Choose the microphone and speaker

Use the device’s own mic and speaker or a connected headset. Automatic follows headsets as you plug them in.

Automatic uses the best mic and follows headsets as you connect them. Only connected devices are listed.

Phone

  1. You › Sound › Microphone.
  2. You › Sound › Sound comes out of. The phone can also use the earpiece.
You › Sound: Your voice (Microphone: Automatic), What you hear with Volume boost, Sounds and vibration, Music and other apps with Pause music while someone talks and Pause music while I talk, Sound check, and Advanced (Mic boost, even out voices and Bluetooth audio).
You › Sound.

Watch

Settings › Sound › Microphone and Sound comes out of: the watch’s own devices and Bluetooth headphones paired to the watch.

Web app

  1. On a computer: You › Sound. Pick the Microphone and the Speaker or headset. The first time, the browser asks for the microphone so the list can show the names.
  2. Saved on this device. If the one you picked is unplugged, KeyUp uses the default and says so until it is back.
  3. Some browsers (Firefox, Safari) can’t choose where sound plays: it says Uses your system’s default output.
  4. Using a mixer, an audio interface or Voicemeeter as your mic, and people say you sound quiet? Turn on Studio or Voicemeeter mic: send my mic as is under the Microphone. KeyUp then skips the browser’s echo removal, noise removal and automatic volume for that mic, which can squash a voice that is already cleaned up. It is saved for each mic on this device and is off by default. Mic boost still works on top.

iPhone

In Safari, the iPhone decides and there is no picker. The iPhone app (in private testing) has Sound comes out of and a device picker in You › Sound.
