Recording on Desktop / Laptop:

Part 1: Check Your Permissions

Video: Make sure you can see yourself.

If you're seeing a black screen, it could be due to missing permissions.

Audio: Confirm that your microphone is turned on.

If the icon is red, your microphone is off.
If the icon is greyed out, you may need to enable the necessary permissions.

If you're having trouble with your microphone or camera, please review the article ‘Enabling Camera, Microphone, & Screen Access’ before proceeding.
