Voice speak and voice speach playback not needing to log in to test!
So, here I am trying to test my prototype with voice and speak features for people who do not read, and what? Why does it need to have a login to work the features? and only a few of them? I think is totally unfair to ask the person who is testing a layout to have to make a log in.. The person might do not want to comment on the file, but just do a use test, so I can't send the test link anybody who does not have an Adobe culture.. It is so hard to get the right people to test things and them adobe put another barrier on it.

I’ve attached Mark’s comment here for you:
Thanks for the question. We require a login for use of voice/speech features for security reasons, as we need to ensure the request is actually coming from an authorized source (like an XD prototype). I understand this requires an extra step or two for user testing, but it’s unfortunately necessary to maintain a secure platform.
I hope that helps explain things a bit…

I have clients that don't have Adobe CC, and not allowing them to listen to embedded audio for my prototype makes it a useless feature.
Create a guest option! A client signs in using their email and password to deal with this "security issue." Or please provide some workaround.
NONE of those features work exporting into Acrobat either, buttons, audio, etc., so frustrating. What is the point of prototyping if all the stakeholders can't utilize the prototype!?!
We are researching other enterprise solutions that CAN do this.

The current experience for sharing Adobe XD voice multi-modal prototypes through the web browser requires participants to login to Adobe when they need to use the mic. The ideal experience is to not force participants to login to Adobe to use voice services and enable their mic.
I've seen two other requests in this category for this feature. We need a different security method other than logging in to Adobe for external research participants to use voice services. The additional step to login is cumbersome and confusing. I understand that Adobe needs to validate the source of the request is coming from an Adobe XD prototype, but there needs to be a different workaround that does not impact the results of our research. Without this ability, it limits our usage of Adobe XD for prototyping.

One of the main purposes of a prototype is usability testing - and now that a lot of usability testing is done remotely, and unmoderated, it's completely out of the question to expect participants to create an Adobe account to participate in usability testing.
Shame, because that makes all of the cool voice functionality fairly pointless. -

Thanks for your reply Elaine. Ok, I got it and I understand the security reasons, but it would be very useful to skip these steps. Hope you can make these requirements more "easy" in future. Have a nice day.

With Adobe XD you cannot share prototypes that uses vocal commands unless you're logged in with your Adobe account. I've tried several time, also with the support team and with different OS. That's crazy! It means if I made a vocal based prototype with Adobe XD I need to send my credentials to a customer.... I think this is a very big issue that needs to be solved as soon as possible
