What Microphone Test does

Can they hear you?. Check your mic before a call or recording — level, the right device and how you actually sound.

  • Live level meter with too quiet / too loud hints
  • Record 5 or 10 seconds and play it back
  • Step-by-step fixes when permission is blocked

How it works

  1. 1Tap "Turn on microphone" and choose Allow when your browser asks.
  2. 2Speak normally and watch the level bars move.
  3. 3Pick another microphone from the list if the bars stay flat.
  4. 4Record a short clip and play it back to hear how you sound.

Common questions

Is my voice recorded or uploaded?

No. Sound goes from your microphone to this browser tab only. A test clip is made only when you press Record, stays in the tab and disappears when you close it.

The bars don't move. What should I check?

Pick another microphone from the list, check the mute switch on your headset, and close apps like Zoom or Teams that may be using the mic.

I blocked the permission by mistake.

Open the "Permission blocked" help on the page — it shows the exact steps for your browser, phone or computer.

It works here but not in Zoom or Meet.

Your mic is fine. In that app's audio settings, pick the same microphone you see selected here, and make sure the app has mic permission in your system settings.
