  • Welcome to Ask Different. What steps or visual indication do you have to confirm that mic settings are good for FaceTime? Commented Jun 15 at 14:37
  • You mention "...the microphone I hope to use with FaceTime..." Can you not use the built-in microphone? if you open the Sound control panel to "Input" does the Mac show the other microphone when you plug it in. It would be helpful to add the version of macOS and the model of MacBook to your question. Commented Jun 15 at 14:51
  • @SteveChambers We don't know which microphone, and I edited in what might be the "latest" OS - shouldn't matter, though if it's not macOS 26 which is the latest and is at least Sequoia. Commented Jun 15 at 15:27
