I’m having trouble with my video calls. I checked my app permissions, but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?
I recently had issues recording videos with audio. After following the steps in this article, I realized the app didn’t have microphone access. Once I enabled it, everything worked perfectly! Wish I had checked that sooner.
Does enabling microphone access mean the app can always listen to me?
No, enabling microphone access only allows the app to use the microphone when you are using it. You can revoke access anytime in your settings.
I think the process is a bit complicated for someone who isn’t tech-savvy. I had to ask a friend for help because I just couldn't find the settings easily.
Just a tip: Always remember to check both camera and microphone permissions individually. It can be easy to overlook one of them!
