# ▪️ How to set up conditions for the Intercom

:::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-YzuNKlLB6x) 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.)

The Intercom feature requires certain technical setups to be completed. For the announcements to be sent, **the relevant destination has to be physically connected and assigned** within the software.


1. **In-Room** - the **Room** button sends announcements to the simulation area

   
:::warning
   In case no **network speakers** are used as intercom devices, a DAK (Digital Audio Kit) has to be connected and assigned to the Room (corresponding to the simulation area) via the [**Rooms**](/doc/rooms-zm8ynNpVuU) tab of the [**System**](/doc/system-module-TNvU3yVfhr) module as a [**Separate In-room Intercom device**](/doc/system-module-TNvU3yVfhr)

   :::

   
2. **Facilitator**—A device (e.g. headset) can be connected for direct communication with the facilitator. This device can be assigned to the room as a Separate Hallway intercom device via the **Rooms** tab of the **System** module.  
3. **Simulator** - A [**Maestro**](https://www.caehealthcare.com/news-events/media-assets/documents/#user-guides)-**ready simulator** can be connected to send announcements through the manikin (**"Voice of Patient"**).


:::info
Once the simulator is connected, the Intercom is also connected for the manikin.

:::


:::info
The **Push-to-Talk** function of **Intercom** is **not supported on** [**iPads**](/doc/ipad-support-technical-information-CvKg62sptV) in LearningSpace.

:::


:::warning
The Intercom via Simulator functionality is **not available for third-party** Simulators.
