Camera Troubleshooting

When attempting to use a camera for the first time, your browser will prompt you to Allow camera access. Be sure to grant this permission.

Click Allow to grant permission to use the camera.

Note

If the camera is blocked open the browser Settings to unblock the camera.

If you have camera issues, try unplugging and re-plugging in the device. You can also test the camera outside of EliteID to identify any hardware problems.

For best results, use a camera with at least 1080p resolution to ensure high-quality ID photos.
