Troubleshooting

If the camera is still not enabled, close all tabs and/or browsers, restart the browser and load the WeCP test page. Read more on Recommended browsers for tests.

-> Ensure no other application is using the camera in the background - zoom, teams, etc.


Important:
Ensure that your hardware is intact and functional. The easiest way to check is to go to the Google Meet website and start a meeting with your camera-enabled. If you can see your image in the browser meeting, your camera is perfectly functional!
