Webcam Not Working

If your webcam isn't working with the photo booth, try these steps.

1. Check camera permissions

Make sure you've allowed camera access. See our camera permissions guide for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.

2. Close other apps using the camera

Zoom, Teams, Skype, or other video apps can lock the camera. Quit them completely and refresh the photo booth page.

3. Try a different browser

Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox are supported. If it fails in one, try another. Make sure your browser is up to date.

4. Use HTTPS

Browsers require a secure connection (HTTPS) for camera access. Ensure you're on https://webcamphotobooth.com, not an old or local URL.

5. Black screen?

If the camera shows a black screen, see our webcam black screen guide.
