Can you Hear me?

Instead of saying this before every call, perhaps something different… Most conferencing platforms have a “sound check” piece built into them where you can validate your settings in advance. When you have a computer with a webcam, speakers, separate mic and stereo port, this can be a welcome addition. Log into each meeting a bit early, save five minutes, and perform your sound check.
