Dialpad Meetings offers a wide variety of incredible features (AI transcripts, virtual backgrounds, and more!) that allow you to stay connected and collaborate in a digital workplace.
With features like screen sharing and whiteboard collaboration, it does mean that you will need to configure specific settings to get the most out of Dialpad Meetings.
Let's go over the required permissions for Windows OS users, and how to enable them.
Who can use this
All Dialpad Meetings users are required to configure their microphone, camera, and screen share permissions.
Microphone Permissions
To join a meeting, you'll need to enable microphone access — the rest of the permissions are optional (but highly recommended!)
Once you have provided Microphone permissions, camera permissions are automatically granted.

Select the Start Button
Select Settings (that's the gear icon)
Select Privacy and Security
Select Microphone
Toggle the slider on for Microphone access
Toggle the slider on for Let apps access your microphone
Toggle the slider on for Let desktop apps access your microphone

Browser-Specific Microphone Permissions
Once OS-level permissions are provided, you need to provide page-specific permissions on the browsers. Every browser has different behavior, let's go over the most common browsers.
Google Chrome
When you join a Meeting via a Google Chrome Browser, you will automatically be prompted to enable your microphone permissions. Follow the prompts and select Allow.
To enable microphone permissions manually, click on the lock located in the URL address bar. Toggle-on microphone permissions.
