Some class assignments will require the use of the microphone on a students Chromebook. There are certain sites where the microphone has been enabled by default district wide. For example, Schoology has been set to enable the mic by default. If you have another site that you would like added to the enable default, please create a HappyFox ticket requesting this. For sites that are not enabled by default, a small pop up like the one shown below should appear when opening the site that requests access to the microphone. 

If students click allow, the site they are on (in the example above it is cssd11.Webex.com) will have access to the microphone, as well as any other features mentioned in the popup. 

Allowing the Microphone Through the Menu Ribbon

A short cut to enable the microphone if you did not enable the mic through the above pop up, can be completed through the following steps. 

• Open chrome and navigate to the website that you need the microphone to work in
• Look in the URL bar of the website and on the left side you will see a lock symbol

• Click on the symbol to see the below popup. To enable to mic, click the toggle to enable

• This change will be saved and the mic should now function on the website you had navigated to
