If you're facing issues with granting the extension permissions to use your camera and microphone, please follow these steps:

If you denied access to your webcam and mic in the past, start by reading the instructions in this article.

Re-authorizing Google Chrome to record your screen

  1. Go to your Mac settings > Security & Privacy

  2. Scroll down to Screen Recording

  3. Unselect Google Chrome

  4. Restart the browser

  5. Go back to your Mac settings > Security & Privacy > Screen Recording

  6. Select again Google Chrome

Check your company security rules

It might also be the case that your browser / computer is under IT department security rules. If that's the case, the permissions on your browser / OS might be reset often, thus disabling mic and cam settings. Please check with your IT department!

Special set-ups

Using an external camera

If you using an external camera, confirm your external camera is connected correctly to your laptop/desktop and turned on.

Using a second monitor with your laptop

If you're using a second monitor next to your laptop, make sure your laptop lid is open. Some users reported Claap can't access their webcam and mic when the laptop lid is closed.
