2. Select Camera.

3. Select the checkbox next to the browser you're using (Chrome or Firefox) to allow it to access your camera.

4. Repeat the above step for Microphone, within the Privacy tab.

Windows

1. Go to Settings > Privacy.

2. Select Camera (under App Permissions).

3. Make sure "Allow apps to access your camera" is turned on.

In addition, regardless of your operating system, please ensure all other applications that utilize your camera or microphone (e.g. Zoom, Slack, Teams, Facetime, etc.) are completely closed.
