Google Meet no audio, can't hear others or they can't hear you
Your microphone or speakers are either muted, disconnected, or Google Meet does not have permission to use them. Unmute your microphone, check the speaker volume, and give Google Meet permission to access your audio.
Audio problems in Google Meet happen when your microphone or speakers are muted, when your device is not recognized, or when Google Meet lacks permission to use them. We will unmute your audio, check permissions, and test your devices.
