Route browser audio through Connect

Connect Audio Router is designed for the Connect desktop app. It detects Connect Mic and Connect Speaker, then helps compatible browser calling and media websites use those devices.

Connect desktop is required

Install and start Connect before applying browser routing so the extension can find the virtual microphone and speaker.

How it works

  1. Install and start the Connect desktop app.
  2. Install Connect Audio Router from the Chrome Web Store.
  3. Open a compatible calling or media website.
  4. Select Connect Mic and Connect Speaker, then click Apply routing.
  5. If a call already controls the microphone, reload the page or rejoin the call.

What the extension can do

Preferred microphone

Select Connect Mic for future compatible browser microphone requests.

Browser audio output

Route compatible HTML media and Web Audio output through Connect Speaker.

Apply per website

Apply your chosen routing to the website currently open in your browser.

Remember devices

Keep preferred device names locally for compatible websites.

Device availability

Quickly see whether Connect Mic and Connect Speaker are available.

No global changes

Change browser devices without modifying system-wide audio settings.

Privacy by design

Connect Audio Router does not record, listen to, store or transmit conversation audio. Device names and routing preferences are stored locally in your browser. Website access is used only to apply the audio routing you select.

Browser limitations

  • Routing depends on the browser APIs supported by each website.
  • Chrome internal pages cannot be modified.
  • Some active calls need to be reloaded or rejoined after changing the microphone.
  • Output routing is available only where the website and browser support compatible audio APIs.
