If you need to do a lot of calls from a home computer with a lot of background noise (kids / pets / neighbours / significant others etc), I thoroughly recommend Krisp. It has an uncanny ability to mute background noise from any online call tool (e.g. Skype, Teams, WebEx, etc etc etc). I have no affiliation with their product, but have used it for many months now. They are also doing a special offer at the moment. Use this link to get it if you need it:
