Check that your microphone is detected, loud enough, and recording cleanly. Use the meter, then play back a short clip.
Press Start microphone. If access is needed, choose Allow; inputs appear after permission.
Meter runs after Start.
Local only.
The meter turns the microphone signal into clear states: silent, very quiet, healthy, or clipping. If it barely moves, check permission, input choice, system level, and any hardware mute switch.
A healthy signal moves when you speak normally without hitting the clipping warning. Clipping means the input is too hot and may sound distorted.
The recording control lets you hear what others may hear. Browser formats vary, so MicAndCam chooses a supported format.
The download is saved on this device, useful for comparing microphones while changing settings.
Before Zoom, Teams, or Discord, confirm the same microphone is selected here and in the app. If this works and the app does not, check app input or privacy settings.

Check the mute switch, system input level, browser permission, and selected input. On Windows 11, also check Settings > Privacy & security > Microphone.
