What's the difference between mono and stereo?
Mono signals are recorded and played back using a single audio channel, while stereo sounds are recorded and played back utilizing two audio tracks - one left and one right. As a listener, the most noticeable difference is that stereo sounds are capable of producing the perception of width, whereas mono sounds flat.
Even if most standard headsets just use one mic to record your voice, cameras with built-in mics and laptops often support stereo.
Audio-only mode switches the microphone to mono, but the sound will always be stereo, wherever possible.
