Joining a live video conference on Smashcut requires a laptop or desktop computer with a working camera. iPads and mobile devices are not supported for live video meetings yet. Always use the Chrome web browser when accessing Smashcut.

Troubleshooting steps:

  • If you have a camera that you can unplug, unplug it and plug it back in. Sometimes that will jumpstart the camera to communicate with the browser.

  • Allow Smashcut to access your camera and microphone. Click the lock icon next to the web address and make sure you've allowed Smashcut to access your mic and camera.

  • Quit and restart your browser and try again

  • Quit and restart your computer and try again
