# Android SDK: Audio recording

Configure audio messages in customer conversations with the Gleap Android SDK. Follow the integration code examples.

Available starting from version 14.2.0.

Gleap allows users to record audio messages when chatting with support. This is a great way to collect feedback from users.

## Additional setup

In order for audio recording to work for Android, you need to add the following keys to your `AndroidManifest.xml` file:

```xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.audio.pro" android:required="false" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.microphone" android:required="false" />
```

This key is required by Android to allow the app to use the microphone.

## Enable the audio recording feature

To enable the audio recording feature, navigate to `AI chatbot` -> `Settings` and toggle the `Allow audio messages` switch.
