Getting started
How do I start using Mic Drop?
First, download Mic Drop from the Mac App Store. When you first open the app, Mic Drop will ask you a few questions to help you get started.
Help! I can’t see Mic Drop in my menu bar!
Sometimes icons get hidden if you have a lot in your menu bar. Try opening Mic Drop again from Spotlight or Finder, and its menu should appear. On macOS Tahoe and later, check that Mic Drop is enabled in System Settings > Menu Bar.
How do I set my keyboard shortcut?
Your keyboard shortcut should consist of at least one modifier key, followed by a regular key. (Since macOS 15, a Function key can’t be used on its own: see shortcut rules.)
How can I be sure I’m muted?
You can check the menu bar to verify your mute status, enable visual or audio notifications, or use Mic Check—or any combination thereof!
What is push-to-talk?
Push-to-talk (and hold-to-mute) allows you to hold a key to mute or unmute.
