SquadCast records through your browser, so it needs permission to use your microphone and camera. You'll usually only grant it once, the first time you join a session.

## Grant browser permissions

1. Join a recording session as the [host](/squadcast/join-session) or a [guest](/squadcast/join-session).
2. Click **Get Started**.
3. When prompted, click **Allow** to give SquadCast access to your microphone and camera.
