Peek won't record audio

Jan 15, 2021

I am trying to record a quick tutorial with Peek. The video part is fine, but it is not recording audio. I have a mic hooked up to my PC, and have tested it - it is working fine.

Hi Signe,

Thanks for reaching out! Do you see the external microphone as part of the selection when selecting the drop-down on the Audio icon?

If not, try reviewing the steps in the article below to help resolve the issue:

Yes, the mic is visible and I was able to select it. Peek still does not record audio. It works fine on my Mac, with a built-in mic - I'm glad you have the Peek app for Mac!
