This mic test confirms your microphone is plugged in, picked correctly by your browser, and capturing sound clearly. Click Start Recording and grant permission when prompted. Speak normally — the level bar should bounce, the waveform should animate, and the spectrum should show energy in the speech band. Stop the recording and play it back to hear exactly what others hear in calls.
Common mic problems
- Level bar doesn't move — wrong input selected. Try the device dropdown above.
- Quiet recording — system input gain is too low; bump it up in OS sound settings.
- Permission denied — browser blocked access. Click the lock icon in the address bar to grant it.
- Bluetooth headset captures muffled audio — that's normal; HFP-mode microphones are low-bandwidth.
- Echo in playback — your speakers are loud enough for the mic to pick them up. Lower volume or use headphones.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my mic working everywhere except this browser?
Browsers ask for permission per site. Click the camera/mic icon in the address bar and explicitly allow this page. If still nothing, try a different browser to rule out a profile issue.
Can I download the recorded clip?
Yes. After stopping, the Download button saves a .webm file you can open in any media player or share with support.
Why does the spectrum show no energy when I speak?
Either the mic isn't capturing (check the level bar) or the system is hard-muted. macOS, Windows, and most Linux desktops have a separate mute toggle that overrides app-level controls.
Is the recording uploaded anywhere?
No. The mic test runs entirely in your browser. Audio never leaves your device, and the clip is gone the moment you close the tab.
