Digital booths
Restore camera access for one booth page in Chrome
Fix a blocked web camera without changing permissions for every site.
If a browser-based portrait or sharing page lost camera access, review that site’s Chrome exception first. Keep the repair scoped to the site and confirm the operating system also allows Chrome to use the camera.
Inspect the site permission
Open the affected page in Chrome, select the site information control beside the address, then open Site settings. Change Camera to Allow for that site. If the wrong device is selected, use Chrome’s camera setting to choose the intended camera.

Check the computer permission
If the page still has no camera, open the computer’s privacy settings and make sure Chrome is permitted to use the camera. Managed work or school Chrome profiles may prevent the user from changing this setting; an administrator may control it.

Reload and test
Reload the booth page and confirm its preview comes from the intended camera. If access remains blocked, check whether another app is occupying the camera and restart the browser after changing system permission. Remove the site exception again after a temporary event if the page should not retain access.
