3. Setting up a microphone 1.First, check to see if your computer has a webcam. If so, it probably has a microphone built into it. In that case, skip to the next slide. 2.If not, get an external microphone and plug it in to the microphone jack. Generally, this will be found on the front of a desktop computer or on the side of a laptop. If you can’t find it, check the back. It will be color-coded pink or red. 3.Wait for the computer to install the microphone drivers and follow the on-screen instructions to conduct a sound check.
