# 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 using the text box for input.\
\
Microphone Always Listening: The microphone will always be on, but a user can toggle it on or off. If set to off, the simulation will handle the microphone mute state.
