How to Test Your Mic Online?

1. Unblock Your Mic in the Browser

If you notice a blocked mic icon in the address bar, it means your browser is preventing access.

• Click on the blocked mic icon.
• A popup will appear stating that access to the microphone is blocked.
• Select “Always allow access to the microphone.”
• Click Done and refresh the page.

Now, speak into the mic. If you see sound waves moving, your mic is working perfectly! 🎤

2. Enable Microphone Access in Browser Settings

If the microphone still doesn’t work, manually enable mic access in your browser settings:

• Open Chrome Settings
• Search for Microphone
• Go to Site Settings > Microphone
• Select the correct microphone from the dropdown

Now, retry the mic test!

3. Grant Mic Permission on macOS

On macOS, microphone access may be disabled at the system level. To enable it:

• Open System Preferences
• Select Security & Privacy
• Click Microphone and allow access for your browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari).

Once enabled, retry the test to check if the mic is working.

4. Testing an External Microphone

If you’re using an external mic, test it on other apps like Zoom, Skype, or FaceTime.

If the mic doesn’t work across different apps, check:

✅ Is the mic plugged into the correct port?

✅ Are the cables properly connected?

✅ Is the device driver updated?

Update Mic Drivers on macOS:
Click Apple Menu > About This Mac > Software Update

Update Mic Drivers on Windows:

• Open Control Panel > Device Manager
• Go to Audio Inputs & Outputs
• Select Microphone Array
• Click Update Driver

5. Company Device Restrictions

If you’re using a work laptop, microphone access might be blocked due to security policies.
Contact your IT team to enable mic access for third-party websites.

6. Reinstall the Browser Extension

If you’re using a browser extension for mic recording and it’s not working, try reinstalling it:

• Click the three-dot menu in Chrome
• Select More Tools > Extensions
• Find the extension and click Remove
• Reinstall it and restart your browser

Now, retry the microphone test!

Final Check

🎤 Speak into the mic and watch the sound waves move. If you see movement, your microphone is working!
