Check live microphone input

Your live microphone audio is handled by your browser and is not uploaded to any server.

The practical guide

See whether the browser is receiving useful microphone input.

The live meter, waveform, peak level, device label, and optional test clip are created with browser media APIs.

01

Watch the meter

Speak at a normal distance and check that the level changes without remaining pinned at zero or maximum.

02

Record a short clip

Playback helps reveal clipping, hum, echo, noise suppression, or the wrong selected microphone.

03

Real browser format

The clip uses WebM or OGG when supported. The tool does not pretend to create MP3.

Privacy by architecture

Your microphone audio stays in your browser.

Audio tracks stop when you stop the test or leave the route. Clips are saved only when you choose Download.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Is microphone audio uploaded?

No. Metering, waveform drawing, recording, and playback happen locally.

Why is there no input?

Check browser permission, operating-system input settings, mute switches, and whether another app has the device.

Can I choose another microphone?

Yes when the browser reveals multiple audio inputs after permission.
