terms of commerical importance).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The Flash developer community has spoken! AEC is needed *yesterday* in terms of the competitive landscape. As Kavan pointed out, it appears that AEC support for Flash actually exists and is already deployed - but only for ConnectNow (see Kavan's post which came just before mine). Strange, right? So, with due respect and love in my heart, it's time that Adobe got off the stick on this one. &lt;IMG src="https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/legacyfs/online/emoticons/happy.png" /&gt; There are many of us out here counting on you guys! &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;A thousand thanks for your time, interest and support,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Travis&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi Adobe devs..&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; Could you let us know the status for adding AEC to Flash?&amp;nbsp; Is it currently in development?&amp;nbsp; I have voted for the feature (&lt;A href="http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-273http://"&gt;http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-273&lt;/A&gt;) , as have 147 others.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; I basically need to know whether to continue developing my app in AFCS or move to a different VOIP technology.&amp;nbsp; If it is not in development, then I will have to use some other technology..&amp;nbsp; I simply cannot tell my users to use a headset - most people are used to not wearing headsets when using apps like Skype, and your own Adobe Connect.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; I think you're doing great stuff with AFCS, but this is a major point, and for me - a showstopper.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mark&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Our company is also very interested in using Flash solutions for audio, but the lack of AEC is really a big drawback. We are also very interested in more information about the current status on this issue.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Michiel&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;AEC is something flash player will provide in future and when that happens, LCCS will automatically start to have AEC for its audio. You can ask in the flash forums for a more detailed timeframe.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hironmay Basu&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;P&gt;I added a pushToTalk button to my application. This little feature mute your speaker when you talk and mute also all microphones in the room. This maybe a little solution till the echo cancellation will be available.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://imundo.me" target="test_blank"&gt;http://imundo.me&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Bernard&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

The only way we can do is to lower microphone's volume, but it leads to another issue that some users's voice become very small.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="background-color: #f8fafd;"&gt;After so many complaints for the echo issue, can anyone in adobe give us a clear answer for it? Will adobe support echo cancellation? If yes, when will it happens? So that we can adjust our bussiness strategy, instead of just sitting here and wait.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="background-color: #f8fafd;"&gt;Anyone please make some updates to the community.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="background-color: #f8fafd;"&gt;Thanks and Regards&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="background-color: #f8fafd;"&gt;Jell&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
