  1. Open Chrome Chrome.
  2. Go to a site that wants to use your microphone and camera.

    • Allowed sites: Sites can start to record when you're on the site. If you're using a different Chrome tab or a different app, a site can't start recording.
    • Blocked sites: Some sites won't work if you block them. For example, you won't be able to join a video call.

    • Review your blocked and allowed sites.
