You do not have permission to use Siri Hello. I'm using a company owned and managed macbook pro. Anytime I'm on a video call (zoom, Google Meet, etc), I'm getting a dialog box that pops up every few minutes telling me that "You do not have permission to use Siri". Siri is disabled in my preferences already and I'm not attempting to use it. This only happens during video calls while I'm speaking. I'm not saying the word Hey or Siri at all, but it feels like my MacBook is thinking that I'm calling for Siri. Can you help?

Siri popping up on its own in macOS 15.3 For the best few weeks, even before this last software update, Siri has been popping up on its own. I'm not pressing any keys accidentally nor am I activating it's my voice by saying Siri or hey Siri. I've had to completely disabled Siri because it was getting extremely annoying and I can't find anyone else mentioning the same problem on the Internet. Is this happening to anyone else?

What Shortcut to Make SIRI Talk on Mac with Apple Intelligence? Hi, I was wondering, how can I talk to SIRI with a shortcut from the keyboard? Because with Apple Intelligence, there is no option anymore. Before there was cmd+space, but now it's not working. The shortcut works now only to type to SIRI, for example clicking double cmd. And if I want to talk, I need also to type the voice icon, and then again the return key to get the answer. Way more complicated. I don't want to use HEY SIRI because it's activated on my iPhone as well. Before it was very straight forward, one shortcut only (cmd+space) and SIRI would immediately talk and immediately give the answer after the question. Now it's more complicated, and more clicking to have the same experience from the keyboard. Do you have any idea? Something I missed? Thanks iMac M1 2021 macOS Sequoia 15.2
