We’ve found that many Chromebook microphone issues can be solved by adjusting the microphone volume. On most Chromebooks (may not work on older Chromebooks), that can be done by:
- At the bottom right, select the time.
- Next to the volume slider, select Audio settings .
- Under “Input,” drag the microphone slider left or right (I recommend setting the volume somewhere in the middle)
Another possible audio problem is feedback (a screeching sound). This can often be solved by turning the speaker volume down and/or having the student mute themselves when not speaking.
