Open **Microsoft Edge**.\n\n2. Navigate to the website that you want to allow a permission for.\n\n3. Click the icon to the left of the address bar\u2014it often looks like a **lock** \ud83d\udd12, or \u201cinfo\u201d (\u24d8).  \n   - Then click **Site permissions** (sometimes \u201cPermissions for this site\u201d).  \n   - From there, locate the permission type you need (e.g. Location, Camera, Notifications, Pop-ups, etc.).  \n   - Change its setting to **Allow**.  \n   This setting is saved, so the site won\u2019t prompt you again for that permission.  \n   ([windowscentral.com](https://www.windowscentral.com/how-manage-site-permissions-new-microsoft-edge?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### Global / Default Behavior Settings\n\nIf you want Edge to **stop showing prompts** for a particular class of permissions entirely\u2014or define a default behavior\u2014do this:\n\n1. In Edge, go to the three dots menu (\u2026 top right) \u2192 **Settings**.\n\n2. Go to **Privacy, search, and services** \u2192 **Site permissions** (sometimes under \u201cAll permissions\u201d).\n\n3. Find the kind of permission you want to change (e.g. Location, Camera, Notifications, Pop-ups & redirects).\n\n4. Within that permission\u2019s settings, you\u2019ll see options like:\n\n   - **Ask before accessing** (default)  \n   - **Block**  \n   - Sometimes **Allow** (or manage \u201cAllow\u201d list)  \n\n   For example, for location you can set Edge so sites no longer ask by default\u2014then add specific sites manually to \u201cAllow\u201d. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/location-and-privacy-in-microsoft-edge?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which specific prompt you\u2019re trying to allow permanently, I can give step-by-step instructions specific to that permission."

        "content": "Here\u2019s how to **permanently allow microphone access** for websites in Microsoft Edge on Windows. This covers both site-specific and global settings, plus Windows system-level permissions.\n\n---\n\n## 1. Check Windows\u2019 System Microphone Permissions\n\nMake sure Windows isn\u2019t blocking microphone access for Edge itself:\n\n1. Open **Windows Settings** \u2192 **Privacy & security** \u2192 **Microphone**.  \n2. Enable **Microphone access for this device** if it isn\u2019t already.  \n3. Turn on **Let apps access your microphone**.  \n4. Also toggle on **Let desktop apps access your microphone**, so Edge (as a desktop app) can use it. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/answers/questions/5880119/microphone-access?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 2. Global Microphone Permissions in Edge\n\nMake sure Edge is allowed to request microphone access at all:\n\n1. Open Microsoft Edge.  \n2. Click the three dots (\u22ef) in the top right \u2192 **Settings**.  \n3. Go to **Privacy, search, and services** \u2192 **Site permissions** \u2192 **Microphone** (or via edge://settings/content/microphone). ([devicecheck.io](https://devicecheck.io/guides/how-to-enable-microphone-edge?utm_source=openai))  \n4. Ensure the toggle **Ask before accessing** is turned **on**. This setting lets sites request access. If it's off, sites won\u2019t even be prompted. ([windowscentral.com](https://www.windowscentral.com/how-manage-site-permissions-new-microsoft-edge?utm_source=openai))  \n5. Under **Microphone permissions**, check the **Blocked** list and **Allowed** list. Remove any sites you want allowed from the block list; add important sites to the allow list. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/answers/questions/5880119/microphone-access?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 3. Site-Specific Microphone Permissions\n\nFor a site you trust and want to allow permanently:\n\n1. Open the site in Edge.  \n2. Click the **lock (\ud83d\udd12)** icon at left of the address bar (or the \u201cinfo\u201d icon if the lock isn\u2019t there).  \n3. Choose **Permissions for this site**.  \n4. Find **Microphone**, and set it to **Allow** instead of \u201cAsk\u201d or \u201cBlock.\u201d ([devicecheck.io](https://devicecheck.io/guides/how-to-enable-microphone-edge?utm_source=openai))  \n5. Refresh the page after making this change so it takes effect. ([devicecheck.io](https://devicecheck.io/guides/how-to-enable-microphone-edge?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 4. Administrative Policy (for Organizations)\n\nIf you\u2019re on a work/school device, or want to control permissions for many PCs via policy:\n\n- Edge has a policy called **AudioCaptureAllowed**. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies/audiocaptureallowed?utm_source=openai))  \n   - If this policy is *enabled* (or not configured), users will be prompted for microphone access except for URLs listed in **AudioCaptureAllowedUrls** (which can use mic without prompting).  \n   - If *disabled*, only the listed URLs can access the mic, other sites cannot.  \n   - This is managed via Group Policy or registry. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies/audiocaptureallowed?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me whether you're on Windows, Mac, a company-managed device, etc., I can give more specific steps for *your* setup."

([brynify.me](https://brynify.me/pages/FastSuite.php?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \u2705 What to do next\n\n- If you're interested in similar apps, look for clients that work with **Mastodon or Bluesky** and are listed in the **iOS App Store**\u2014that\u2019s the safest option.\n- If FastSMRW is released later for iOS, it should show up in the App Store or be announced on the developer\u2019s site or on Fast Suite. You might want to check there occasionally.\n\n---\n\n## \u26a0\ufe0f Warning\n\n- Avoid downloading the app from any site that isn\u2019t the official developer\u2019s site or the App Store. If a link claims to offer a version for iOS, especially from third-party sources, it could be risky or violate Apple\u2019s policies.\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can help you find a good alternative to FastSMRW on iOS that offers similar features (Mastodon or Bluesky support). Do you want me to pull those for you?"

Download **TestFlight** from the App Store if you don\u2019t already have it.\n\n2. Keep an eye on the app\u2019s **official website**, **developer account**, or **social media channels** for a public TestFlight link or announcement. Often you'll see \u201cJoin beta\u201d buttons or forms where you can submit your email.  \n\n3. Sometimes beta invites are distributed via **email**\u2014the developer uses your email address to formally invite you through Apple\u2019s TestFlight system.\n\n4. Use **public invite links** (if available). These allow anyone with the link to join the beta, assuming there\u2019s still space and you're using a compatible device/OS.  \n\n5. Join the app\u2019s **community forums**, Discord, Slack, Reddit, etc.\u2014developers often post TestFlight links or codes there first.\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udc40 What You Should Check For with FastSMRW\n\nSince I couldn\u2019t find a current public invite, here\u2019s what to check next:\n\n- Go to FastSMRW\u2019s **official website or blog** and scan for \u201cbeta,\u201d \u201cTestFlight,\u201d \u201cFastSMRW beta,\u201d etc.  \n- Check Fast Suite\u2019s announcements page (or equivalent) to see if they posted about invites.  \n- Look at their social media (e.g. Twitter, Mastodon, Bluesky)\u2014often that\u2019s where betas are announced.  \n- Search community discussion spaces like GitHub, Reddit, Discord\u2014someone might\u2019ve shared a link or beta announcement already.  \n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can dig to see *right now* whether there is an active invite available for FastSMRW (or get info about when they might open the beta).
