Abstract
Systems and methods for enabling a media input device configured with multi-step enablement are disclosed. A client device joins a video conferencing session and disables a media input device at the client device. A setting of multi-step enablement for the media input device is activated during the video conferencing session. The client device generates a prompt for a subsequent enabling action in response to an initial enabling action during the video conferencing session. The client device compares a received subsequent action to a reference answer corresponding to the prompt to generate an enabling decision. The client device enables the media input device in response to the enabling decision if the received subsequent action matches the reference answer corresponding to the prompt.
