General - In-App Settings

In the Bodyswaps app, please navigate to the Settings (see how to find in-app settings on all devices). 

Verify the correct microphone is listed under 'Microphone' (note it may be grayed out, which just indicates this is the only microphone choice).

If it's the correct microphone, navigate to System Information and ensure Microphone Status says "OK".

If not, follow the steps below, depending on your device, to ensure your microphone permissions are enabled for Bodyswaps. 

VR 

On a Quest, you can confirm microphone permissions are enabled for Bodyswaps via a couple of different methods.

Method A: Directly from Meta Library

1. Navigate to the Quest App Library page by pressing the Meta button on the right hand controller

2. Find the Bodyswaps app, hover your pointer over the app, then press and hold the back trigger until the following menu pops up:

VR Library Settings

 

3. Select 'Settings' and ensure permissions are enabled for both Storage and Microphone

 

Method B: From Meta Quest's settings app

If the steps outlined above don't work, you can also check whether microphone permissions are enabled at the device level. This is done by going to Settings > Audio in the Quest's Settings app.

The video below highlights how to do this - you want to make sure that the 'Mute Microphone' setting is disabled.

 

Note: If you Meta Quest headset is managed by your institution, you may not have permission to check or change microphone settings.
