My browser lost access to microphone

If your browser lost access to the microphone, these steps should help you fix the issue: 

  1. Restart your browser and reboot your device. This fixes most issues.

  2. Browser Permissions. Ensure that your browser has the necessary permissions to access your microphone. 

  3. Try a different browser: Sometimes, switching to another browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge) can resolve the issue.

  4. Computer settings. Check your computer settings to ensure the camera and microphone are enabled and not being blocked by any security software.

  5. Clear Browser Cache: Clearing your browser's cache can help eliminate any temporary files that might be causing the problem. Here’s how to do it:
  • Chrome: Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Clear browsing data. Select "Cached images and files" and click "Clear data."
  • Firefox: Go to Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data. Select "Cached Web Content" and click "Clear."
  • Edge: Go to Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Clear browsing data. Select "Cached images and files" and click "Clear now."
