Camera & microphone permissions

In your browser

When you start recording, your browser asks for camera and microphone access — choose Allow. If you dismissed it, click the camera icon in the address bar to re-enable.

On macOS

Open System Settings → Privacy & Security and make sure your browser is enabled under Screen & System Audio Recording (for screen capture), Camera, and Microphone. Restart the browser after changing these. A missing Screen & System Audio Recording permission is the most common cause of a black screen when recording your screen.

On Windows

Allow your browser to use the camera and microphone in your system privacy settings.

Supported browsers

All major browsers are supported. Chrome is recommended for the most reliable recording.
