5) Check your audio settings. Click on the dropdown arrow next to the microphone. If the Audio button is grayed out, your microphone is disabled or not available. Make sure you select the correct audio device, especially if you are using an external headset. Then, speak to see if there is movement inside the microphone icon as you speak.
6) Depending on the assignment directions (such as in a speech class), you may need to have your camera activated during the recording. If you don't want to use the webcam, you can leave it disabled.
