# Set up Safari

> One extra switch for Safari users.

<Info>
  This page is only relevant for users of the Safari browser
</Info>

If you use Safari, Soda asks for one more thing: turning on its Safari extension. It lets Soda tell who's speaking on your Google Meet calls, so what's said lands on the right person.

Shortly after you first open Safari with Soda running, a window called **Set Up Safari** appears. It comes after setup on purpose, so if you haven't seen it before, nothing's wrong.

Only Safari needs this. Safari hides who's speaking on a Google Meet page from apps like Soda. The extension stops that. It's already installed with Soda, so there's nothing to download.

## Turn on the extension

</Frame>

<Note>
  If you haven't allowed browser access yet, the window asks for that first, then moves on by itself. See [browser access in Permissions](/docs/getting-started/permissions#later-browser-access).
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Open Safari Settings">
    In Soda's **Set Up Safari** window, click **Open Safari Settings**. Safari's settings open on **Extensions**, with Soda's extension selected.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the checkbox next to Soda's extension">
    It's called **Soda Meeting Accessibility**. The Soda window closes by itself once the extension is on. That's how you know it worked.

## Turn it on later, or turn it off

Closed the window? Nothing's broken. You can turn the extension on any time. Until then, Soda can't tell who's speaking on Google Meet in Safari.

The easiest way is to quit and reopen Soda, then open Safari. The window comes back. Or turn it on yourself: choose **Safari** > **Settings** > **Extensions**, then select the checkbox next to **Soda Meeting Accessibility**.

To turn it off, deselect the same checkbox. Soda asks again the next time it opens.

## Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does it work in Private Browsing?">
    Safari keeps extensions off in private windows. If you join Meet calls in one, choose **Safari** > **Settings** > **Extensions**, click **Soda Meeting Accessibility**, then select **Allow in Private Browsing**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I use more than one Safari profile. What do I do?">
    Each Safari profile has its own extensions, and they're off to begin with. In each profile you take Meet calls in, choose **Safari** > **Settings** > **Profiles**, select the profile, then click **Extensions**. Select the checkbox next to **Soda Meeting Accessibility**.
