+== What to do if you accidentally denied permissions ==
+If you clicked "Dont allow" or "Deny" on the initial permission prompt, the Mixed Reality camera will not activate. To fix this and grant access later:
+  * While in the Meta Quest Browser on the application page, look at the URL address bar at the top.
+  * Click the Padlock icon (Site Information) located just to the left of the website address.
+  * Select Site Permissions from the dropdown menu.
+  * Find Camera and Microphone (and "Immersive VR" if listed) and change their status from Blocked to Allow.
+  * Reload the webpage for the changes to take effect and launch the MR view again.
+  {{ :en:viewer:webpermission.png?direct&400 |}}
+If you need to verify or update the permissions for the headset's built-in browser (such as camera or microphone access), follow these steps inside your device:
+  * Open Settings.
+  * Navigate to Privacy & safety > Installed apps .
+  * Select the browser app from the list.
+  * Ensure that permissions like Virtual Camera, Headset Camera, and Microphone are toggled On.
