Sound check

One minute, two steps — make sure we can hear you and you can hear us. Nothing is saved and nobody else hears this.

1. Your microphone

Start the test, then say a few words out loud and watch the bar move.

2. Your speakers

Play a short test tone. Turn your volume up about halfway first.

What your browser supports

A quick look under the hood, in case something needs a different browser.

  • Secure connection (required for the microphone)
  • Microphone access
  • Playing call audio
  • Recording a test clip
  • Choosing which speakers to use

Anything unchecked is usually fine — sessions can also run over Google Voice, a regular phone call, or Zoom/Teams if your browser can't do sound.

Trouble that won't go away? Tell your instructor and they'll call you another way.
