Why Is My Fortnite Mic Not Working
Make sure that Fortnite has permission to access your microphone in your system settings. Sometimes those pesky permissions need a quick look.

First, check if your mic is properly connected and not muted. If that doesn't help, go to Fortnite's settings and ensure voice chat is enabled.
If you're on a PC or console, make sure your controller or headset firmware is up to date. A simple update might do the trick!
Check your in-game audio settings and ensure that your voice chat input and output devices are correctly selected. I had this issue once, and it turned out I was using the wrong device!
Hot take: Maybe your mic's just broken. Try it in another app to see if it works there.
