# How to allow permissions in Chrome?

When you take an assessment or join an interview on Talview, Chrome needs permission to access your camera, microphone, and screen sharing. In this article, you will learn how to allow each of these permissions so your session can proceed without interruptions.

### Before you begin

* Make sure you're using the latest version of Chrome. You can check by going to `Settings > About Chrome`.
* Close any other apps that may be using your camera or microphone, such as Zoom, Teams, or Skype.

### **Allowing camera and microphone permissions**

1. Open your Talview assessment or interview link in Chrome.
2. When Chrome displays a pop-up asking to use your camera and microphone, click **Allow**.
3. If you don't see a pop-up, or if you previously clicked **Block**, click the **tune icon** (or **lock icon**) in the address bar next to the site URL.
4. Click **Site settings**.
5. Find **Camera** and set it to **Allow**.
6. Find **Microphone** and set it to **Allow**.
7. Go back to your Talview tab and refresh the page.

<Tip>
  If Chrome still doesn't prompt you, you can update permissions from the browser settings:

  * Click the **menu** in the top-right corner of Chrome and select **Settings**.
  * Go to `Privacy and security > Site settings`.
  * Under Permissions, click **Camera** and make sure **Sites can ask to use your camera** is turned on.
  * Do the same for **Microphone**.
  * Go back to your Talview link, refresh the page, and click **Allow** when prompted.

1. When your assessment or interview requires screen sharing, Chrome will display a dialog asking you to choose what to share.
2. Select **Entire Screen** (unless instructed otherwise).
3. Click **Share** to confirm.

<Note>
  If you're on a Mac and screen sharing doesn't start:

  * Go to`System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen Recording`.
  * Make sure **Google Chrome** has a checkmark next to it.
  * If you just added Chrome to the list, quit Chrome completely and reopen it for the change to take effect.
</Note>

> If you're on Windows, screen sharing in Chrome generally works without any additional system-level settings.

<Tip>
  **Additional tips**

  * If you're using Chrome at work or school, your network administrator may have restricted camera, microphone, or screen sharing permissions. Contact your IT team for help.
  * Antivirus or endpoint protection software sometimes blocks camera access even when Chrome shows permissions as allowed. Check your antivirus settings for a webcam or video protection feature and add Chrome as a trusted app.
  * Try opening the Talview link in an incognito window if permissions aren't working as expected. This helps rule out browser extensions that may be interfering.
