Use your camera & microphone

30/11/2019

You can use your camera and microphone for sites in Chrome, like Google Hangouts or Skype.

  1. Open Chrome Chrome.
  2. Go to a site that wants to use your microphone and camera.
  3. When prompted, choose Allow or Block.

The permission you choose changes what sites can do with your camera and mic:

  • Allowed sites: 
    • Sites can start to record when you're on the site. If you're in a different Chrome tab or a different app, a site can't start recording.
    • If you lock your phone screen, the site will stop using your camera. It can still use your mic.
  • Blocked sites: Some sites won't work if you block them. For example, you won't be able to join a video conference.

Change a site's camera and microphone permissions

  1. Open Chrome Chrome.
  2. At the top right, click More More and then Settings.
  3. At the bottom, click Advanced.
  4. Under "Privacy and security," click Content settings.
  5. Click Camera or Microphone.
  6. Turn Ask before accessing on or off.

To remove an existing exception or permission, to the right of the site, click Delete Delete.
