# ◾ How can I add new/customized Intercom announcements?

:::tip
To edit a pre-recorded **Intercom announcement**, click the field to be edited, type in the modification, and then click outside the field. To delete one, check the box of the announcement and click **Delete**.

:::

During events, **live** **Intercom announcements** can be sent to Separate In-room Intercom devices and Separate Facilitator Intercom devices placed within your institution's physical rooms and assigned to the rooms within your LearningSpace system (in the System module, Rooms tab) to instruct the learners or facilitators.


:::warning
***IMPORTANT:*** The **Intercom** functionality of LearningSpace requires the web browser to have **access to the microphone** of the client PC, which in turn requires a [**secure HTTPS**](/doc/how-to-use-the-https-certificate-requestupload-tool-jB97fG2coU) connection to the LearningSpace server.

That is, the **client computer's microphone can only be used** with a **valid SSL certificate**. (This restriction stems from the Chrome browser security regulations.)

:::info
The **Push-to-Talk** function of **Intercom** is **not supported on** [**iPads**](/doc/ipad-support-technical-information-iHec00YAzm) in LearningSpace.
