Camera Not Working: Start Here

First, check which camera you are trying to use. The next steps differ for the device camera, a USB webcam, a DSLR, and the Remote Camera app.

Built-in camera on a phone or tablet

If you see a camera icon with a line through it, check the app's camera permission.
If the camera is selected but the live image is hard to see, check the onion skin slider.
If the app closes when you create a project on Android, see Legacy Camera Mode.

If your other device does not appear or connect, follow Remote Camera Not Working.

If the camera works in other apps but still fails here, include your device, camera model, and Stop Motion Studio version when you contact support.
