How to grant access to your microphone
How to grant access to your microphone
Updated over a week ago

To record an audio for 7taps, you need to grant access to your microphone. Since 7taps is a browser-based or cloud-based app, you can simply enable the permission in your browser settings.

Choose your browser to see the next steps:

Google Chrome

The first time app.7taps.com needs your computer microphone, a small window will appear to the left of the URL bar. Click Allow to grant permission. Tick Remember this decision, so you can skip this step next time.


Desktop


Mobile

You can allow or block these permissions at any time by doing the following:

  • Click the settings icon to the left of the URL bar.

  • Choose Site settings from the window that pops up.

  • Open the drop-down list next to Microphone to access the three options: Ask (to be prompted every time access is needed), Allow, or Block.

You can also control the settings for mic access across all sites at once.

  • Click Privacy and security on the left, then Site settings.

  • Click Microphone and choose the preferred permission.

Microsoft Edge

In Edge, a dialog requesting access pops up on the left-hand edge of the URL bar. Click Allow.

Desktop

Mobile

You can allow or block these permissions at any time by doing the following:

  • Click the icon to the left of the URL bar, which will either be a padlock or a triangle symbol.

  • Click Permissions for this site, and click Microphone in a list that appears.

  • Choose one of the settings: Ask every time access is required, or set the permission to Allow or Block.

You can also control the settings for mic access across all sites at once.

  • Choose Cookies and site permissions from the navigation list on the left.

  • Select Microphone to see which sites have access and which sites have been blocked from having access.

Apple Safari

When app.7taps.com in Safari needs permission for the first time, you will see a pop-up dialog in the middle of your screen. Click Allow the request.

Desktop

Mobile

You can allow or block these permissions at any time by doing the following:

  • Open the Safari menu and choose Settings > Websites.

  • Click Microphone to see a list of sites where this permission has been given or blocked.

  • Use the drop-down lists to the right to grant or deny the permission or to have the site ask for permission every time it’s needed.

You can also control the settings for mic access across all sites at once.

  • Down at the bottom of the dialog is another drop-down list for managing this permission across every site. The options are Ask (ask for permission), Deny (always block access), and Allow (always grant access when it’s needed).

Mozilla Firefox

In Firefox, the permissions button only shows up on the URL bar after permission has been requested. You’ll see a dialog box pop up to the left of the URL bar that a site needs access to the mic. Click Allow and check the Remember this decision box if you don’t want to have to make this choice every time.

Desktop

Mobile

You can allow or block the permission at any time by doing the following:

  • Click the icon showing two sliders just to the left of the URL bar. Note: this permissions button only shows up on the URL bar after permission has been requested, so if you don’t see it, that’s why.

  • A list of granted and blocked permissions shows up — click on any of the entries to reset the permission (so you’ll be asked again next time access is needed).

You can also control the settings for mic access across all sites at once.

  • Open the Firefox menu (three horizontal lines, top right), choose Settings.

  • Under Privacy & Security, scroll down to permissions.

  • Click Microphone to see which websites have requested these permissions and to change the settings for these sites to Allow or Block.

  • The Microphone page has a check box at the bottom labeled Block new requests. This stops sites from being able to ask for the permissions they need.
