# Update Camera Audio Status

`POST /cameras/v1/audio/status`

To use the Camera Audio API, you will need to generate an “Camera Audio” API key (separate from Read only and Read/write API keys). This doesn't work if Camera Audio is globally disabled (visit <a href="https://help.verkada.com/en/articles/6937133-feature-manager">Feature Manager</a>) or if audio is not supported by the camera model.
