Microphone and browser permission troubleshooting

Check that your browser has microphone permission for ACT.

Close other tabs or apps that may be using the microphone.

Refresh the page after changing browser or system microphone permissions.

If the microphone fails before you save a detailed answer, choose Start again for free in the interview room. A detailed answer means there is enough detail for ACT to give useful coaching feedback; silence, no-sound attempts and very short tests do not count.

If the microphone still does not work after trying the recovery steps, use typed answers for the current practice session.
