How to switch your audio input device from the studio

Your microphone is the most important part of delivering high-quality broadcast audio. Whenever possible, we highly recommend using a high-quality external unidirectional microphone rather than a built-in laptop microphone.

If your primary microphone fails, disconnects, or the wrong device has been selected, you can quickly switch to another microphone connected to your computer.
