How did they know?

I didn't tell them, "I'm about to switch to the microphone", I switched to the microphone and they told me to stop and they claimed it was using all their bandwidth and to go back to using the phone instead of the microphone.

I'll take the downvotes, that's fine, but how did the people complaining know I had switched to the microphone and what were they complaining about?

How did they even know you had switched to a microphone if you didn't tell them? How did they know to blame it?

That's what I'm asking too, how did they know? I get no answer.

You sounded different, and they decided to blame unrelated internet problems on that. Easy.
