For example, to record voice messages or organize video conferences. Allow only trusted sites to access your microphone. Otherwise, unknown companies or malware might connect to it. By default, when a site tries to access your microphone, [the Yandex Browser beta version](https://browser.yandex.com/beta/) asks you for permission. ![](../_image/allow-microphone.png) After you allow or deny a site access to your microphone, the Protect panel displays the **Use your microphone** option and the ![](../_image/microphone-icon.png), or the ![](../_image/no-micro-icon.png) icon appears in the [SmartBox](*smart-link). If access to microphone is denied, it will be permanent for this site.
