Until a few days ago, the microphone feature worked fine. I initially thought I may need an update, so I saw the app did require it so I updated. I also restarted the base station, restarted my phone, uninstalled & reinstalled the app and the app has permission to use the microphone and it still will not work. The resources here are useless...no customer service to talk to for help. Everything I've seen on the community indicates all of what I tried.
Anyone with the same issue lately? I have a Samsung Galaxy S7.
Solved! Go to Solution.

A new version of the Arlo mobile app is now available in the app store (3.6.5). Please download the latest version from the app store and test your microphone again. If you still experience an issue, please let me know.

The development team is currently investigating these reports. Once we have more information available on a fix, I will provide an update here on the community.

Same thing is happening to me. I did all of the above as well. Uninstalled and reinstalled app, restarted base station, nothing is working. I continue to get the "connection failed" message. I am using both Galaxy S8 and S21

Does anybody know a way to contact Arlo to get it resolved?
You need to use the support options in the app - googling for Arlo support will almost certainly lead you to a scam support site.
Unfortunately phone support now requires a subscription.

I've tested this and i'm seeing the error message, but it appears to still be transmitting audio through the microphone. Is this consistent with the reports above? Is the microphone still transmitting but showing an error message saying "Connection failed. Tap this message to retry."

I also have S21 Ultra and the same problem, but it seems to be a bug in the Android application.
I tested via a browser at Win and the feature worded there. It means a bug at the Android application.

I have had the same issues, and also completed all troubleshooting.
My partner also has the same Android phone as me although he seems to not have this issue.

Has your partner updated to the latest version of Arlo Android application?
I did not have a problem with the earlier version of the software.

I am having the same issue. I have the Hard ware spec: VMB3500r4. Not sure if that the Pro or Pro 2 model. Using my Note 10+. Last few days, every time I pressed the Microphone I received "Connection Failed. Tap this message to retry". I would press the message and received the same error.

Neither, you are posting the base station model.
If your cameras use four replaceable batteries, then you have the original Arlo Wirefree Cameras.
If they use a single lithium battery, then they would either be Pro or Pro 2 models. There is a part number inside (look behind the battery) that starts with VMC. You can also distinguish them from the bezel.
