Specifically, you must use an iPhone 4 or later, iPad 2 or later, iPad mini, or iPod touch 4th generation or later. If you have a reasonably modern iOS device (running a just-as-reasonably-modern version of iOS) your have the tools you need to make and receive FaceTime video calls. It’s a great way to show-and-tell and, better yet, it can be done for free. While a phone call is a fine way to issue a quick “Hey, fruitcake, thanks!” to a not-entirely-beloved second-cousin, when you want something stronger and more heartfelt, turn to video. But that doesn’t mean that you have to entirely lose touch with your friends and family during these special days. Much as it pains you, it’s often easier to just stay home. Roadways and airports are crowded, the weather can be uncooperative, and trucking a family across country may exceed your budget. This makes our cloud-based tools very secure.Traveling over the holidays is difficult. Our cloud-based online tools use HTTPS to encrypt your data sent to and downloaded from our cloud infrastructure, and only you have access to your data (unless you have chosen to share it). Sometimes however this is not optimal or possible for tools which for example require high processing power, display maps aware of your current location, or allow you to share data. We work hard to make our tools run locally on your device since avoiding sending data over the internet is more secure.
To achieve this we use HTML5 and WebAssembly, a form of code that is run by the browser itself allowing our tools to execute at near-native speed. All the work is done locally by the browser itself, making these tools very fast and secure. Our online tools which execute locally on your device don't need to send your data (your files, your audio or video data, etc.) over the internet. Protecting your privacy is one of our main concerns when developing our tools. We develop secure online tools that are cloud-based or that execute locally on your device. Check out the “No data transfers” section below to learn more. With our microphone test your privacy is totally protected: no audio data is sent over the internet, the voice or sounds that you record never leaves your device. In that case you can check out the instructions to fix microphone issues specific to your device or application. If your microphone is not working, you’ll see an error message. Or the microphone might not function at all on your device, regardless of the application you're using.Īfter starting the test, speak loudly in your microphone and if it is working you’ll see colored sound waves appear and fade away. You might have microphone issues if the application using the microphone doesn’t have the correct settings. There are many reasons why your microphone might not be working.
It also provides instructions on how to fix your microphone on many devices and with many voice and video calls applications. Microphone Test allows you to test your microphone directly in your browser. Introduction to the Microphone Test online tool
