    Hey there!

    We're trying to make a voice chat in our game. At the moment, in our game, Vivox works with standalone build. If 2 players connect with the build, everything works as expected. The problems rises when we try to upload the build to a pixelstream service online. We use CloudRT from Arcware.

    When we open the link from Arcware pixelstream service, the game opens in browser but there is no microphone feedback. The browser doesn't request access to our microphone, and when we give specific access, still nothing works. Also, and I think this is an important aspect, when clients from the build talk to eachother, the clients from pixelstream can't hear them.

    We did all the advices from other forums such as, adding PixelStreamAudio in scene, and some checkboxes checked, but still, microphone from the browser doesn't take any input.

    Can anybody have an input on this please?

    We didn't solve it. We talked with the guys from Arcware and told us that for now the microphone can be accessed via front-end on our website. We don't have any website so it is imposible to access it now. They said that the service will be updated with microphone input in a later update directly on their platform.

    Also, we found out that if you want to make a voice-chat the sound from vivox needs to be directed to an audio component because only that can be streamed. How vivox works will not work out of the box with pixelstream.

    I would like to find any tutorial or to get any advice on directing the sound to an audio component too if anybody knows.
