If Chrome won't allow access to your camera or microphone, there are a few things to check:
- Try using an incognito window. This will be helpful to make sure there aren't any Chrome extensions causing issues.
- Check another browser to see if the issue persists. This helps us check if it's a system-wide issue or a browser specific issue.
- Please confirm you are on the latest browser version. You can do this by going to chrome://settings/help
- Please confirm what permissions you have set for the microphone and camera. You can do this by going to chrome://settings/content - check that limlessons.com is allowed under both the camera and the microphone
Some issues can be specific to devices.
PCs:
Windows computers have a system setting that allows applications to access your camera and microphone. Please follow these steps to enable access:
- Open Windows Settings
- Select Privacy
- Select Camera
- Locate the toggle "Allow apps to access your camera" and set to "On"
- Scroll down and ensure your browser of choice has individual permission to access your camera
- Repeat this process for the Microphone setting
Macs:
- On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, then click Privacy.
- Click Camera.
- Select the tickbox next to an app to allow it to access the camera. Deselect the tickbox to turn off access for that app.
- Follow the same process for your microphone
If you don't see the Camera/Microphone setting in the Privacy section, please update your Mac OS to the latest version - https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchlpx1065/mac
If you have multiple audio devices connected to your Mac, it might sometimes not select the one you are trying to use. Here's how you can change those settings:
- Open your System Preferences
- Click on "Sound"
- Click the "Input" option
- Here you will see a list of your audio input devices - select the device you are wanting to use.
You can test if the changes are successful on this page: https://tokbox.com/developer/tools/precall/
