Hi,

To fix the FaceTime microphone on a MacBook Air, first restart both the FaceTime app and your Mac. Next, check the audio input settings in System Preferences and make sure the correct microphone is selected and the input volume is high enough. Finally, confirm FaceTime has permission to use the microphone in your privacy settings.
