Microphone Permissions Guide

‍When participating in a NetRoadshow Conferencing event—whether as a presenter or an attendee, you may encounter a prompt from your browser asking for permission to access your device’s microphone.

The following instructions are applicable across operating systems—Windows, macOS and Linux. Any variations between web browsers are included.

All steps below assume you are connected to a NetRoadshow-hosted event via web browser.

If you notice any differences from what's described here, it might be because of updates or settings in your web browser. If you need more help, check the documentation from your browser's developer or contact your organization's IT department.

Troubleshooting

Ensure you aren’t muted
Check your mic to see if it has a physical mute button, switch or other control (lift to mute).

Select a default microphone
Your system and browser have settings to define a default microphone. Ensure the proper mic is set for both. Additionally, check to see if audio recording levels are adequate.

Contact IT
Your organization may limit your ability to access certain settings. Please contact your IT administrator if you don’t have permission to change your settings.
