Having trouble accessing your camera and microphone?

Still seeing an error message?
If you are still having trouble connecting your camera or microphone, shut down all other applications that may be using/ used your device's camera and/or microphone. If you have recently been using your camera and/or microphone on other applications such as Google Hangouts, Zoom, etc, try shutting down these other applications as they may be retaining control of your device's camera and microphone.
