The web browser could block camera access to third-party applications such as Google Meet. This default setting is intended to safeguard the privacy of users. Your browser should have prompted you to grant camera access when joining the Google Meet room. However, if you have mistakenly deselected camera access and chosen not to receive this notification, the notification that requests your authorization to enable camera access may not appear.

In this case, you must manually grant the necessary permissions using the procedures below. This procedure may vary depending on your browser.

Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Google Chrome: Click the camera icon in the right-hand corner of the address bar, then approve access and refresh the page.

In the setting, select “video.” Underneath the ‘send resolution’, alter the resolution size to 720p. This modification could enhance video quality. However, this solution will not resolve the video quality issue if the camera has a technical issue. This page’s settings is also where you can check to see if Google Meet has access to the correct camera if the video is not turning on. You can select which camera to use for your video conversation under the ‘camera’ icon.

Enhance your Wi-Fi web connection

If there is nothing wrong with granting Google Meet access to your camera, then the low video quality or connection may be due to your site’s weak internet connection. See if restarting the Internet improves the video connection or fidelity.
