# requestUnmute()

Requests unmuting a remote user's microphone. The target user's id is provided as a parameter.\
A confirmation popup will be shown to the remote user, who can accept or deny the request.

{% hint style="warning" %}
You cannot forcefully unmute a remote user, because that can easily become a privacy concern. You can only request a remote user to unmute and then the remote user will accept or deny the request.
{% endhint %}

```javascript
sambaFrame.requestUnmute('9efc7798-a1a4-44bd-9d8d-532fe0feea9d');
```

**Sample use case**: \
Have a custom participants panel in your integration and want moderators to be able to request another user to speak - e.g the user may have forgotten that the microphone is muted.

{% hint style="info" %}
A related method is [requestMute](/reference/sdk/methods/requestmute.md), if you want to mute a remote user's microphone.
{% endhint %}
