# Set Up Your Microphone and Webcam
* **Setting Up Your Microphone**:
* **Click on the gear icon** next to your username at the bottom left to open **User Settings**.
* Go to the **Voice & Video** section.
* Under **Input Device**, select the microphone you’ll be using (e.g., your headset or external mic).
* Adjust the **Input Volume** so that your voice is clear but not too loud.
* **Test Your Mic** by speaking, and you’ll see the input bar move in real-time to ensure the sound is coming through properly.
* **Setting Up Your Webcam** (Optional):
* Go to the same **Voice & Video** settings.
* Under **Video Settings**, enable **Camera** by clicking on the toggle switch.
* Select your webcam from the **Video Input Device** dropdown menu.
* You can test your webcam in the settings to ensure the image is clear.
**Note:** You don’t have to turn on the webcam unless you want to; the coach will still be able to guide you without it.\
