Hi harshvardhanmandad,

Thanks for using Zoom SDK. Regarding your questions

If you would like to request audio permission before the meeting starts, you can refer to: [https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting](https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting)

If you would like to automatically connect to the audio when the meeting starts, you can use the interfaces provided in [https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-android/us/zoom/sdk/InMeetingAudioController.html](https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-android/us/zoom/sdk/InMeetingAudioController.html) to control the audio. For example, you can use [https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-android/us/zoom/sdk/InMeetingAudioController.html#connectAudioWithVoIP--](https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-android/us/zoom/sdk/InMeetingAudioController.html#connectAudioWithVoIP--) after the meeting correctly starts, and automatically connect to the audio via VoIP.

Since we have multiple ways of connecting audios to a meeting (VoIP, Dial-in, Call-Me, etc.), you need to select the method of using audio if you would like to automate it.

Hope this helps. Thanks!

Thanks for replying @carson.zoom . Also my concern is not about the audio permission. Its only to start audio by default when the meeting starts. I tried calling connectAudioWithVoIP but still it doesn’t work. So here is what i have done:

val mInMeetingAudioController : InMeetingAudioController = ZoomSDK.getInstance().inMeetingService.inMeetingAudioController mInMeetingAudioController.connectAudioWithVoIP()

While creating the instance of ZoomSDK i am initializing InMeetingAudioController and after calling joinMeetingWithParams i am calling connectAudioWithVoIP

Hi harshvardhanmandad,

Thanks for using Zoom SDK.

Before join or start Meeting set AutoConnectVoIPWhenJoinMeeting true.  
ZoomSDK.getInstance().getMeetingSettingsHelper().setAutoConnectVoIPWhenJoinMeeting(true);
