Here’s a short write-up you can use for a knowledge base, email, or support document: Troubleshooting “Camera is Blocked” Error in Google Meet
When joining a Google Meet call, you may see a “Camera is blocked” error. This prevents video from being transmitted, even if the camera hardware is working properly. The issue is typically caused by browser or operating system privacy settings.
After making changes, fully quit your browser and restart it before rejoining the meeting.
In Chrome/Edge, go to chrome://extensions → Disable ad blockers, VPNs, or privacy extensions temporarily.
