Did something go wrong when you tried to create a recording? If so, you may have seen a popup that looks like this. Inside it, we show you the specific technical error that occurred:
Here are the most common errors, what they mean, and some pointers on how to prevent them from occurring:
NotAllowedError
The most common cause for this is that when your browser prompted you to grant access to your screen, camera, and/or microphone, you accidentally clicked "cancel" or "don't allow".
In order to record into the browser, you will need to grant this access when prompted. Simply refresh the page and when prompted, go ahead and grant access.
Alternatively, if you'd prefer not to grant access to your camera or microphone, you can upload a recording you've already created using a different tool (like Quicktime).
If after refreshing, and granting access, if you're still seeing this NotAllowedError, then your operating system needs to grant access to your browser.
NotReadableError
This error means that your camera and/or microphone is currently in use by a different application. If this is the case, then make sure you stop using or quit entirely any other applications that might be using your camera or microphone, such as:
Zoom, Google Meet, or other virtual meeting tools
Quicktime or another application that's recording
Another browser tab that might be using your camera or microphone.
