Troubleshooting

Fixes for common Facecast problems: no camera, the pop-out missing, a blank website on stage, a slow background, a recovered take, WebM instead of MP4.

The camera does not show#

Check the browser's permission for the site and that no other app is using the camera. Reload the studio.

The pop-out button is missing#

Document Picture-in-Picture needs Chrome or Edge.

A website on stage is blank#

Some sites refuse to be framed. Open it in a tab and share the tab instead.

The background is slow or ragged#

Try another engine, raise stability. The first use of an engine downloads its model, so the first try is slower.

My file is WebM#

Your browser cannot record MP4. Chrome and Safari versions differ, and the studio tells you which format it makes.

A take came back after a crash#

Facecast saved it to your browser's private storage as you recorded, and offers it on your next visit. Keep it or discard it.

I cannot share my screen on my phone#

Phone browsers do not offer it.

My AI cannot record#

That is by design. It writes the script and hands you a link.
