Why you may lose Camera or Microphone access when using a phone

If your camera and mic are unexpectedly altered, an incoming call while you’re on a doxy.me call on a cellular device is the most likely reason. The best thing to do is enable Do Not Disturb (DND) on your phone or the patient’s phone whenever you’re in an active call.

2. Turn on Do Not Disturb.
3. Turn Scheduled off.
