safari shows mic usage when playing youtube video

same, this is so sketchy, it does not even request the mic access, but it gets access the mic.

Happening to me as well with youtube. Very strange this has not been addressed.

This is happening to me as well, very disturbing. Called tech support and they were of no help.

I used to have the same problem, and I solved it.

1 - go to safari settings

2- Microphone

3- Mark as "deny" into the current open websites (if you have YouTube open)

4- Mark "deny" below in the right-down corner when it says: "When visiting other websites."

5- Quiet safari

6- Open safari and problem solve

I Wish this helps you!

Hopefully we get an answer soon. I’m getting this too. And in the privacy microphone settings, nothing comes up to be able to turn off access. Any video I play turns on the mic. Anywhere on the internet. Not just YouTube videos. That’s not safe.

im on udemy. And even in the settings for udemy in safari, the microphone access is set to ask. I changed it to deny, and it still turns on when I click play on the video.

I am also having this issue seems to be Facebook as the biggest offender but it does not have access to my mic in settings

All of my sites were denied access to the microphone and it was happening on sites that had never asked permission. It seems as though there’s been an update that has resolved the issue.

I just need to close Safari completely (Cmd+Q) and then start ir again.

I have the same issue. It started when I had google meet with video and microphone. Then when I play YouTube microphone icon appears. I solved it by reloading my Mac but if I have google meet again the issue comes back

after turning of nothing changed however when i quit and open back its resolved.

I am also getting this, do you think it is a bug or something is genuinely listening to what I say?

Still the problem is there....

I am having same issue first i thought it is only youtube its happening with every site reddit youtube where you play a video it shows the mic symbol https://youtu.be/euH5qoVwmbI I made a video

Thanks, this helped me!

This worked! thank you so much. I did the privacy trouble shooting, then turned off the app completely, and rebooted it.
