Why is my camera or microphone not working?

Open the Permissions page from the popup menu. It shows whether each device is granted, denied, blocked, in use elsewhere or missing, and helps you fix that state.

1. Open the Permissions page

   Popup menu, then Permissions. Each device shows its state.

2. Read the state

   Requesting means the browser is asking now; answer the prompt. Denied means you said no once; press Try Again. Blocked means the browser remembers a no; press Review Permissions to open the browser's site settings and allow it. Device In Use means another app or tab has it; close that first. Device Missing means nothing is plugged in or the OS has not given the browser access.

3. Try Again

   Once the state reads Granted, go back to the Record tab and pick the device.

The mic meter does not move

The device is allowed but silent. Check the operating system's input level and that the right microphone is selected, both in the OS and in the Record tab.

Screen recording says nothing was chosen

Desktop recording needs you to pick a screen, window or tab in the browser's picker each time. Cancelling the picker cancels the recording.
