Example and practical tips

If a meeting app shows a black image, test here: a working picture means the camera is fine and the app’s settings or permissions are the problem.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the picture black?

Another app may be using the camera, a privacy shutter may be closed, or permission may be blocked in the address bar.

Is the video uploaded?

No. The video stays on your device.
