Hi @d.tahiri,

Thank you for using the Developer Forum. I see you are encountering an issue with using the computer audio. Are you seeing any browser console errors? If so, can you share a screenshot of the errors shown?

Please make sure to serve your site over https and ensure you’ve allowed your browser access to the microphone and camera. To enable a locally running server under this limitation, you can use a tool like [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/). This will allow you to tunnel traffic to your server running on localhost through an HTTPS domain. Please see screenshot below for your reference:

If this does not help, please let me know so I can provide further support.

With Care,  
Donte

Hi Donte,

Yes i have already added ssl security. But it doesn’t happen all the time. Sometimes it happens then when i refresh the page it works.  
Here are the screenshots from console.

Hi @d.tahiri,  
Please make sure you are importing SDK resources using either the CDN method or the Local method but not both. Here a link to our sample app, which you can use as a point of reference:

[GitHub - zoom/sample-app-web: Zoom Web SDK Sample App](https://github.com/zoom/sample-app-web)

Please let me know if this helps.

Best,  
Donte
