Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
New MacBook Air, Big Sur, accidentally clicked "no" when asked to grant microphone access. Quicktime does not appear in the security settings under microphone. I tried also recommended command lines to fix:
tccutil reset Microphone com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX
That did not work, I tried:
tccutil reset Microphone
Neither worked, rebooted even, Quicktime does not have access to the mic. Help!

Excellent job with the steps that were performed so far. If you haven't tried yet, let's see if the option to select your microphone appears within QuickTime Player via the options menu. For directions, please follow steps one and two in this helpful article: Record audio in QuickTime Player on Mac
Please let us know if that helps.

Hey thanks, no idea why it wasn’t recording before but it seems to be working now after following your suggestion!
