Answer 1

I'm going to make a wild guess here and say you don't use headphones.

If this is true, what you're hearing isn't "static", it's "feedback". Grab a set of headphones and tell your cam partner to do the same (it could be coming from their side too... which makes it horrible)

Also - if you have one of the older monitors (CRT as opposed to LCD) it could be electrical interference from it.

Move your cam away from the monitor a few inches and see if it helps.

I hope this helps!
