Webcam Black Screen
If your camera feed shows a black screen, try these fixes.
1. Re-allow camera access
You may have blocked the camera earlier. See our camera permissions guide to allow access again, then refresh.
2. Camera in use elsewhere
Another tab, app (Zoom, Teams, etc.), or virtual camera may be using your webcam. Close them and refresh the photo booth page.
3. Test your camera
Open your system camera app (e.g. Photo Booth on Mac, Camera on Windows) to confirm the camera works. If it doesn't work there, fix the hardware or drivers first.
4. Try another browser
Sometimes one browser has issues with a specific camera. Try Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox. Also ensure you're on the latest version.
