Fix Iriun Webcam not connecting

If Iriun Webcam is not connecting, first establish whether the failure is between your phone and computer or inside the application where you want to use it. A connection failure alone does not identify the cause. No Iriun documentation, device details or error message was supplied, so a specific cause, supported connection method or microphone capability cannot be confirmed.

Check where the connection stops

• 1. Open Iriun on the devices involved and record any connection status or error message. Check whether the computer receives a picture before testing it in a meeting application.
• 2. If no picture reaches the computer, continue with the connection checks below. Changing the meeting application's microphone selection will not establish the missing device connection.
• 3. If the computer receives a picture but your meeting application does not, check which camera that application has selected. Close and reopen the application after establishing the connection, then check its preview again.
• 4. If the picture works but speech is missing, move to the microphone checks. Working video does not establish that the intended audio input is available or selected.

Try reversible connection checks

• 1. Close and reopen Iriun on both devices, then retry the connection. If it connects, a temporary application state is a possible explanation; this result does not establish the original cause.
• 2. Confirm that your installed Iriun versions support your operating systems and chosen connection method. Those requirements are not established by the supplied information, so check them in the product's help before changing your setup.
• 3. If your supported setup uses a local network, check whether the devices are on networks that permit communication between them. A shared network name alone does not prove that devices can communicate. If the connection works on another trusted network, the original network becomes a stronger suspect.
• 4. If your supported setup uses a cable, reconnect it and try another known-working data cable or port. A connection that works after one change points toward the component or port you changed, although another check may be needed to confirm it.
• 5. Review any permission requests or security alerts associated with the failed attempt. A refusal is a lead to investigate, not proof that it caused the failure. Avoid disabling security protection broadly.
• 6. Restart the devices if reopening the applications does not help. Retest the connection before opening other camera applications so that the result is easier to interpret.

If video connects but the microphone does not

First verify whether your particular Iriun configuration supports forwarding phone audio. The supplied information does not establish that capability. If audio forwarding is unavailable, select another available microphone in your recording or meeting application to capture speech alongside the video.

• 1. Open the recording or meeting application's audio settings and inspect its available microphone inputs. Exact control names and menu paths depend on the application and version, which were not supplied.
• 2. Select the input you intend to use. Do not assume that choosing the Iriun camera also chooses a microphone.
• 3. Check that the selected microphone is unmuted and that the application has permission to access it.
• 4. Speak and watch the application's input meter, if available. A moving meter indicates that the selected input is receiving a signal, but it does not by itself confirm clear speech.
• 5. Make a short recording and listen back. Confirm that your words are audible and that the recording uses the intended microphone.
• 6. If the input works in one application but remains silent in another, focus next on the affected application's input selection, mute state and permissions. If it fails everywhere you test, investigate input availability and system permissions.

If it still will not connect

For a useful support request, record the phone and computer operating systems, Iriun versions, connection method, exact error text, whether video reaches the computer, and which checks changed the result. These details are needed to narrow the cause. A connection failure alone does not justify replacing the phone, computer or microphone; consider hardware service only when separate checks also show that the relevant hardware fails.
