How to set up a microphone in VK messages. How to send a voice message to VK from a computer if there is no icon
Most often, users try to find the answer to the question - how to send a voice message to VK from a computer if there is no icon?
However, not everyone has yet figured out how to use this function, and periodically encounter various difficulties.
VK voice messages
When you click on the icon, the site will ask for permission to access and use the equipment, for which you must provide your confirmation. 
Click on the “Allow” button and that’s it.
If the microphone is not disconnected from the computer, the confirmation procedure will be one-time. Subsequent clicks on the mentioned button will immediately begin recording a voice message.
It should be taken into account that an incorrectly configured microphone may record distortedly, with noise, or in the case of high sensitivity, it will begin to record extraneous sounds along with the voice.
To record a voice message normally, it is enough to hold the microphone at a short distance from the speaker and speak clearly and distinctly. During recording, the interface changes and the user sees three new functional buttons:
- Delete what has already been recorded.
- Stop recording.
- Submit entry.
Sending a voice message from your phone
Mobile traffic is growing every day, particularly on social networks. Many VK users constantly access the network from their phone, but also want to use the voice messaging function.
Of course, every phone has a built-in microphone, which no longer needs to be configured, unless of course it is working. Regardless of device, platform and operating system, users can send voice messages equally.
To start recording, you will need to touch and hold the microphone icon directly in the dialogue. After the message has been completely recorded, you should release your finger and send the recording.
If you need to cancel a recording, just swipe your finger to the left.
Downloading a voice recording
Some audio messages may be long enough, useful or simply necessary for users, and therefore some of them will want to download.
At the moment, the developers have not provided an official option for downloading voice messages from the site to your device.
Due to the fact that the update was released not so long ago, there are many third-party services on the network that offer in various ways the ability to download audio messages from.
Often such services are simply useless, but most often they may contain viruses or try to hack the user’s page. It is recommended to avoid such things until an official opportunity is introduced in VK itself.
There is no microphone icon, what should I do?
Some users are faced with the problem that their device does not display a microphone icon in dialogs, without which it is impossible to start recording and sending a VK voice message.
This phenomenon is quite common and there may be a number of reasons for this. The root of the problem can be either a technical component or a software one.
If such a problem is present, the following manipulations should be carried out:
- check or reinstall microphone drivers;
- even if the microphone is displayed correctly in the system, check its functionality directly;
- check the functionality of the sound card and its driver;
- make sure that the microphone connector, its cord and the microphone itself are in good condition; we are talking about mechanical damage;
- update or reinstall your browser or mobile application.
If a similar problem occurs with a phone, tablet or laptop, it is recommended to contact specialists who will carry out the appropriate diagnostics.
For inexperienced users, carrying out any manipulations with the built-in microphones on your own can cause additional malfunctions.

For many, the social network VKontakte is, first of all, a messenger. Each person has a lot of contacts in it - friends, acquaintances, business buddies, colleagues, and so on. From time to time, you may need to enter into correspondence with each of them, both personal and group.
The functionality of VKontakte messages has been growing since the launch of the social network. At first it was possible to send only just text, then stickers and emoticons were added, and one of the latest innovations was voice messages. In this article, we will look at why they are needed, as well as how to send them.
Table of contents:Why do you need voice messages on VKontakte?
VKontakte voice messages are a convenient way of communication between users. Essentially, the user records his voice, sends it, and the interlocutor listens to this message at any convenient time.
This method of communication has several clear advantages. Firstly, a person can hear the voice of the interlocutor, which is important. Secondly, sending a voice message is often much easier than writing a text, for example, if you are driving or walking along the road.
Voice messages also have some disadvantages. Listening to them requires more Internet traffic, which can be critical for users, for example, if they are connected to a mobile network. In addition, voice messages are not always convenient to listen to. If a conversation between people is on intimate topics, it will be difficult to listen to such messages on the street or in another public place; for this you will have to use headphones.

The social network Vkontakte continues to delight its users with more and more new opportunities. At the end of 2016, VKontakte added a voice input function that allows you to record and send voice messages in a regular text chat window. VK has also recently introduced the ability to organize video broadcasts, allowing you to create and conduct streams from your page on the social network. At the same time, people who want to do this may encounter the system message “Access to the microphone for the site vk.com is prohibited in the user’s browser.” In this material I will tell you how to allow access to the microphone in VK, and what methods will help us with this.
Allowing access to the microphone on VK.com
Causes of dysfunction
Most browsers, when a site accesses the microphone, prompt the user to allow or disable this operation by clicking on the corresponding menu button.
If for sites using an unsecured connection (http), the user’s choice will be fixed for one session, then for secure sites (using a secure https connection), the user’s choice can be fixed for all subsequent sessions.
Therefore, if you accidentally clicked on “deny” when a sign about the possibility of accessing the microphone appeared on the VK website, the system will remember this and will subsequently block VKontakte’s attempts to gain access to your microphone.
In addition, the lack of access to the microphone can be caused by its being disabled in the Windows OS settings, the physical failure of the device, as well as the “human factor” (the microphone simply “forgot” to be connected to the computer).

How and why to allow the use of a microphone for calls in the browser?
Why allow the use of a microphone?
In order to make a call from the site, you need to allow your browser to use the microphone. Calls are completely safe, as the browser only transmits audio from your microphone with your permission.
Why does the browser ask to allow access to the microphone?
This is due to the peculiarities of the browser (browser security policy). By default, browsers do not allow access to computer resources (disk, video camera, sound devices, etc.) For this reason, the browser asks your permission every time you try to make a call.
Using the microphone in the Chrome browser
After clicking on the “Call” or “Answer” button, a dialog box appears on the screen asking you to use a microphone:
After clicking the “Allow” button, the operator is called, and you can talk to the called party via the Internet. This permission is valid until the end of the conversation, i.e. until you click the “End call” button or until the page is reloaded, or the browser window is closed. Without your permission, the browser will not use the microphone again. This means that after a conversation the microphone will turn off, and you can be sure that the browser is not transmitting sound from your microphone.
Using a microphone in the Mozilla Firefox browser
In the case of this browser, after clicking on the “Call” button, the following window will appear on the page requesting access to the microphone:
After clicking on the “Allow access to the selected device” button, the operator will be called and you will be able to talk to him.
If you accidentally or intentionally click the “Do not allow” or “Not now” button in the window, the call will not take place.
To call again, simply refresh the call page.
