What permissions are required for live streaming?
Updated 2026-10-10
The browser must allow the camera and microphone for the Jimvio site. The host must be signed in.
What to do
- When the browser asks, allow camera and microphone.
- If you blocked them earlier, reset the site permission in the browser and reload.
- Start the session again.
Eligibility
Screen sharing needs its own permission when you turn it on. Co-hosts need to be invited into the session.
If something goes wrong
- A system-level block on the laptop overrides the page.
- Mobile browsers can refuse a camera that another app is using.
Use the audio and video article if the devices are allowed but silent.
