You can use your camera and microphone for sites in Chrome, like Google Hangouts or Skype.

1. Open Chrome .
2. Go to a site that wants to use your microphone and camera.
3. When prompted, choose Allow or Block.

The permission you choose changes what sites can do with your camera and mic:

• Allowed sites: 
  • Sites can start to record when you're on the site. If you're in a different Chrome tab or a different app, a site can't start recording.
  • If you lock your phone screen, the site will stop using your camera. It can still use your mic.
• Blocked sites: Some sites won't work if you block them. For example, you won't be able to join a video conference.

Fix problems with your mic 

If your microphone isn’t working, try these steps:

Step 1: Make sure you aren't muted

If you’re using a headset, make sure the mute switch on the cord is off. Also, make sure you aren't muted on the website (like Google Hangouts or Skype).

Step 2: Check your system settings

If you're on a computer, make sure your microphone is the default recording device, and that recording levels are correct:

• Windows
• Mac

Step 3: Contact your manufacturer

If you’re still having problems, contact your microphone’s manufacturer.
