2. Go to settings.*
3. On the left Select Privacy and Security.
4. Click on site settings.
5. Scroll down and Click on Microphone.
6. Check and make sure you have the correct Microphone selected.
7. Select, "Sites can ask ask to use your microphone."
8. If you see Co:Writer under "Not allowed to use your microphone" Click on the Trash can to the right of it.
9. Go back to Co:Writer.
10. On the Co:Writer guess window click on the microphone.

11. Click on the Blue Microphone in the circle.
12. A message should pop up asking you to allow Co:Writer to use your microphone.
13. Click on Allow.
