A free Mac menu-bar app for checking your camera, microphone, and speakers before a call.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-16 issue.

For: Mac users preparing for calls or recordings
Worth noticing: It can flag a disconnected USB device, suggest checking its cable or shared hub, and consolidate a dock removal into one alert.

Field notes

The described workflow starts with a menu-bar panel that previews the camera, meters microphone input, and plays separate left/right speaker tones. Users can save a device setup; Green Room says it compares that baseline with current hardware and app routing, then reports mismatches, including grouped disconnections when a shared dock is unplugged. The page lists macOS 14 or later, notarized distribution, Homebrew installation, source code, and browser-based tests.
