So Ive been trying to recording video with my voice recorded by my laptop's microphone. But the result is my voice is buzzing with wind sounds and not so good. I look at the internet, they often use external microphone for recording. Why laptop's mic cant be dependable? Is it one of marketing strategy to buy external microphone?or theres a thing that I dont know ?

i don't know much, but my laptop's mic is fine and i don't need it too often, so it wouldn't bother me if it didn't work at all. can you use your headphone's mic?

usually put a headset on a laptop and use the microphone from the headset instead and the sound is good. Maybe you can try it.
