We have already looked at a lot of innovations from social network In contact with. For example, quite recently we talked about such innovations as the implementation, as well as the opportunity that appeared not so long ago. If you missed these for some reason interesting materials, follow the links provided above. In today's instructions we will try to understand as comprehensively as possible, how to record a voice message in VK. Many networks and a variety of applications have had a similar useful feature. Now the time has come for Vkontakte to implement something similar. Let's look at how all this innovation works. First of all, we logged into VKontakte via regular browser from a computer. We entered the dialogues and chose an interlocutor or listener. (screenshot below).
On the right side of the message entry window you will see an image of a microphone. By clicking on it you can record your voice message. If this is your first time, you will need to give access to your microphone to the site. vk.com. After this, you need to write down and send this soundtrack to one of many friends or to all friends at once. In order to have many friends on VKontakte, you can always order a whole army of friends on the following page of our online service: “”.
So, how to send a voice message in VK? Another way is, of course, through your mobile application, which you must first download and then install on your mobile device. We won’t dwell on this here, because you already know everything very well. So, you have downloaded and installed the application. Now log in to your page (enter your credentials).
Now you need to touch the person in your friends list or your subscribers to whom the voice message will be addressed. On the right side of the typing field there will be an icon with a picture of a microphone. This is what you need. We touch this icon - nothing happens. Do not rush to panic and write angry letters to the support service. You simply have to touch the microphone icon and hold it. As long as you hold your finger down, your voice message is recorded. Once you are finished with the message, you can release your finger. In this case, the message will automatically “fly” to the recipient.
Undoubtedly, there are times when during the recording process you change your mind about sending a voice message. VKontakte has provided for such cases. You should simply swipe to the left edge of your screen when recording. You will see that the phone icon changed color to red when dragged (see the picture just above). Tap the red delete button and your message won't go anywhere. Note that all this functionality is quite well thought out, it is simple and easy to use, regardless of whether you have an iPhone or an Android smartphone. All the operations described above are done similarly for both mobile operating systems. The same cannot be said about the VK application for Windows, which has not yet implemented the function of recording and sending voice.
Let's systematize the above material. To send a voice message to VK from iPhone, you need to enter previously downloaded from App Store VK application. Next step, you must select the friend or subscriber to whom your message with voice is intended. If you don’t have very many subscribers, but want a lot more, cheat VK members. Have you chosen a recipient? Now tap the button that says: “Message” (see screenshot 1 below). A screen will open in front of you (2 - in the bottom picture). Now touch and do not release the microphone icon.
Speak the message and release the microphone icon - the message will be sent to the recipient. Note that the length of the message is not limited. Among the advantages of this innovation, it is worth highlighting such as: ease of sending, speed and liveliness of communication. That is why the innovation has already managed to conquer so many VK users.
– a new convenient feature from the site developers. Don't waste time typing on the keyboard, dictate a message and send it to your interlocutor.

In this case, the sent message cannot be returned! You, of course, can remove it from your dialogue, but the interlocutor will still hear the recording. Therefore, think carefully about what you send and to whom.
How to save a recording
A person always has a desire to capture and preserve best moments life. You might want to download and save a recording from your loved one. But we have to disappoint you: the VKontakte developers did not provide such a function. But there are several alternatives. For example, funny: try turning on the playback at full volume and recording a message on the voice recorder. Now you can dispose of it as you wish. But this is already the last century.
VKontakte users have long figured out how to download a file. True, this will only be possible with personal computer.
Let's look at an example of downloading in a browser Google Chrome. Open a dialogue where there is a voice message. Press the key combination: Ctrl+shift+I or F12.
In the window that opens on the right we see the code. We are looking for the voice message code - it is marked with the words “data-mp3”.
Help: You can simplify the task by pressing Ctrl+F and pasting into the search window: data-mp3.
Select the block with the words “data-mp3”. Don't worry, you won't make a mistake, the computer won't let you select too much. To copy a block, right-click on it. In the window that opens, click the word “Copy” (1), and then “Copy outherHTML” (2).
Paste into any Text Document. We are looking for a line that starts with “https://” (1). Copy (2) it from quotes to quotes.
How to change a voice message
Once you've sent a message, you can't do anything about it. It cannot be changed either on a computer or on a phone. If you didn’t have time to send it, you can work on the errors. You just have to completely delete the message and then write it down again.
Solving problems with voice messages
It happens that VKontakte users encounter problems when sending voice messages. Now we’ll find out why the microphone icon is not visible, a received or sent message cannot be heard, and what to do if audio messages are not sent.
Attention! Before listening to the message, check the connection and functionality of the speakers, headphones, and volume slider
If speakers or headphones are connected and you are sure they are working properly, check the volume settings. Take a look at your computer screen. At the bottom right, in the notification area, there is a speaker icon. Make sure the volume control is not at zero. Try running any sound file to check.
If the sound does not work in any program, and the volume control is turned up, there is most likely a problem with the drivers or sound card. In this case, contact those who understand computers.
If the sound works in other programs, the problem may be with the browser - check the settings and check the box next to the words “Enable sound notifications”. Try opening VK in another browser and listen to the message there.
It is also possible that you received an “empty” message. Turn it on again, look carefully at the equalizer. If its line remains flat during playback, your interlocutor has problems with the microphone. He sent you “silence.”
If you access the VKontakte website from a personal computer, then the microphone icon is already present - the site is updated automatically. More difficult with mobile application. If you don't have a microphone icon, check your app version. Make sure you are using a new one. Try updating through the app store or delete old version and download the new one (version 2.9 and higher). Once the installation is complete, a microphone icon will appear in the lower right corner of the dialog box. Allow the access that the system will request the first time you click the icon.
Other problems with voice messages
Let's try to figure out why the message is not being recorded and is not sent if everything is updated and the microphone sign is there. Conventionally, all problems with shipping are divided into two types - mechanical and software.
If you are reading our article, most likely you are not a programmer. But you can check whether the technology is to blame for the fact that voice messages do not work.
Mechanics
First, let's make sure the microphone is working. Take advantage standard applications yours operating system to record the sound of your voice. If the microphone is connected, but the voice is not recorded, try changing the location of the plug, switching to a different port. Not working again? Look for another headset, preferably a new one, and check if it works.
Software
The first thing you need to check is your browser and its settings. Is there a ban on using a microphone? Also – through the sound settings – check the microphone connection. Try sending a message using VK running in a different browser. See how current the drivers are sound card, maybe they need to be updated?
The problem may also be that the browser denies access to the microphone. Now you will learn how to configure it so that everything works. We go to the browser settings. Then press the lines “ Additional settings" - "Personal data" - "Content settings" - "Microphone". Next, open access to the microphone or set up exceptions. Add VKontakte to the list of allowed sites so that the error when recording audio messages disappears.
The function of sending voice messages, which appeared on VKontakte not so long ago, has made life much easier for users. There is no need to type text manually, you can continue to do your business and at the same time be in touch with friends.
Recently, the Odnoklassniki website acquired a function for sending voice messages called Push2Talk, which has long been available on other social networks. It provides the ability to send voice messages in the form of audio files received directly from the microphone without processing in audio editors. You can send voice notifications both from a computer and from a phone or tablet by allowing the browser or agent for working with OK.ru to work with the device’s microphone. Let's look at how to send voice messages on the Odnoklassniki social network and what problems may arise when working with voice notifications.
