PersonApp requests microphone with echo cancellation and noise suppression during camera init. If mic is silent, verify browser microphone permission and make sure the correct input device is selected at OS level.

## Steps

1. Set Microphone permission to Allow for PersonApp in browser site controls.
2. Check your operating system input device and disable hardware mute toggle if present.
3. Reconnect to a fresh match and test with in-call mic toggle enabled.
4. If mic still fails, try another browser profile to rule out extension/policy interference.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### I allowed mic once, why is it blocked again?

Browser profile resets, privacy extensions, or site-data clears can revert permission state.

### Can headphones fix echo and mic pickup issues?

Yes. Headphones reduce speaker feedback and often improve microphone clarity.
