Is your microphone working? This free mic test checks it in seconds. Click the button, allow access, and speak: you will see a live waveform and a volume meter. It works with headsets, USB microphones, webcams and laptop mics, and the sound never leaves your browser.
🔒 Private: the sound is analysed in your browser only. Nothing is recorded or uploaded.
How to Test Your Microphone
Click Start microphone test and allow access when your browser asks. Then speak, clap or tap the microphone. If the green line moves and the meter rises, your microphone works. If you have several microphones, choose one from the list to test it.
