# Microphone

* **Enable Microphone Input**: Allows a user to use a microphone or type text for interactions. This must be enabled to use Trigger Voice Intent, even if only the text box is used for input.
* **Microphone Always Listening**: The microphone is always on, but a user can toggle it on or off. If set to off, the simulation handles the microphone mute state.
