Quiet mode with Facebook live

I filmed a live this afternoon and my voice kept going in and out of loud & almost silent. I’ve watched it back and to view it is the same up & down of volume. It says at bottom of screen ‘Quiet mode is on, swipe left to see comments’.

Went on business zoom call tonight & collegues experiences me initially talk

loud then it seemed as if I cut out.

Facebook Live audio pulses using iPad Recently, Facebook Live audio began pulsing overriding all voices. Using an up to date iPad. Troubleshooting things I have tried but the problem continues to persist: Deleted and reinstall Facebook Broadcasted using a different network in a different location Changed geographic locations Reset ipad settings Turned on and off the ipad permission for microphone Also used the iPad photo app and recorded video/audio with no problems. Problem appears to be isolated to only Facebook Live. Please help - this iPad is used for a single purpose Facebook Live recording of weekly religious service and is not used for any other purpose. We are stymied.

Mic doesn't always work (Zoom, Instagram video calls) MIC QUESTION: Okay, so I have a 4th gen iPad Air and I'm having weird mic issues. So my microphone works with some apps -- I can record video with sound. It works with Google Meet. It works with FaceTime and Siri. But it does NOT work with Instagram video or Zoom. HOWEVER -- if I have something plugged into the charging port when I'm using Zoom (for example, I'll connect the iPad to my gym TV for my boxing classes) the mic works just fine! So it doesn't feel like this is a specific Zoom problem? I have: -Tested the mic with other apps (see above) -Tested each individual mic (whispering "hey Siri" into each one to see if she responded. And yeah, that felt kinda creepy. -Made sure that all apps have permission to use the mic. -Made use that I am not muted -Closed all other apps while using Zoom or Instagram to make sure that no other app was using the mic -Cleaned all mic ports with compressed air -Removed the protective case to see if that's the cause -Uninstalled and re-installed Instagram and Zoom -Did a factory reset of the iPad Zoom does not even register that I'm talking (there's no green flash on the mic icon to show that sound is being picked up.) If anyone has any suggestions (besides a taking a hammer to it and screaming into the void) please let me know!

Hey, sharlenemuir.

I see that, when you're making a video or streaming live, the sound from the microphone fluctuates. Your iPhone seems to be engaging "quiet mode", and I'm happy to help.

How to put your iPhone on vibrate, ring, or silent mode -- Make sure that the Ring/Silent switch isn't set to Silent. Also, go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics, turn the Ringer and Alerts slider as loud as you'd like and make sure to turn off "Change with Buttons" to make sure the volume isn't inadvertently being lowered.

If the microphones on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch aren't working -- This article gives you steps to use to test the microphone of your iPhone.

Cheers!
