How to enable the camera on the phone in Discord

Install permissions for using the camera

The Discord Mobile application allows you to make voice calls or run broadcasts using the frontal or main chamber. However, for this in Android or IOS, you will need to issue appropriate permissions. If an access request does not appear automatically when you try to enable the camera, follow these steps:

1. Expand the curtain with notifications and click the gear icon to go to the system settings.



2. There find the "Applications and Notifications" section.



3. Open a list of all installed applications and select "Discord".



4. Tap the "Permissions" item to see all the access settings provided for this application.



5. The Camera point is "allowed" or "prohibited", and depending on this you need to find it.



6. Make sure the permissions are provided, and if not, open the setting and change the parameter, marking the desired item.

As you can already understand, in this section with the settings you need to provide a discard permission to use the camera. Skip this stage if the notification has already appeared in the application and you activated all the necessary rights.

Call with the camera included

More for discord no settings do not need to be carried out, as for the internal account parameters, since they are simply absent. Immediately you can go to a personal conversation on video link or include a camera in a common voice chat.

1. Select Chat or open your username with the user.



2. When connected information appear, join the camera by clicking on a special icon.



3. After installing the connection, you will see that the image is read from the front camera. If it is missing, press the camera button to turn it on. She is responsible for temporary shutdown, which may also be needed during the conversation.



4. From above, you will find a button to rotate the camera that switches from the front to the main one.



5. After that, users will see what removes your main camera. Switching between them can be done at any time.

Settings for using the camera on the server

If you are the creator or server administrator and faced complaints from users that they cannot use the camera on voice channels, you will need to check the role settings by turning attention to one right.

Option 1: PC program

The server administration often occurs running the Discord program on a computer, so first we will analyze the instructions for providing rights to use the camera in this version.

2. In the menu that appears, you are interested in "Server Settings".



3. After the list appears with the parameters, go to the "Roles" section.



4. Select a role for which you want to make changes in the use of the webcam.



5. Find the "voice channel rights" block and activate or disable the "video" right.



6. Additionally, each voice channel can be configured individually by going to its parameters.



7. Open "Access Rights" and change the value of the "video" to the necessary, after selecting one of the participants or a whole role.

Do not forget that the role is assigned to each server participant separately, which affects his rights. If you have never encountered similar settings, we advise you to read two useful articles on our website by clicking on the following links.
