# Additional Tips for a Smooth Lesson * **Mute When Not Speaking**: To avoid background noise, make sure to **mute your microphone** when you're not speaking. You can do this by clicking the microphone icon in the voice channel. * **Use Push to Talk**: If you want to avoid accidental sound from your mic, you can enable **Push-to-Talk** in your settings. This way, your mic will only pick up sound when you press a designated key. * **Clear Your Workspace**: Make sure your DAW is open and your project is ready to share. If you're submitting a project beforehand, ensure that it’s uploaded to **Google Drive** or **Dropbox**, and that you’ve shared the link with your coach in advance. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
