Voice adds tone without showing the room
Audio can feel warmer and faster than text while revealing less visual information than video. It works well when facial expression is not important or the background should remain private.

GOOD TO KNOW
A voice can reveal age, region, surroundings, and identity clues. Treat audio as personal information even when the camera remains off.
Check the microphone before blaming the match
Confirm the correct input device, close another app that may be using the microphone, and review the browser permission. Headphones can reduce echo in a shared or reflective room.
Your voice may still identify you
An accent, name, workplace story, background announcement, or another person in the room can reveal context. Avoid saying details you would not type to the same stranger.
QUICK ANSWERS
What people usually ask.
Does audio mode use the camera?
No. Audio mode needs microphone permission only.
Why can nobody hear me?
The common causes are a denied browser permission, the wrong input device, another app holding the microphone, or an operating-system privacy setting.
