Ending Summary
Mic not Working

First, ask if they intend to use the system's built-in microphone or a headset. If using a headset, ask the user to make sure their mute is not active on the headset; some headsets will have volume and mute buttons on the cord, some will have this on the headphones, some you may need to make sure the microphone boom is lowered into talking position to ensure it is working. If using a Mac, please check the privacy and security permissions are enabled for the Microphone.
