    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is this microphone test free?

    Yes. This tool is completely free and runs in your browser with no account required.

    Do I need to install software?

    No download is required. Allow microphone, camera, or audio permissions when your browser asks.

    Is my data uploaded?

    Audio and video are processed locally in your browser. Recordings and snapshots stay on your device unless you export them.

    Which browsers are supported?

    Chrome, Edge, and Firefox work best. Safari supports most features but may limit some device controls.

    Why are my results different from desktop software?

    Browsers expose a sandboxed subset of device APIs. Desktop apps can access lower-level drivers for lab-grade calibration.

    Can I use this before a video call?

    Yes. Run a quick test to confirm your mic, camera, or speakers work before joining Zoom, Teams, Discord, or OBS.
