Devices have permission but there is still no sound

Last updated

This usually happens when headphones, a monitor, or a projector was connected earlier and your computer is still routing audio to it — most common on Windows.

Wrong microphone: Click the settings icon to the right of the mic and camera buttons. Switch to a mic that's actually connected (accept any new permission prompt).

Windows output: right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar › Sound settings, and pick the correct playback and input devices. Restart your browser if needed.

Mac output: System Settings › SoundOutput, and select the device you want.
