How to test your microphone in Zoom without joining a meeting

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): In the Zoom app, open Settings › Audio and click Test Mic: speak, then Zoom plays your voice back. You can also visit zoom.us/test to join an official test meeting that checks speaker and microphone. For a quick check without Zoom, use the test above, then make sure Zoom uses the same microphone in its Audio settings.
