If you accidentally muted the audio on your computer, that could explain why Zoom audio is not working in your browser. How to Fix Zoom Audio Issues in Browser Check Your Audio Settings You don’t know what they’re talking about, and you can’t chime in. But if you can’t hear what they’re saying or they can’t hear you, that’s even more frustrating. Thus, choosing 'Join Audio' then 'Join with Computer Audio' is the only way to get audio working reliably.Granted, one of the purposes of a video meeting is to actually see the participants’ faces. When I close the that window, I expected to join audio, but looking at the button, it is still prompting me to join audio. Since my audio was not working in the call, I would retest my settings or try different settings. If I selected the larger 'Join Audio' button, I get a choice of 'Join with Computer Audio' or 'Test Microphone and Speaker'. But I would still not hear/be heard in the Zoom call.

When I click the 'little up arrow' it brings up setting choices, I would sometimes change the settings but always test them and then close the window. Why did I (and possibly others) repeatedly miss these obvious steps? If you do not setup Zoom to join audio automatically, the button in the lower left corner of Zoom will ask you to 'Join Audio' with a little up arrow.

Select 'Join with Computer Audio' (not test settings).

Click the 'Join Audio' button (not the little 'up arrow').
