PURPOSE Testing your camera helps prevent video problems before a meeting or recording. STEPS Open camera settings, a camera app, or meeting app video settings and preview the camera. CHECK Confirm the correct camera is selected, the lens is uncovered, lighting is acceptable, and the background is appropriate. COMMON FIXES Close other apps using the camera, allow camera permission, reconnect external cameras, or restart the application. BEST PRACTICE Test before important meetings instead of during the dramatic first thirty seconds.
