Permissions for PlayFab Party

Hi,

Is there a way to configure PlayFab Party so voice chat feature is completely disabled and the application does not request microphone permission from the user?

For clarification, as this document -- PlayFab Party Chat Permissions and Muting - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs said, the Party chat permission can be only set locally. And communication between chat controls is disabled by default. Do you want to know where you can set it up? If so, could you please provide your development platform? If you use a sample, please provide the sample link.

Hi Sarah,

Platform is Unity. To clarify, I'm not asking about chat permissions, but rather user permissions when running on mobile platforms. For example, if we add Party Unity SDK to our project and build for android, the game now asks the user for permission to use their device's microphone. I wonder if there's a way to disable this when we don't want to enable voice chat feature and only have normal chat.

Thanks for the clarification. We are researching it with Unity and the Android device.

For android application development, you should be able to declare or don't declare any permission by configuring the manifest. In your case, you would need to directly delete the declaring of microphone permission. Please check the android documentation -- https://developer.android.google.cn/training/permissions/declaring?hl=en-us for more information.

If you use Unity to develop the android application, Unity may create the manifest automatically. To use an Android manifest created outside of Unity, please import the customized Android Manifest file to the following location:

 Assets/Plugins/Android/AndroidManifest.xml

This will overwrite the default manifest created by Unity. Please check this Unity document - http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-manifest.html for more information.
