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:

  1. Open your web browser and go to the "Settings" or "Preferences" menu.
  2. In the "Privacy" or "Permissions" section, find the "Camera" and "Microphone" settings.
  3. Make sure both of these settings are enabled or "on". If they're not, you'll need to turn them on in order to use Speakflow's Flow and Video modes.
  4. Depending on your browser and operating system, you may also need to grant permission for the web browser to access your camera and microphone. If you see a pop-up asking for permission, be sure to click "Allow" or "Grant" to enable these features.
