Inject an audio file

On an open device that has audio injection enabled, you can inject an audio file to mimic microphone reception. This is helpful when testing actions in apps that rely on audio input. Audio injection mocks the use of the microphone by using an uploaded audio file format and presenting it to the application as if it was read by the device microphone.

To learn more about audio injection, including requirements and limitations, see Audio injection overview.
