Enabling Camera and Microphone

If you have logged into the session and the camera and microphone are not working, then follow these instructions and you should be able to turn them on yourself. Remember if you have trouble please contact Gary Barwick on 0413 884 805. The following is  for the Google Chrome browser, other browsers such as Edge, Firefox and Safari can be configured similarly.

First, click on the session link above to bring you to the RealBridge session you wish to play or review. If you see your image and the green bar is flickering while you speak then your camera and microphone are working, and you are good to go. If instead you see nothing but a video camera symbol with a line through it then the RealBridge website is currently blocked from using your camera and microphone (provided you have them on your computer that is). To enable access, follow the screenshots below and for most people this should get you going.

The images below may look different to how you see them as I like to use dark mode on my computer. Otherwise, they are functionality is the same.
