Check you're not muted: When you join a Zoom meeting you'll normally have to click to activate the microphone, because you're muted. Look for the microphone icon in the bottom left hand corner, if it's crossed out, click it to unmute your microphone. If you're on the mobile app, you'll have to "join with audio" to be able to speak or hear sound.
If using an external microphone: Many external mics have they own mute feature - make sure the mic itself isn't muted. Check your Bluetooth connection: If you join a call and no one can hear you, check you're not connected to a Bluetooth headset elsewhere in the house. It might be that an existing connection has claimed your audio.
Or, if you want to use a Bluetooth headset, make sure it's properly connected to the device running Zoom. Check the audio source in Zoom: If you're in a call and no one can hear you, you can click on the up arrow to expand the audio button in the Zoom app.
You'll then see the options available on your computer so you can use the correct microphone. Check the audio settings in Zoom: Similar to above, if you're not in a meeting you can open Zoom, open the settings and head to "audio". Here you'll have the option to set your preferences as well as test the microphone and speaker on your PC to see if it's working. If your mic is too quiet, you can turn up the levels here. My Mac can't access the mic: Sometimes your Mac might say it can't access the microphone and ask you to restart.
This might then ask for admin permission. Entering your details can then correct the mic fault without having to restart. Ensure your PC audio settings are correct: If you've not been able to fix the problem through Zoom itself, then check your settings or preferences on your computer. Above everything else, check they actually work to help isolate the problem.
Background noise is disrupting the call: If there's too much noise around you - people in the house, traffic noise, animals, aircraft, then consider using a noise cancelation app like Krisp. This can cut the background noise so you come across sounding clearer.
It can also cut background noise from others on the call, so you don't hear their noise either. Zoom has its own background noise filter too, which you can find in settings.
Different versions of Mac OS might have permissions preventing Zoom from accessing your camera. Always check your operating system permissions to make sure Zoom has access to your camera. Those are the different ways to troubleshoot your audio and video in Zoom. We hope that these tips help you get back to virtually chatting with your coworkers, friends, and family in no time. Once you've completed these steps, you will be able to speak and listen through your phone's mic and speakers.
While you are in a meeting: You can switch your audio source at anytime, even while a session is ongoing. If attendees cannot hear you well if your sound is cutting out, for example , you can select another audio source from the audio menu. To switch audio, click the upward arrow next to the Mute button and choose Switch to Phone Audio or choose another microphone from the top of the menu. Remember, if you use the Computer Audio option, that means Zoom is relying on your internet connection to transmit audio.
If your internet connection is not good, your audio will not be good. People on the other end might say you are cutting in and out or that you sound like a robot. To fix this problem, you can either: Use the Phone Call audio option Try moving closer to your wireless router for example, if you are downstairs and the router is upstairs, move upstairs into the same room as the router Try plugging your Ethernet cable directly into your computer rather than into the wireless router.
