Common device issues experienced on Mac and our suggested fixes.

Updated over 2 years ago

If you’re using a Mac for your lessons and having trouble with your device, give our quick fixes a go first - they solve a lot of common issues!

Our quick fixes didn’t do the trick? Try the suggestions below to get you back on track.

Check your Safari Browser Preferences - your microphone, camera, or sound can be turned off in your browser preferences:

  • Click Safari

  • Go to Preferences > Websites

  • Select the setting Allow for your Camera and Microphone preferences.

Check your Mac Privacy Settings.

  • Click the Apple menu

  • Go to system preferences > security & privacy > privacy > Microphone or Camera

  • Make sure your web browser is selected to be Allowed access.

Other known fixes we would suggest:

  • Update your OS. The majority of Mac issues are caused by updates, so keep your Mac shipshape and install your updates with plenty of time before your lesson!

  • Use a wired headset. Bluetooth headphones can cause echoing in the lesson space.

  • Check a third party filter, Antivirus, or Firewall application is not blocking your device from using your microphone or camera.


We recommend spending 5 minutes trying to troubleshoot. If these tips didn’t do the trick, please get in touch via phones or live chat so that we can get you into your lesson ASAP!
