  • On Safari, you have different ways of the browser treating requests to give access to microphone and camera to specific websites:

    • Ask: The site must ask if it can use the camera on your Mac.

    • Deny: The site can’t use your camera.

    • Allow: The site can always use your camera.

    In order to be able to use MirrorTalk with your Safari browser, you need to select either Ask or Allow in the Safari -> Settings -> Websites -> When visiting other websites space.

    

    

    When reflecting at mirrortalk.ai from Safari, if you selected "Ask", you will be automatically giving access to microphone and camera to MirrorTalk, so you will not need to perform any additional steps. If you selected "Allow" for websites when using microphone and camera, you and your students and colleagues will be prompted to allow access to the microphone and camera before the reflection starts. 

    1. From the dashboard were you are reflecting, click on Start. 

    

    2. If you selected option "Ask" in your Safari settings, you will be prompted to grant access to the microphone. To be able to reflect at mirrortalk.ai, select Allow.
