Sound Issues

  • "I can see the candidate/recruiter, but they can’t hear me"

  • "We can’t hear each other"

  • "My computer is using the wrong camera"

Solution

  • Make sure that the microphone is plugged in and Hinterview has permission to access the hardware (See Allow Permissions article)

  • Confirm that the microphone is working. There are lots of microphone test sites if you type it into Google

  • Close other applications which may be using your microphone like Skype, FaceTime or other open web pages

  • Check both headsets are working by trying to play music through them

  • You have the incorrect Camera selected (See "Change Selected Camera" below)

Change Selected Microphone

Google Chrome

Click the video camera icon at the right of your address bar in the top right of your screen, select Manage.

Click Microphone and then from the drop down menu choose the right mic.

Refresh the Hinterview web page and start a new video session if required.

Firefox

Click the video camera icon at the left of your address bar in the top left of your screen.

From the drop down menu choose the right microphone.

Still struggling?
