Audio Encoding

The process of converting analog or digital audio signals into a digital format that can be efficiently transmitted, stored, or streamed. In the context of meetings, audio encoding ensures that sound captured during meetings, webinars, or presentations is compressed and converted into digital files or streams with minimal loss of quality. Different audio encoding algorithms and formats are used to optimize audio files for various purposes, such as real-time communication, recording, or playback. High-quality audio encoding is crucial for clear and intelligible audio in virtual meetings, as it reduces bandwidth requirements and ensures that participants can hear and understand each other effectively.
