Fix call audio (they can't hear me)

Microphone problems, one-way audio, and the Test it button.

In the app: CallsVoice plan · $25/mo

When a customer can't hear you, the problem is almost always your computer's microphone, not the line.

  1. On the Calls page, find Microphone, pick the mic you actually talk into, and press Test it.
  2. Speak. "We heard you" means it works. "Nothing came through" or "isn't producing any audio" means try another mic in the list.
  3. Check the mic's own mute switch, and close other apps that might be using it (Zoom, Teams, a recorder).
  4. If your browser blocked the microphone, click the icon left of the address bar, allow the microphone for this site, and reload. On a phone: Settings → WorkBench → Microphone.

WorkBench also watches the mic during a call and shows a warning if your voice isn't getting out.

If something's not working

The test works but callers still can't hear me.
A VPN or strict office firewall can block call audio. Turn the VPN off or try another network.
I'm using a Bluetooth headset and it sounds bad or silent.
Some headsets only send your voice in "hands-free" mode. Pick the headset's hands-free input in the mic list, or use the computer's built-in mic.
