### **Enable mic toggle**

You'll be prompted to enable mic toggle so Airbounce can integrate with Zoom, allowing you to control and check your mic status (muted/unmuted). To do this, Airbounce needs **Accessibility permission**.

### **Connect your home office lights**&#x20;

You'll be prompted to allow **Automation (Shortcuts Events)** permission, enabling Airbounce to control your home office lights for a better visibility of your mic status to let you and your surroundings know if you are muted, unmuted or on a call.

### Need to review or set up permissions later?

Go to the **Airbounce menu > Quick Setup**, and you can go through the initial steps anytime.

### Enable start at login

With **Start at Login** enabled, Airbounce opens automatically, so you’re always ready to hop on a call and control your mic instantly.

### Keep your mic status visible

To ensure your mic status is always visible, hold the **⌘ Command** key while **dragging** the Airbounce icon in your menu bar to your desired position. This is especially useful when juggling multiple apps in the menu bar, as the icons on the right will still be accessible.
