Hello, I am trying to do the video survey for a charger installation. Unfortunately, my phone (Pixel 8) will not allow the Ovo website to access the camera or microphone and I cannot see where in the settings I can give permission. Any ideas please?

Hey ​@Markfb 

 

Sorry to hear you’ve been having trouble doing the video for the installation, though I’m glad to see some of our community members have already stopped by with some helpful advice.

 

Have you had any lucky getting that done or did you try Whatsapp in the end?

 

I did find this article from Google Support, I’m not sure if it might be of any use if you’re still having trouble.

 

Let us know how you got on.

Hi Mark,

              As .Ksansbury suggested, try whatsapp, I had a OVO Solar survey on my house and it was done using WhatsApp video, I used the app and then deleted it when the survey was completed.
