Enable Camera and Microphone

When you first enter a new Show Viewer room, or first access a room from a new computer, the browser you are using to access the room will request that you give the app permissions to use your camera and microphone from your computer. This allows you to participate in the video and audio chat that is part of the Show Viewer room and permission should be remembered after the first time. To enable the Camera and Mic please follow the procedure below:

  1. Select the room you would like to enter from the Show Viewer homepage.

  2. The following window will pop up near the top of your browser window, select Allow.
