Check that your microphone works before your next call or recording. Watch the live meter, record a five-second clip, and hear exactly how you sound — right here in your browser.
Your browser will ask for permission — that prompt is the first thing this test checks.
Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is recorded or sent anywhere.
Chairkick records your screen and voice straight from the browser — no download, free to start. Share a link instead of scheduling a meeting.
If this test works, your hardware and browser are fine — the problem is the other app's input setting. Most call and recording apps have their own microphone picker that can point at a different (or unplugged) device. Set it to the same microphone you selected here. On external mics, also check the physical mute switch and that it's plugged into the port you think it is.
Yes. The test runs entirely in your browser using its built-in microphone APIs. The level meter, waveform, and the optional 5-second clip never leave your device, and nothing is uploaded to any server.
Browsers require your explicit consent before any website can hear your microphone. Seeing that prompt is a good sign — it means the test is reaching your browser's microphone system correctly.
In order: the physical mute switch on your mic or headset, your system's input device (the test's device picker shows which mic the browser is using), browser permission (address-bar icon), and finally your operating system's microphone privacy setting.
Yes — the test works in mobile Safari and Chrome the same way. Your phone will show its own permission prompt the first time.
The 5-second clip above gives you a quick preview. For the real thing, record a short screen recording with Chairkick — it's free, runs in the same browser you just tested, and uses the exact same microphone.
Record your screen and voice in the browser, then share a link that anyone can watch — no downloads for you, no sign-ups for viewers.
