Why Is There No Sound in My Recording?

No sound usually means the wrong input is picked or the level is at zero. Check the sound meter before you record.

The short answer

Open the sound settings, pick the right microphone or desktop sound, and watch the meter move. Record a ten-second test and play it back.

How to do it in Streamdzy

  1. Choose what to record: the whole screen, one window, a browser tab, or a camera. The choice is under Recordings.
  2. Turn on your microphone if you want your voice. It is saved on its own track.
  3. Press Record, and use Mark at the moments you want to find again.
  4. Press Stop. The session folder holds the finished file, each source, and the log of marks.

What to know first

Recordings use your PC’s disk, so check the free space before a long session. For calls and meetings, get everyone’s agreement before you record. Other people’s rules still apply.

Questions

Why does the meter not move?

The wrong device is selected, or Windows blocks the microphone. Check the Windows privacy settings.
