Mic Test

Test your microphone with a live input meter.

Check that your microphone works before a call, interview, or recording. Click start, allow mic access, and speak — the live level meter moves with your voice. If the bar stays flat, your mic isn't picking up sound. It all runs in your browser; your audio is never uploaded.
