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.

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

Re: Roku camera can't talk through it

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?
