How can I fix it if it my CAMERA or MICROPHONE don't have access?

When you start a Meet, you will get a message asking about using your camera / microphone. DON'T CLICK DISMISS!

Be patient and wait for the dialogue box that pops up asking "ALLOW" or "BLOCK". Choose Allow Google Chrome to access your camera.

You can also go to chrome://settings/content/camera in the Chrome address bar. Click the triangle beside Google Meet, and click "reset permissions", then change the setting beside the camera to "ALLOW".

You will need to refresh the Google Meet page and possibly grant camera access when prompted.
