## Allowing the Webex Web App to Access Your Microphone and Camera

For security reasons, Webex, like all websites, cannot access your microphone or webcam without your permission. If it is your first time using Webex in the browser or on this computer, you will receive a pop-up notification asking for these permissions. You will see the spinning circle in the middle of the screen until you allow access. 

1. Click on the **Allow **button in the pop-up notification to allow access. You should then be able to proceed with the session.
2. Select the **Use computer for audio **option to use your computer's microphone.
  1. If you would like to use your cellphone/landline, select **Call-In**. If you choose **Call-In**, you will still join on the computer so you can see the other participants and share your screen, but all audio will be routed through your phone call.
3. For more information about managing your choice of speaker, microphone, and camera, see [Changing Speaker, Microphone, and Camera Options in Webex](https://uconn.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IKB/pages/10770829557).
