I am having to use ProctorU for online testing during this time. For whatever reason, it will not access my microphone and camera (needed so that we can be watched by the proctor during exams). On Firefox, I have everything set to "allow", including both my camera and microphone. On my MacBook, typically I can go to system preferences, and the sites that have attempted to access my mic and camera appear there, but they are not. I am at a loss and my exam starts in an hour.

Do you have "block new websites asking for permission" turned on under Microphone and Camera in about:preferences#privacy ? Just checking
