To allow camera/microphone permissions in Edge, follow these steps:
Quick Fix: When on a website, click the lock icon (to the left of the address bar) > Select Permissions for this site > Change camera/microphone to Allow.


Manage All Sites: Go to edge://settings/content/camera (or Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Camera) to see a list of blocked/allowed sites.

Check Windows Privacy: Open Windows Settings. Navigate to Privacy & security > Camera. Toggle ON “Let apps access your camera”. Ensure “Allow desktop apps to access your camera” is on, and Microsoft Edge is listed.
