For some reason my microphone can't be activated anymore. It's enabled in my settings tho. How can I fix this? I need it asap for my business.

Hi @Bob Hoogerwerf 

This is usually a matter of system permissions - app / browser need to be specifically permitted to access microphone.

Another option... especially if you connect your mic using a hub, your computer just doesn't see it. It can happen intermittently (happened to me yesterday). Uplug/plug again or reinstall drivers if applicable.

You could post a helpful, natural reply like this:

Sorry you're dealing with this, especially if you need it for work.

A few things I'd check first:

• Make sure your browser or desktop app still has permission to use the microphone (sometimes an update resets permissions).

• Test the microphone in another app (Windows Voice Recorder, Zoom, or Google Meet) to see if it's a system-wide issue or just Atlassian.

• Verify that the correct input device is selected in your operating system's sound settings, especially if you recently connected a headset or USB microphone.

• Close other apps that might be using the microphone, then restart the browser or app.

• If you're using a browser, try an Incognito/Private window or a different browser to rule out an extension or cached setting.

If none of those help, it would also be useful to share:

• Your operating system (Windows/macOS)

• Which Atlassian product you're using (Loom, Rovo, Jira, etc.)

• Whether the microphone works in other applications.

That information will make it easier for others to narrow down the cause.
