Some additional advice?

Get the right web browser

As we said above, this beta version is available for Chrome, Safari, and Firefox on macOS and Chrome OS, so the first thing you should do is to make sure you are using the appropriate browser.

Set up the microphone

Most computers have built-in microphones. Make sure yours is working.

If your computer does not have a built-in microphone, you must plug in an external one.

Prepare your music

Now you can prepare your music, for example, on your smartphone - make sure the sound is clear and close to the microphone.
