Worked example
Before a job interview call, record a clip to check that you sound clear and that the right microphone is selected, not the webcam’s.
Why is the meter flat?
Check that the right device is selected, that it is not muted in the system settings, and that the browser was given permission.
Is my audio recorded or uploaded?
No. Audio stays in your browser; the playback clip is kept only on your device.
