Google Meet Can't Find Microphone Hot! -

John then checked the Google Meet settings and realized that he had accidentally selected the wrong microphone input. In the Google Meet settings, he changed the microphone input to the correct one (his laptop's built-in microphone), and voilà! His teammates could finally hear him clearly.

| Step | Action | Check/Result | |------|--------|----------------| | 1 | | Ensure mic is plugged in (USB/3.5mm), not muted physically, and works in another app (Voice Recorder). | | 2 | Select correct input in Meet | Click 3 dots → Settings → Microphone → Choose your device from dropdown. | | 3 | Browser permissions | Click padlock icon in address bar → Allow microphone access for meet.google.com.
