How can I improve audio quality in my Instagram videos when recording in noisy public places?

Invest in an inexpensive external Bluetooth microphone (around $15-20 on Amazon or at local stores). Alternatively, use wired earbuds that have a built-in microphone—position the mic close to your mouth while recording. The built-in phone microphone picks up too much background noise in busy environments, which both reduces clarity for viewers and can cause caption-generation software to misidentify words. Better audio quality significantly improves the professional appearance of your content without major investment.
