How to Enable Camera on Omegle

When first starting an Omegle video call in any browser, the website should ask you permission to access your camera and microphone. You can simply click Allow on the pop-up to enable your Camera on Omegle.

If such a popup doesn’t show up, or you pressed No, then you will have to manually give the necessary permission. However, the method to allow camera permission will vary depending on the browser you use and your device.
