# Software

> Software and browser requirements for working on WorkBolt projects.

## Browser requirements

All WorkBolt projects are completed through the web-based platform. You'll need:

* **Google Chrome** (latest version) — this is the only officially supported browser
* Stable internet connection (5+ Mbps download and upload)
* Microphone permissions enabled in your browser

<Warning>
  Chrome is the only officially supported browser. Other browsers may cause issues with recording, playback, or conversation sessions. Use Chrome to avoid technical problems.
</Warning>

## Enabling microphone access

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to WorkBolt">
    Open Chrome and go to [workbolt.ai](https://www.workbolt.ai).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Allow microphone access">
    When prompted, click **Allow** to give WorkBolt access to your microphone. If you've previously denied access, click the lock icon in the address bar and set **Microphone** to **Allow**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the right device">
    If you have multiple microphones, make sure the correct one is selected. Go to **Chrome Settings → Privacy and Security → Site Settings → Microphone** to set your default device.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test in the platform">
    Use the audio test tools provided in WorkBolt's recording interface to confirm your microphone is working correctly before starting a session.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Camera access (video projects)

Some projects require video in addition to audio (e.g., video conversation collection). For these, you'll also need to allow camera access in Chrome.
