If you have denied access or accidentally clicked **Block**, your browser will remember that decision until you change it. In that case, when you enter the practice window you will see a pop up indicating you must grant access. ![](https://support.brevitypitch.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-21-2026-11-08-14-4837-PM.png?width=670&height=356&name=image-png-Feb-21-2026-11-08-14-4837-PM.png)   **Note:** You must reload the page after updating your permissions.
