Unable to use mic on google meet on safari

For the past 2 weeks or so since I updated safari on my M1 MacBook Air, I have been unable to use my mic on safari(Version 15.0 (16612.1.29.41.4, 16612)) on Google meet. I am constantly forced to use Chrome since I have no issues with my mic on Chrome. However this comes with the cost of incredibly reducing the battery life. I tend to roam around my University a lot and its tough to find free charging ports around every time my battery starts running low. Most of my University lectures are conducted on Google meet due to COVID, and hence I have no choice but to use it. Is there anything that can be done about this issue?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.6
