Frequently asked questions
Why does this tool need microphone access?
It queries the browser's MediaDevices API to check whether audio input permissions are currently granted, denied, or prompt-based, helping you diagnose audio settings.
Does this tool record or store my voice?
No. The test runs completely on your local device. No audio streams are recorded, processed, or uploaded to any server.
How do I unblock microphone access if I accidentally clicked block?
Click the lock icon in your browser address bar next to the URL, locate the Microphone permission toggle, set it to Allow, and refresh the page.
Why does the browser not prompt me for microphone permission?
If no prompt appears, your browser may have previously saved a default block rule for this site, or microphone access may be disabled at the operating system level.
Is the microphone permission test free to use?
Yes, this tool is completely free to use with no signup or software installation required.
