Camera not working during identity verification

Learn how to fix your camera if it's not working during verification.

If your camera isn't loading during identity verification, here are a few things to try:

Turn off your VPN

VPNs can interfere with the camera permissions required by our verification provider. Turn off your VPN, refresh the page, and try again.

Start a fresh session

Log out of your account, close your browser completely, then open it again and log back in. This clears any stale permissions from your previous session.

Try a different browser or device

Some browsers and extensions block camera access. Try Google Chrome, or switch to another device to see if the camera loads properly there.

Stuck on "Connecting your camera..." on mobile

If the camera is buffering or stuck on this message on your phone:

  • Check that your browser has permission to use the camera in your phone's settings

  • Close any other apps that might be using the camera

  • Try again on a different device
