Steps
Charge the transmitter and receiver first. Plug the receiver into a charger or power bank until the battery lights show a full charge, then power both units on.
Connect the receiver to your computer using a USB-C cable. Use a data cable, not a charge-only one, and plug it straight into the laptop rather than a hub.
Wait a few seconds while Windows installs the driver. The receiver usually shows up as a USB audio device named after the DJI Mic Mini.
Open Settings, then System, then Sound. Scroll to the Input section and check that the DJI Mic Mini appears in the list of recording devices.
Click the DJI Mic Mini in the input list and set it as the default device. Do the same for the output if you want to monitor audio through the receiver.
Click the device and speak into the transmitter while watching the input level bar. If the bar moves, Windows is hearing the mic.
Open the app you record in, such as Zoom, OBS or Teams, and pick the DJI Mic Mini as the microphone in its audio settings.
Record a short test clip and play it back. If the sound is silent, return to the Sound settings and confirm the right device is selected.
Tips and common mistakes
If the mic does not appear, try another USB-C cable and a different port before reinstalling anything.
Keep the receiver at least a hand's width from your speakers to avoid feedback during calls.
Set the transmitter clip close to your collar, below the chin, for the clearest voice pickup.
Unplug the receiver before you switch to Bluetooth on a phone, so Windows releases the device cleanly.
Questions
Do I need to install DJI software to use the mic on Windows?
No. Windows recognises the receiver as a standard USB microphone, so it works without the DJI app. The app is only useful for firmware updates and gain settings.
Why does my PC not list the DJI Mic Mini as an input?
The cable is the usual cause. Swap to a known data cable, plug it directly into the laptop and check the Sound input list again.
Can I connect the DJI Mic Mini to a Windows laptop over Bluetooth?
The transmitters can pair directly with some devices, but the reliable route on a PC is the receiver plugged in with USB-C. Use that for recording and calls.
