# Option to enable mic when capturing a screen and adding voice notes

Enable microphone access while screen capturing to add voice notes in real time. Learn how to enhance your video captures with clear, on-the-fly narration for better communication.

**Useful when:**

* You need to explain the complex flow and add some comments to enhance understanding.
* Provide some instructions on how to test or reproduce the issue

**Guide:**

If you don’t have the Capture extension installed, please [visit our page at the Chrome webstore](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/capture-screen-recording/jpcandanmpaeclcpfhadgflmlbhdehjg). If you don’t know what Capture is and are curious to learn about it before trying, there is a comprehensive [knowledge base ](https://docs.usecapture.io/help-articles)that you can familiarise with.

In case you have already Capture installed, then the new feature should be automatically available for you.

To start using it, click on the Capture icon on the extensions toolbar in Chrome

Then click the ‘Grant mic permissions’ button. You will be prompted to enable mic by chrome first. It’s required only once.

Then close this tab and return to the one where you want to start capturing.

Click on the extension icon again and then click ‘Enable the mic’

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.aqua-cloud.io/documentation/capture/capturing-with-video/option-to-enable-mic-when-capturing-a-screen-and-adding-voice-notes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
