# Dialpad Meetings Permissions for Windows Users

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.
