Mic Test

Check that your microphone works and sounds good. Speak into your mic and watch the level meter move. Record a clip and play it back to hear yourself.

Waiting for microphone…

💡 Troubleshooting tips

  • If the meter doesn't move, your mic is muted, unplugged, or not selected as the browser's default input.
  • If your voice sounds distant or quiet, move closer to the mic and check your system's input volume.
  • If you hear echo or static, try disabling audio enhancements in your OS sound settings.

💡 Frequently Asked Questions

How do I test my microphone online?
Click 'Start Mic Test', allow microphone access when prompted, then speak. If the level meter moves, your mic is working. Record a clip and play it back to hear exactly how you sound.
Why isn't my microphone working?
Common causes: the mic is muted or unplugged, the browser has a different default input selected, or microphone permission is blocked. Check your system's input settings and browser permissions, then re-run the test.
My mic sounds quiet or distant — what's wrong?
Usually it's input volume, not the mic itself. Raise the input/mic level in your OS sound settings, move closer to the mic, and check you're speaking into the correct side of the mic.
Can I test my microphone on my phone?
Yes. Open this page in your phone's browser, tap Start, and allow mic access. This works for the built-in mic, wired headsets, and Bluetooth earbuds.
How do I fix echo or static in my mic?
Try disabling audio 'enhancements' in your OS sound settings, move the mic away from speakers, lower the playback volume, and close other apps using the microphone.
