Configuring Device & System Permissions for the Teleprompter
TLDR: Check your system permissions and ensure that your recording devices are powered on.
Overview
To use Speakflow's Flow and Video mode, you need to make sure your web browser has access to your camera and microphone. Here's how to do that:
- Open your web browser and go to the "Settings" or "Preferences" menu.
- In the "Privacy" or "Permissions" section, find the "Camera" and "Microphone" settings.
