How to manage camera, microphone and location permissions in Chrome

Change the permission for one site

Open the site and select the site information icon next to the address. Open Site settings, change the required camera, microphone, location or notification permission and reload. Permissions can differ between subdomains and browser profiles. Limit access to the site where you need it.

If permission is granted but the camera still fails

1. Check camera and microphone separately under Privacy and security → Site settings.
2. Allow Chrome in the operating system’s camera and microphone settings.
3. Check the device selected by the meeting app. Headphone output and microphone input can point to different devices.
4. Close any competing app. Ask your administrator if a work or school policy locks the settings.

Review location and notification access

Revoking precise location permission still leaves a site able to estimate an area from your IP. Check which source the app uses if it shows the wrong city. For unexpected notifications, review the allowed sites in Chrome and remove the unfamiliar one. Clearing all browsing history is unnecessary.

Retest and remove access if you no longer need it

Reset a permission if you want the site to ask again. In the meeting preview, verify the microphone level and camera image. You can remove a persistent permission after the meeting. Astrotor reports the browser environment; site access itself is managed in Chrome.
