My son’s teacher wants him working in Chrome but the mic isn’t working when he goes into his zoom meeting. The teacher can’t hear him, when I switch to Edge, she can hear him. Her answer is “come by the school and pick up one of the school’s Chromebooks.” We had a chromebook but it would crash our WiFi every time we turned it on, so we returned it. We have a HP laptop that is only 7 months old that’s the next step up from the Chromebooks. Should we get rid of Edge? It seems like it’s competing with Chrome and taking all the mic access with it.

Hi Alyss, I don’t think Edge will take over Chrome for microphone access. You could check the Chrome browsers Microphone settings and make sure it’s Enabled instead of being disabled. You can choose the Input as a system Microphone or whatever is reflected in the Edge Browser microphone settings.

Also, please consider running the Sound Test within Windows OS for testing the Microphone. I believe this should work since your Edge is working without issue. Check out this article as well on fixing Google Chrome No Sound or Audio Output

Hi Pat, the ‘Site Permissions’ tab is visible in the sidebar pane. Do you have got the latest Microsoft Edge browser? Perhaps you might be using the Edge legacy browser.

As far as I can determine there is no way to block camera use in Edge.

Looks like an uninstall is in its future – on my pc anyway!
