Error: Low Camera Resolution

Please make sure your camera has a minimum resolution of 480px for both width and height. If your computer's front-facing camera doesn't meet this requirement, you can resolve the issue by connecting an external device.


Error: The Device is Occupied

For some Windows devices, simultaneous streaming from multiple applications is not supported. Please make sure that no other applications are using the camera streaming simultaneously. If you find any, please close those applications and try again.
