Audio compression is a digital signal processing technique used to reduce the size of audio files or streams while maintaining acceptable audio quality. In the context of meetings, audio compression is often employed for video conferences, webinars, and recorded presentations. It helps optimize bandwidth usage and storage space, ensuring that audio can be transmitted efficiently over networks without compromising audio clarity. Popular audio compression formats like MP3 and AAC achieve this by removing redundant or less audible information from the audio signal. This ensures that audio in meetings is transmitted smoothly, enhancing the overall experience for participants, especially when dealing with limited bandwidth or storage capacity.
