    If your camera isn't working on Omegle, your web browser may not have permission to access it.
    • First, go to https://www.omegle.com and click Video .
    • On Chrome, Edge, or Firefox, look for an icon that looks like a video camera. If you're using Chrome or Edge, it might have an X or a line through it. Click the icon, then choose Allow . If you don't see an icon like this with Omegle open, click the padlock icon in the address bar, then click the toggle switch next to your camera and microphone.
    • On Safari, click the Safari menu and select Settings for This Website… . If you don't see "Allow" next to your camera, select Allow now.
