Hello, I have opened this [feature request](https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/ignition-features-and-ideas/p/perspective-microphone-access-requests) to allow microphone access requests in the Perspective apps. Adding support for user-grantable mic access (whether through a native popup or trusted iframe context), would open up powerful use cases for intercoms, voice commands, and other audio-enabled functionality directly in Perspective views. If you’d like to see this supported, please consider voting for the feature request. Thanks! ---

Sounds familiar: > [@Record from microphone on a perspective client](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/record-from-microphone-on-a-perspective-client/64609): > > Hi, I am looking to record user audio input on a perspective client. I’ve done it on a vision client before (easy enough with a python script since it runs on the client side). However with perspective, I don’t really know how to access the microphone via browser. There are certain websites that uses JS like this: [image] However, when this page is embeded in an iFrame, it gives me this error (audio recording not supported): [image] So I’m wondering i’m on the right track? Could I in theor… Basically, when we get WebRTC support, the microphone will be part of it. ---

Is that something that is already planned in an upcoming version? Or do you mean a custom module could handle that? ---

There are already experimental implementations, IIRC. Search this forum for WebRTC. ---

I see, though I don't think the implementations will work without the Perspective Workstation and Ignition Perspective apps handling the mic permission requests. I as able to get mic input from a custom iframe module but this only works on a browser. On the Workstation app I see errors indicating that there is no handler to request the permissions. Furthermore, I unpacked the apk and saw the `AndroidManifest.xml` does not include the lines for the permissions: ```python ``` So until the apps can request the permissions from the OS, the implementation of WebRTC and the like are limited to iframes in the browser.
