A quick camera check before a take saves you from a dark bubble or the wrong device.
Checklist
- Allow camera access when Chrome prompts.
- Enable the webcam bubble in Screen Recorder – Video & Webcam and confirm your face appears.
- Face a light source; avoid a bright window behind you.
- Pick the correct camera if you have more than one.
- Start a short test recording, then delete it if you do not need the file.
When the bubble looks right, continue with webcam bubble on a screen recording.
