Speakers : To test your speakers, click Test.
Microphone : To test your microphone, speak out loud and ask if the other person can hear you.

Make sure the correct device is selected for each setting (change it using the Down arrow ):.
At the top of your video call window, click Settings.
At the bottom of the video call window, make sure you’ve turned on the microphone or camera.
Make sure other programs on your computer aren’t using your microphone, camera, or speakers.

Chat, together with Rooms and Meet, will also be integrated deeply into the Gmail app as part of Google’s Workspace migration.If the person you’re calling can’t hear or see you, try these steps. While Chat isn’t an exact 1-to-1 replacement of Hangouts, it actually offers a bunch of additional features for group chats and collaboration around files and tasks, as well as new security tools. Currently, you have to be a paying G Suite/Workspace user to access the service (though somehow it’s enabled on my free personal account). One interesting wrinkle here: Chat will now also become free to use for consumers. We already knew that Hangouts’ time was coming to an end and as Google announced today, the company will allow all current Hangouts users to migrate to Chat - which was originally meant to only be its Slack-like messaging service for business users - in the first half of 2021. Google’s strategy around its messaging apps is nothing if not messy right now (hello Hangouts, Meet, Chat, Duo and Co.), but it looks like things will get a bit easier come next year.
