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 the 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. To check this, proceed as follows:

Search bar settings

That's the easy way:

Click on the camera icon in the search bar and allow the browser to use the camera and sound. Reload the page now - now everything should work!

Browser settings

If you can't find the camera icon in your search bar, follow these instructions.

  1. Click on the button with the three horizontal lines in the upper right corner of your browser.

  2. Click on "Settings".

3. Click on the category "Privacy & Security" on the left.

4. Scroll down to the heading "permissions".

5. There you will find the share settings for your camera and microphone.

6. Reload the website - everything should work now!
