Microphone Test

Watch the meter move as you talk, then record five seconds and play it back to hear what you actually sound like on a call.

Private by design: everything happens on your computer. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is saved, and the microphone is released the moment you stop the test.

Meter not moving? Nine times out of ten the wrong microphone is selected, a laptop function key has hardware-muted it, or Windows itself is blocking it — that last one lives in Settings → Privacy & security → Microphone, and it overrides the browser entirely. The line above says which microphone we're actually listening to, which usually settles it. If it's genuinely dead — we fix those.
