Assuming you are using windows,Rightclick the speaker at the bottom right click recording devices, right click the device you want to record from and set as default.

Oh I see I got the wrong idea, I thought you meant as if it was recording from another mic, What software are you using to record these videos?

obs, but when i go to this site (https://www.onlinemictest.com/)
to test it, the line moves a little bit, but i cant hear anything in my recordings, even when i scream

Ok on OBS turn the mic all the way up and on microphone properties that we went to before go lo levels and make sure its at at least 80. Also in settings on OBS go to audio and make sure its set to default and down on microphone noise gate untick enable noise gate
