Additional steps

If changing your browser’s permissions doesn't work, try the following steps:

  • Clear your cache and restart the browser. Your permissions will be reset, and you will be asked to grant them again.

  • Restart your computer.
    ​

  • Turn off browser extensions (e.g., Adblock) and try opening Studio in incognito mode.
    ​

  • Try a different browser.

  • If you're on a Mac, check if you have enabled the relevant OS permissions for your camera and browser. Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera. Make sure your browser is listed and is toggled on.

  • Check if your camera works on our webcam test tool or another site like Google Meet.
    ​

    • If it doesn't, there may be compatibility issues between your camera and the browser. Consider contacting the camera manufacturer.
