How do I allow microphone access on Google Meet?

To allow microphone access on Google Meet, you typically grant permission to the website when prompted by your web browser.

Granting Microphone Access on Google Meet in a Browser

When you start or join a Google Meet session in a web browser, the site needs your permission to use your microphone (and camera). Granting this permission changes the setting to allow access for future visits from that site.

Here are the steps to allow microphone access directly from the Google Meet homepage, based on the standard browser prompt:

1. In your web browser, go to the Meet homepage. You can visit meet.google.com.
2. Click New meeting.
3. When prompted by your browser (usually near the top of the window), click Always allow https://meet.google.com to access your camera and microphone.
4. Click Done on the prompt.

By following these steps, you are explicitly granting the Google Meet website permission to use your microphone whenever you visit it from that browser. This ensures that your audio is picked up during meetings.

This process effectively changes the browser's site settings for Google Meet, making it a permanent permission unless you revoke it later through your browser's privacy settings.
