How to control which apps can use the microphone

  1. Do one of the following:

    • In Windows 10, go to Start  > Settings  > Privacy  > Microphone.

    • In Windows 11, go to Start  > Settings  > Privacy & security > Microphone.

  2. In Windows 10, ensure that Microphone access for this device, Allow apps to access your microphone, and the individual toggle for the Microsoft Store app you wish to use is turned on. If you do not see the app or website you're looking for in the list, it's likely a desktop app. Desktop apps cannot be individually toggled, but access for those apps can be controlled using Allow desktop apps to access your microphone.

  3. In Windows 11, ensure that Microphone access, Let apps access your microphone, and the individual toggle for the Microsoft Store app you wish to use is turned on.
