Two-way audio on my security camera isn't working
Check that your app has microphone permission, two-way audio is enabled in camera settings, and your phone microphone isn't muted. Restart the app if it's still not working.
Two-way audio needs two things to work: your phone's microphone permission granted to the app, and two-way audio enabled in your camera settings. If only one direction works, focus on fixing that direction. Most issues are permission or settings, not hardware.

- Granting permission but not fully restarting the app

Signs you need professional help
- Permission is granted and setting is enabled but still no audio or your phone's microphone works on calls but not on the camera app.
