For the successful execution of your Video Request the full functionality of the camera and microphone is necessary. If you encounter any problems, simply perform the following checks:

Check 1: Check connection ✔️

If you are using an external camera and/or microphone, you should check the connection first. Check that all cables are plugged in and that your computer recognizes the device. Try different connection options, such as using a different USB port. To verify the functionality of your external device, you can also try it on another computer. It can also help to search for new drivers on the device's manufacturer's website and install the latest drivers on your computer.

Check 2: Camera or sound is used by another program 📹🔉

Sometimes it can happen that your camera is used in the background by another program. This must be prevented, because two programs cannot access the camera at the same time. To solve the problem, simply close the web page or program that is using the camera. To be on the safe side, you can also restart your browser or computer.

Check 3: Missing access rights 🔑

Your browser settings may deny our web app access to your microphone and camera. There are 2 ways to check this:

Browser settings:

Click on the button with the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of your browser.

Click on "Settings".

Scroll to the end of the settings and click on "Advanced". Search in the category "Security and Privacy" the "Content Settings". There you will find the share settings for your camera and microphone.

Search bar settings:

  1. Click on the camera icon in the upper right corner of the search bar.

  2. Allow the website to use the camera and your microphone.

3. Reload the page again - now everything should work!
