Most popular web browsers ask for your permission before allowing access to your webcam, microphone or other devices.
If you’re having trouble with the microphone, check that your browser did give Google Meet access to the microphone itself. In most browsers, just click the padlock icon before the URL and make sure you have the necessary permissions.
If multiple audio inputs or outputs are connected to the computer, Meet can get confused and select the wrong devices as the desired audio input.

If your microphone is used by other applications or browser extensions on a Mac, Google Meet can’t use it effectively. To share the microphone with all applications that use it, close all open applications and enter the following command in Terminal.
