How do I turn on my Chrome camera?

Turning on the camera in Chrome is easy. According to Google, here is how you turn on your camera:

1. Open Chrome on your device.
2. Go to a website that needs to use your camera and microphone.
3. A message will pop up asking if you want to let the website use your camera. You can choose "Allow" or "Block."
   1. Allowed sites: These sites can use your camera when you're on them. But if you switch tabs or apps, they can't use it anymore.
   2. Blocked sites: If you block a site from using your camera, some things on the site might not work, like video calls.

This way, you control which websites can use your camera, balancing what you need and your privacy.
