- THi @osamamansoor. It looks like your browser doesn't have microphone permission enabled. Check out this Community post [here](https://community.ring.com/t/fix-for-live-view-not-working-from-rings-website-grant-microphone-permission/79252) where they found that by enabling the permissions, they were able to Live View.•

THi @osamamansoor. If you are having a Black Video, check out this Help Center article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023439472-Fixing-Black-Video-Errors-by-Adjusting-Your-Router). If you are still having issues, there is a test you can perform. Connect your Cam to a WiFi hotspot. Once connected, attempt Live View on Cellular Data as well as WiFi. If you can see the Live View, some adjustments will need to be made to your home network. This could be the security settings or the [ports and protocols](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/205385394-The-Protocols-and-Ports-Used-by-Ring-Devices). If the video is still black, you'll need to follow up with our support team to deep dive on this issue. Please give our support team a call at one of the numbers available [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406). If you are outside of the US, please visit [here ](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-gb/articles/213608406)to see how to contact support.•1

I'm shocked that ring has not looked deeper into this. This has nothing to do with our browsers. I have the latest version of chrome and edge. I have cleared cache and cookies. Still keep getting the "activating live view." This is not on the users' end! Please give us an update to this ring!
