How to Disable Internal Microphone on an macOS Big Sur [Tutorial]
The Apple MacBook series laptops feature built-in microphones that enable you to record audio in certain applications. The microphone is also useful when talking to a client or customer via video chat. If you accidentally leave the microphone on, it can pick up and record unwanted sounds on the computer. If you don't want the microphone to record audio, mute it by turning the volume all the way down. You can also disable the microphone by switching audio inputs.
Some apps and websites can use the microphone on your Mac to capture or record audio. You can decide which apps are allowed to use the microphone.
