Frequently asked questions
Why is my camera not working?
Another app such as Zoom or Teams may be using it, or the browser may be blocked from it. Close other apps and allow camera access in your browser and system privacy settings.
The microphone level does not move. What should I do?
Pick the right device from the list, check that the mic is not muted and raise the input volume in your system sound settings.
Why is my video mirrored?
The preview is mirrored like a real mirror, which feels natural. Other people in a call see you the right way round.
Is my video recorded?
No. The preview and the 5-second clip stay in your browser and disappear when you leave the page.
