I can't talk through the camera at all I've checked all my permissions on my phone there all active. I can hear sound and the siren does work I'm not sure what the problem is.

Hi @Annemoore74 @PJP,

Thanks for posting here in the Roku Community!

We appreciate you for bringing this issue to our attention. The Roku Smart Home app requires permission to send and receive audio in order to use the two-way audio feature. Refer to the Apple or Google support websites for assistance enabling permissions on your mobile device. If you already allowed the permission from your mobile device, we recommend uninstalling your Roku Smart Home app and installing it once more to clear the cache. After this, kindly check to see if you're still seeing the issue.

Please keep us posted.

All the best,
Kash

I haven't been able to use the speak feature and I've tried all I can do on my side to troubleshoot it from restarting camera to reinstalling the app to even tweaking the settings. All permissions are on and still yet nothing

So, you provided no answers to the question about why the speak function doesn't work. I'm experiencing the same issue. My wife can speak through the camera on her iPhone  but I cannot spray speak through it with my android. What's the issue?
