Having trouble?

The meter doesn't move when I talk

Check for a mute button on your headset cable, ear cup or microphone. Many light up red when muted.
Choose a different microphone from the list above.
Mac: System Settings → Sound → Input. Pick your mic and check the level moves.
Windows: Settings → System → Sound → Input. Check the volume isn't at zero.
Unplug and reconnect USB mics, then press Start again.

My browser blocked the microphone

Click the mic or lock icon in the address bar and choose Allow, then reload.
Chrome / Edge: Settings → Privacy and security → Site settings → Microphone.

It says no microphone was found

Mac: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone. Turn on your browser, then quit and reopen it.
Windows: Settings → Privacy → Microphone. Allow apps and desktop apps to use it.
Desktop computers often have no built-in mic. Plug one in and try again.

It says my mic is in use

Close other apps that might be using it: Zoom, Teams, Discord, OBS, other browser tabs.
Then press Start again. Restarting the browser can also help.

Too quiet, too loud or noisy

Too quiet: move closer (about a hand's width to a foot away) or raise the input volume in your sound settings.
Too loud / CLIP: move back or lower the input volume. Clipping makes your voice sound distorted.
Noisy: turn off fans or AC, move away from your computer, or try Video-call processing in Options.

The page must start with https:// for the mic to work.
iPhone / iPad: Settings → Safari (or your browser) → Microphone → Allow.
