The microphone does not work

Allow the microphone for this site in the browser, then press Start again. If the Input level bar still does not move when you speak, choose Input device and pick the right one under Device.

  1. Access is blocked. The console says “microphone access blocked”. Click the icon left of the address bar, set the microphone to Allow, then press Start again. On a Mac, also check System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone for your browser.
  2. The wrong microphone is used. Microphone takes the computer's default. For a mixer, sound card or USB microphone, set Input type to Input device and choose it under Device.
  3. The level is too low. The bar should move clearly when you speak. If it barely moves, speak closer or raise the output of your mixer.
  4. Another app holds the microphone. Close video-call apps that may be using it, then try again.

Good to know: You can change the source during a live broadcast, in the Audio block on the right. The session, the code and the listeners stay.
