Mic Drop 2.0 is out, but looks like it has a bug affecting some users that is causing it to crash on launch! 😢. We're looking into it and working on shipping a fix ASAP. 😬.

Hi @tumblinmuffin37! Happy to report we've shipped a remote fix for this one. If you quit and relaunch Mic Drop, it should be back to normal now. 🙌 Let us know if you continue to have issues!.

Hi @MicDropApp friends! We've noticed some increased reports of high CPU usage, mostly with Bluetooth headphones, on macOS Ventura. We're looking into it and hope to have a fix out soon! 😅.

Good news for @MicDropApp users: we just shipped a new version (1.4.5) that includes compatibility with MS Teams' new "share system audio" driver. This new version also restores Bluetooth mics for users on macOS 12.4 and up, as Apple finally fixed the Bluetooth bug. Yaaaaay! 🎉.

If you noticed @MicDropApp is causing high CPU usage with the latest version of Microsoft Teams, we found a fix and will be shipping it in a new release (alongside improved Monterey 12.4 Bluetooth support). Should be ready this week! 🙂.

Exciting news! Looks like macOS 12.4 has fixed the Monterey Bluetooth bug. 💃🏼. We're working on a new version of @MicDropApp that should be out later this week which will allow users of Monterey 12.4 and up to use Bluetooth mics with Mic Drop again! 🎉.

Because @sarahsemark can't stop talking about usability no matter what we're doing, she channeled that energy into redesigning an impossible-to-use extractor hood.

Coming super-duper soon to a @MicDropApp near you: visual mute notifications! . We're working on making it as clear as possible when you're muted, and when you're live. 🙊

For everyone who's written us about Monterey muting Bluetooth headphones when the mic is muted—we know how annoying this bug is.😡. Since Apple won't fix it, we've developed and tested a workaround and it's been good so far. 🙂. We'll have more to announce soon. Stay tuned!🤞

Apparently GitHub's Copilot has decided our refund policy for us. Thanks, magic AI intern!✨. (Spoiler alert: our actual refund policy is a little friendlier and more relaxed than this.)

Apologies all, looks like @tofumatt messed up our email this week, so if you noticed any mail errors when trying to contact us: that's why. We fixed it, so feel free to send in any support requests or friendly chats to us again and this time we promise not to bounce the email! 😅.

We tried all afternoon to figure out a way around it—even tried a few hacks—but nothing would work. We’ll keep an eye on the betas and let you know once Apple fixes this bug. 🙏🏻.

To all Monterey users: looks like there’s a bug in macOS 12 that causes all Bluetooth devices to link their output and microphone mute status. We’ve filed Feedback FB9574062 with Apple. If you find your headphones are muting when you mute your mic: that’s why.
