quicktime no microphone I am trying to record audio with a screen recording but it does not see my Microphone. If i do only audio recording it see's both mics but screen record sees neither. If i go into settings Quicktime is not listed under microphone so i cannot even allow the program to use my mic. I've already tried resetting the microphone settings and when i open Quicktime it still will not ask to use the Mic. Any ideas?

Access to microphone I can’t grant access of my microphone to apps such as Snapchat and discord and I have tried what was suggested on another question asked about this to do with screen time settings but it still won’t let me grant access. Any ideas ?

Hello there, I've just figured this issue out. Go to system preferences, in the search bar type in 'microphone' and it should give you a menu with various things including one to 'allow apps to access microphone'. Click on that and the issue is sorted!
