✅ What you can do
- Use a personal laptop instead, if available — this avoids IT-imposed restrictions entirely.
- Check browser and system permissions
- Enable access for camera, microphone, and screen sharing
- Follow the steps in these articles to enable:
- Test in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox (latest version)
- Contact your IT team
- Ask if restrictions like screen recording blocks, audio input filters, or group policies are in place
