When you start the VCS app for the first time, you must grant record audio permission to access the microphone during Vocera calls to ensure that the app functions correctly on an Android device running version 6.0 or later. Vocera also recommends that you whitelist the VCS app to exempt it from battery optimization doze mode.
To grant these permissions:
-
When a screen appears that informs you that you must grant Record Audio permission,
tap Proceed to Permissions.
-
When the system dialog box appears that asks you whether you want Vocera to record audio,
tap Allow.
Note: This permission allows VCS to access the microphone during calls. No audio is recorded. -
When the system dialog box appears that asks you whether you want to let the app always run in the background,
tap Allow.
