I do not have the possibility to click on the first option. I tried with an other App (Loom) and the camera worked, so the problem doesn't seem to be my MacBook. Can't somebody help me?

Hey @NiFu, sorry to see you're having this issue.

 

Since you're on a Mac, can you make sure that you've given Dropbox Capture access to your camera through your system preferences?

 

Let me know how that goes.

Hi @Hannah

Thanks for the answer. Yes, the access to my camera was already given (it worked before). 

For now, I tried again, and I do have the option to record my screen and use my camera. I don't understand what happened, but all seem in order now. 

Thanks for your time!

If it returns, make sure to let us know.

 

Have a great week ahead!
