Agora is a social platform which enables you to talk to other users via voice chat within an experience. Users may hold conversations with other visitors as they move around the space, enabling people from across the world to develop meaningful connections with each other.

Spatial Audio

Agora uses spatial audio to enable many conversations to occur within a space at once. When you are within close proximity to other users, they will be able to hear you loudly. When you are further away or turned away from other users, your voice will become more quiet.

This allows you to talk to other users without disrupting other nearby conversations, and vice versa.

Microphone Access

When you join an experience for the first time, the Agora app will prompt you to access your microphone:

If you choose to decline this option, you will not be able to speak to other users, although you will still be able to hear them.

To grant this permission retroactively on Mac:

• Go to System Preferences
• Open "Security and Privacy"
• Select "Microphone"
• Unlock your settings and enable microphone access for Agora.
