Slack audio, video and screensharing test can help identify problems you may be having while on a Slack call. After running the test, use the troubleshooting information in this article to address any issues flagged in your results. Here’s how to run the test:

• Select “Preferences” from the menu.
• Click “Audio & video” in the left-side column.
• Below “Troubleshooting”, click “Run an audio, video and screensharing test”. The test will open in a new window.
• Check that your preferred speaker, microphone and camera devices appear in the drop-down menus, then click “Start test”.

Resolve connection problems
