At the bottom right select the Start Captioning button. If Web Captioner asks to use your microphone, grant it permissions to do so.
Web Captioner will display the captions of any voice audio that is playing on your computer, including a live Collaborate session.
At this point Web Captioner should be working. If it's not working refer to the Troubleshooting section below. Web Captioner seems to often display a Too Quiet warning at the bottom–you can usually ignore this, but ensure that the volume in the application you're using (e.g., Collaborate or YouTube) is set to 100%.
With these changes, your computer system audio is now available to programs such as Web Captioner as the VB-Cable CABLE Output microphone.
