Adobe’s Flash player will sometimes default to the internal microphone of your laptop or monitor even if you have an external one plugged in. Especially in laptops, this can mean the internal microphone is picking up a lot of fan noise or other background noises rather than using your external mic. This limitation is most commonly found with Macs and USB microphones. Unfortunately, this is a limitation of Flash and not something OurStage has control over.
