How it works

Your audio never leaves your device

The mic test uses your browser's built-in Web Audio API to analyze the live stream from getUserMedia. No data is sent over the network, no recording is saved, and no account is required.

Step 1

Grant permission

Your browser will ask whether to allow microphone access. The prompt is the only place this site interacts with your hardware.

Step 2

Watch the meter

The bar shows the peak amplitude over a short rolling window. If it lights up when you speak, your mic is working.

Step 3

Stop when you’re done

Hit stop to release the mic. The browser tab will drop the active-mic indicator and we tear down the audio context.
