A:Answer Hello, Dianeinny! Thank you for your question about the HP 17.3" Laptop (17-BY3613DX). You can do that! Most programs will give you the option to pick the microphone you wish to use when you begin recording. For example, when you are about to broadcast, go into the program's settings and check that the input is the laptop's microphone and the output is your speaker. I hope this helps!
