Camera and Mic Browser Permission Requirements to Enter an Ovice Space

Updated
 

To use ovice in a browser, you must allow the use of microphones, etc. in the browser. If you do not allow it, an error message will appear in the upper right corner of the screen stating "Please allow ovice access to your microphone and camera in your browser settings."

 

First time access

When you access a space for the first time, a pop-up will appear asking for permission to use your camera and microphone. Select "Allow."

 

Change settings

Even if you accidentally block use of the camera or microphone, you can change it back to "Allowed" later.

For Google Chrome

1. Access the space and click the icon on the left of the address bar.
