Troubleshooting Microphone Issues
If the visualizer isn't moving or you can't hear yourself, try these steps:
1. Check Permissions
Ensure you have allowed the browser to access your microphone. Look for a microphone icon in the address bar and click "Allow".
2. Select Correct Device
If you have multiple microphones (e.g., laptop built-in, headset, webcam), use the dropdown menu to select the correct input device.
3. System Settings
Check your computer's sound settings (Windows/Mac) to ensure the microphone input volume is not muted or set to zero.
