Are you having trouble recording or playing voice notes? Take a look at our guide below for potential solutions.

Starting from iOS 7, Apple requires you to enable microphone access to each app that uses the microphone feature. The first time you use the voice note or record a video in Showbie on iOS 7 and above, you will be prompted to allow Showbie to access your iPad microphone. Microphone access must be allowed in order to record voice notes.

Tap 'OK' to enable the microphone with Showbie and you should not have to repeat this step for any further voice notes or video creations.

If you accidentally tapped Don't Allow when prompted to enable your microphone with Showbie, you will need to go back into your Settings > Privacy > and enable microphone access with Showbie.

If the browser you use for Showbie doesn’t allow Showbie to use your microphone, you won’t be able to record voice notes. You’ll have to give the Showbie web app access to your device’s microphone to fix this. How you do this depends on which browser you’re using:

Try recording a voice note in Showbie again, and click Allow:

Now you’re ready to record voice notes in Chrome!

To change global permissions in Firefox:

Now you’re ready to record voice notes in Firefox!
