Microphone Test
Speak, and see your voice: a live waveform plus an input level meter with peak hold. All analysis happens in your browser — nothing is recorded, stored, or sent anywhere.
Speak normally — the waveform should move and the level should bounce green. Everything is analyzed locally; nothing is recorded or sent anywhere.
A healthy mic at conversational distance should bounce the meter into the 30–70% range with peaks near but not pinned at 100 — constant 100% means clipping (move back or lower input gain in your OS sound settings), while a bar that barely moves means gain is too low or the wrong device is selected. A flat line with no error usually means another app holds the microphone exclusively, or your OS privacy settings block browser access (Windows: Privacy → Microphone; macOS: Privacy & Security → Microphone). Headset mics beat laptop arrays for meetings for one simple reason: consistent distance to your mouth.
