Once you have created a Krisp account and installed the application, you will need to set up Krisp with your calling applications to ensure accurate audio processing. This article explains how to configure Krisp with any other application on your Mac and Windows devices.
Prerequisites for compatibility with Krisp
Before integrating Krisp with your app, make sure that your app or web-based app meets the following criteria:
- Compatibility with virtual devices: Your application should support the use of virtual devices.
- Dedicated audio settings: The application must provide dedicated audio settings where you can select Krisp Microphone and Krisp Speaker as your preferred devices.
If both conditions are met, you only need a simple two-sided configuration to start using Krisp Microphone and Krisp Speaker in your communication app.
Set up Krisp Microphone and Krisp Speaker with your app/web-based app
-
Open Krisp, pick the physical microphone and speaker you wish to use, and turn on the Noise Cancellation toggles.
Info
Krisp manages your audio devices for you: it selects a newly plugged-in device automatically, prioritizes Voice Isolation-compatible devices over other USB audio devices, and switches your microphone and speaker as your device list changes.
- Select Krisp Microphone and Krisp Speaker in the audio settings of the app/web-based app you want to use noise cancellation in. The example below is from Zoom:
Important
Krisp works best with certain audio processing settings turned off, to prevent overlapping functionalities in some calling applications. To benefit the most from Krisp Noise Cancellation, we recommend disabling features like Echo Cancellation and Noise Suppression in your calling application settings.
Hint
As an alternative to the Krisp app, you can use the embedded Krisp version in Discord. For this option, you don't need to have Krisp installed on your machine. In Discord, go to User Settings >>> Voice & Video >>> Noise Suppression and select Krisp. If you've selected Krisp Microphone in Discord, neglect the previous step.
What if your app/web-based app doesn't have audio settings?
Desktop applications

Web applications
If the web-based app you use doesn't let you choose a mic/speaker, you can set Krisp to work with your browser in general. This article explains how to set up Krisp with browsers.
