How to use Mimicore in Zoom and Microsoft Teams

Meeting apps list the virtual microphone like any other mic. Choose it in the app's audio settings and start Live.

Get it from Microsoft Store

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. A graphics card is recommended for live AI voices. See the system requirements.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Set up the virtual microphone once

    In Mimicore, open Live. If it says no virtual microphone is installed, press Set up virtual mic and follow the prompts. Windows asks for permission; click Yes. If Windows asks for a restart, restart and open Mimicore again.

  2. 2

    In Zoom: choose the microphone

    Open Zoom Settings, then Audio, and set Microphone to CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable). Set background noise suppression to a low level or off.

  3. 3

    In Microsoft Teams: choose the microphone

    Open Teams Settings, then Devices, and set Microphone to CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable). You can also pick it in the call's device settings before you join.

  4. 4

    Pick a voice and press Start

    On the Live page choose one of your voices (or one of the free effects) and press the big Start button. The Live pill turns on and an estimated delay shows. The delay depends on your PC and, for trained voices, on the Latency and quality slider: keep it toward the left for calls and games, because every step to the right adds delay you will hear.

  5. 5

    Test before you join

    Both apps have a mic test in their audio settings: speak and watch the level. Then join a call with a friend or a test meeting.

Tips

  • Wear headphones. If your speakers are on, your microphone can hear them and the changed voice will echo back.
  • For work calls, tell people if you are using a changed voice. Only use a cloned voice you have permission to use.
  • If the meeting app lowers your volume, turn off its automatic volume adjustment.

Questions

Does it work with Google Meet and other apps?

Yes. Any app that lets you pick a microphone can use CABLE Output, including Google Meet in your browser's microphone setting.

Does my company need to approve it?

That depends on your workplace. Mimicore installs only for your Windows user and the virtual microphone driver needs permission to install, so a managed PC may block it.

Is my voice sent to your servers?

No. Voice processing runs on your PC. The meeting app sends the audio to the meeting as usual.
