Use Webex smart audio on macOS Sonoma

In macOS Sonoma (macOS 14), Apple added Mic Modes to the main system bar when there’s an active microphone. This feature appears on Mac models from 2018 and later.

Mic Modes take effect before the audio is provided to Webex App and can conflict with your smart audio settings. To ensure the best audio quality, we recommend you use Standard mic mode with Webex App and control your microphone optimizations with our smart audio settings.

Your default audio depends on the type of call. When you make a video call, you want to be able to look at your phone while you talk, so your speaker is the default audio. When you make an audio call or answer a call, your earpiece is the default.

You can only change your audio from speaker to earpiece while you're in a call, unless you want a setting such as Answer calls with speaker on to apply to all incoming calls.

Tap your profile picture, go to Settings > Audio, and turn on any of the following options:

Answer calls with speaker on
Under Smart Audio:
- Noise removal to join your meetings and calls without worrying about background noise, such as keyboard typing and doorbells.
- Optimize for my voice to remove background speech and noise when you're in a noisy environment where others are talking, such as a coffee shop.
- Music mode

You can change the microphone that you use when you make a call.

You must be using Chrome, Safari, or Firefox to make calls. Also, regardless whether you're using a web browser on Windows, Mac, or Linux, make sure your web browser is set up to use the camera and microphone.

Click the activity menu and choose Meet . Select the device to use to make the call by clicking Audio / Video .
