  2. In older versions of Chrome, you need to install the Supervisor browser extension;
  3. Instead of the extension, you can allow access to the screen with a special flag, which must be specified as an argument when running the "chrome.exe" file: --enable-usermedia-screen-capturing

6 No access to webcam or black square instead of video

If a picture with a crossed out camera, a black rectangle, or a loading indicator is displayed, it means that the browser cannot access the camera or the camera does not work correctly. The reason may be problems with the webcam, the camera driver or access to the camera from a web browser, if the camera is in use by another application in the operating system (such as Skype or another browser), or access the camera is blocked Antivirus (ESET — static picture icon crossed out camera, Kaspersky — black screen). You need to close all applications that can work with the camera, disable the antivirus (or camera protection in it) and update the current tab in the browser. You can try restarting the computer.
