Telecommuters can use desktop microphones when they need to participate in a videoconference or using other VOIP programs. Having the ability to speak with co-workers or supervisors is important for telecommuters. You should always ensure that your microphone has some type of background noise reduction feature and a mute button, so that you can control what noises are heard on the other side.
