Allow Camera and Microphone Access (Chrome)

If your computer has a camera but you cannot record Extempore assignments, it's probably a permissions issue.

Before beginning, please keep in mind that we recommend Google Chrome as a preferred browser when using Extempore. You can download Chrome for free here.

Allow Camera and Microphone Access

When you log in to Extempore for the first time you will be prompted to record a test video and allow camera and microphone access.

If you accidentally click block, the video will not record successfully. You'll need to access your browser settings to revert it back to allow.

Here's how you allow can allow camera access within Chrome:

Step 1: In your browser search bar, type chrome://settings/privacy

Step 2: Scroll down to Privacy and security. Click on Site Settings.

Step 3: Click on Camera and ensure https://student.extemporeapp.com is in the allow section. Allow the same permissions on the microphone setting.
