How to check your microphone online

Whether you’re filming a video or live-streaming, sound is essential, especially if you plan to talk. Even with a good microphone, there may be issues such as finding the right distance, and sensitivity, as well as compatibility with the device and settings in different applications. So before you start recording or initiating a call, it’s worth doing a microphone test.

There are several ways to do this – for example, checking the device settings to make sure the microphone itself is connected and working, or doing a voice test in the app you will be using. However, often doing so will only show the microphone’s functionality, while sometimes you need to know exactly how your voice sounds.

If you are looking for a microphone tester with such a feature, our tool is exactly what you need! In it, you can do an online mic test with playback to know how you sound and be ready for any online meeting or voice recording.

  1. Open the online microphone tester
